But I think this is something we should all know about ASAP! The 111 Congress is now taking up the Blair Holt act of 2009, You can go to this site to see what all it entails: http://www.govtrack.us/co...billtext.xpd?bill=h111-45 Looks like near universal licensing to me, and that just isn't the idea behind, "Shall not be Infringed" in my mind, as it only takes a bureaucrat to decide not to issue or renew your license! Perhaps this could serve as a wakeup call to those who thought the new administration wasn't going to bother with going after our guns!!! Mods, Please consider keeping this post up, even if you wish to lock it down first! Thanks!!! Last Edited By: Aubullet 02/04/09 04:28 PM. Edited 1 time.

I will not referee a fight for two reasons. #1, I 'will' take sides on the very conservative pro-gun/pro-2nd amendment side and #2, I generally do not allow political/religious debate on this site, mostly because of reason #1. I cannot and do not seek to ever be a neutral overseer of such issues. I Do take sides.

[13] * In 1969, Bobby Rush served six months in prison for illegal possession of firearms. Rush sounds like a nice fella doesn't he? I bet he doesn't pay taxes like the rest of em either. The bill was just introduced into the judiciary committee. It still doesn't have any co sponsors. Wonder why some other gun grabbing nut hasn't stepped up to sponsor it. Ash Iron Construction

It says something about the 2nd Amendment guarantees us the fact that all the other Amendments exist and without the 2nd Amendment, the other Amendments would soon disappear. Curt

People here want the romantic image of a swat team coming to their house. A big spending regime like we have would just have you turn your guns in at the local gun shop and pay you top dollar to do it. They'd leave compliance to the snitches.
