denjac Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sale Act 2-16-09 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 pistol 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. http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.45: http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h45/show http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-45 Please.... copy and send this out to EVERYONE in the USA More On Gun Grab HR 45 Here... http://news.google.com/news?oe=UTF-8&h...amp;tab=in& ned=&q=HR+45&btnG=Search+News Dennis Boothe Joplin Mo.

Al Agnew Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 While I agree that this bill bears watching vigilantly, most observers are pretty sure it will never be passed. Fact is, Rep. Rush of Illinois first introduced it back in 2007 not long after the teenager Blair Holt was killed, and it went nowhere then. He reintroduced it on Jan. 6 and it has been bottled up in the House subcommittee on terrorism and homeland security or some such subcommittee. Rush is the ONLY sponsor...nobody else, Democrat or Republican, has come forward to support it. Any bill that has any chance of going anywhere will have a bunch of co-sponsors. Capitol watchers expect that it will never get out of the subcommittee. Once again, the internet rouses the rabble to little purpose. By the way, the internet letter above has some factual errors. The bill has no provision for coming into your home and inspecting for compliance, the inspections only apply to places of business. And it would not require anyone to submit mental health records. There are some other inaccuracies as well, but I didn't write them down after I got that far.
flyfshn Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I strongly suggest you also contact your government officials and let them know your thoughts. Fish On!

trout fanatic Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Flyfshn: I concur 1000%. I have already contacted mine and am urging others to do so immediately
Al Agnew Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Like I said, once again the internet rouses the rabble to little purpose. Geez, guys, put your energy into something you SHOULD worry about. This bill ain't going anywhere at this point. Like I said, it bears watching, and if it ever got a few more sponsors or somehow made it out of committee then it would be time to get active in opposing it. But let's get real. The NRA has to be all over this, but I don't see them gathering the troops. If you think ANY gun control bill could "sneak in under the radar", especially one who's ONLY purpose is gun control (as opposed to sticking something in an unrelated bill), you're delusional. And if you DO feel the need to let your representatives know your feelings about this bill, make sure you get the facts straight, which the piece above did not. At some point, I expect some serious and dangerous gun control bill to rear its ugly head. The general run of Democrats in the House includes quite a few dingbats. (I could say the same thing about the general run of Republicans, just dingbatty on different issues.) But this ain't it.
trout fanatic Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Al: I am plan to inform my reps with my concerns on ALL gun legislation. Whether its high flyin-in your face-legislation or under the table crap. If that makes me dingbatty than that is a title I will hold my head high about. In my view, the time to complain ain't when the guns are gone. Jes sayin.
Al Agnew Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I hear ya... It's never a bad idea to be a squeaky wheel with the politicians. All I'm saying is, if you complain too much about something that isn't going anywhere and you don't have the real facts, chances are you'll be dismissed as a kook. If you're well-informed and passionate about something that IS a problem, you will probably be listened to.
