H.R. 45: The 80 Million Criminal Gun Owners Act

or, Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009

A crazy person did something illegal with a gun in one state

Somebody died for no reason

So now, because, you know, guns can be traded in interstate commerce, we'll just go ahead and assume that they will be at some future date, and we're going to go ahead and require you to register them now, mmmkay?

Hold on there.

A certain number of weapons in the VFD arsenal have paperwork associated with them, from when I bought them from FFL's, which points directly at me. A certain number do not. If there is a requirement to register all or any of them, this requirement will not be met. I will be a criminal and that's a 100% guarantee.

Why?

Because somebody broke a law that was already on the books.

and

Because the school bus driver was disarmed by statute. Israel responded properly, and their school bus drivers are armed. If this driver had been armed, the child who died, would not have done.

We need MORE guns in MORE citizens' hands. We do NOT need more criminals who have done nothing besides sit on their easy chairs watching their stories, while a .38 revolver that has been in the couch cushion for years sits there harming nobody.

Go on, it's short, read the whole bill. To save you the trouble looking it up, a qualifying firearm may be read "any firearm".

This is the naked face of a tyrant waiting for his opportunity to arise and protect you from yourself. the Juden had to wear a patch to identify themselves. Do you gun owners want to do the same? If this becomes law, it will be overturned by the supreme Court or the country is finished. But by then, the most law-abiding of gun owners will have put their names on the list and you can bet your boots that list will not be destroyed. If it is not overturned, by the way, Congress is free to do anything they want to control your life, completely without restriction. Since people engage in interstate commerce, why not make us all wards of the state and regulate us into 100% bliss?

This is not the purpose of the federal government of the United States. This is a blatant power grab by someone who needs to be voted out of office.

For now, this is a "watch" and not a "warning" as there are no co-sponsors. Most bills don't even make it out of committee. Let's hope the good People of Illinois will take heed and kick this [deleted] out of office next time he's up for re-election. The Congressman has a Blog and I left a comment about this bill. Let's see if it ever gets published.
