I know this is a bowhunting website but I thought all hunters should read this.
This bill was introduced in the 111th Congress by U. S. Rep. Bobby Rush
(D-IL) on Jan. 6, 2009
<http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h45/show>
Very Important for you to be aware of a new bill HR 45 introduced into the
House. This is the Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sale Act of
2009. We just learned yesterday about this on the Peter Boyles radio
program.
Even gun shop owners didn't know about this because it is flying under the
radar. To find out about this - go to any government website and type in HR
45 or Google HR 45 Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sales Act of
2009. You will get all the information.
Basically this would make it illegal to own a firearm - any rifle with a
clip or ANY handgun unless:
*It is registered.
*You are fingerprinted.
*You supply a current Driver's License.
*You supply your Social Security #.
*You will submit to a physical & mental evaluation at any time of their
choosing.
*Each update - change or ownership through private or
public sale must be reported and costs $25 - Failure to
do so you automatically lose the right to own a firearm
and are subject up to a year in jail.
*There is a child provision clause on page 16 section 305
stating a child-access provision. Gun must be locked
and inaccessible to any child under 18.
They would have the right to come and inspect that you are storing your gun
safely away from accessibility to children and fine is punishable for up to
5 yrs. in prison.
If you think this is a joke - go to the website and take your pick of many
options to read this. It is long and lengthy. But, more and more people are
becoming aware of this. Pass the word along. Any hunters in your family -
pass this along.
Peter Boyles is on this and having guests. Listen to him on KHOW 630 a.m.
in the morning. He suggests the best way to fight this is to tell all your
friends about it and "spring into action". Also he suggests we all join a
pro-gun group like the Colorado Rifle Association, hunting associations, gun
clubs and especially the NRA.
This is just a "termite" approach to complete confiscation of guns and
disarming of our society to the point we have no defense - chip away a
little here and there until the goal is accomplished before anyone realizes
it.
This is one to act on whether you own a gun or not. If you take my gun,
only the criminal will have one to use against me.
HR 45 only makes me/us less safe. After working with convicts for 26 years
I know this bill, if passed, would make them happy and in less danger from
their victims.
*It has already started....*
*Ammunition Accountability Legislation*
*Remember how Obama said that he wasn't going to
take your guns? Well, it seems that his allies in
the anti-gun world have no problem with taking your
ammo!*
*The bill 20 that is being pushed in 18 states
(including ** Illinois ** and ** Indiana ** ) requires
all ammunition to be encoded by the manufacture a
data base of all ammunition sales. So they will know
how much you buy and what calibers. *
*_Nobody can sell any ammunition after _**_June 30,
2009_**_ unless the ammunition is coded._*
*_Any privately held uncoded ammunition must be
destroyed by July 1, 2011. (Including hand loaded
ammo.) _*
*_They will also charge a .05 cent tax on every
round so every box of ammo you buy will go up at
least $2.50 or more!_*
*If they can deprive you of ammo they do not need to
take your gun!*
*This legislation is currently pending in 18
states: Alabama , Arizona , California ,
Connecticut , Hawaii , Illinois , Indiana , Kentucky
, Maryland , Mississippi , Missouri , New Jersey ,
New York , Pennsylvania , Rhode Island , South
Carolina , Tennessee , and Washington ..*
*Send to your friends in these states AND fight to
dissolve this BILL!!*
