However it isn't finished as it went to sub-committee on the 9th and if we don't get busy writing our representatives and senators they are going to slide it through and then what?

TheGlobule 1 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 This is total B.S. What a bunch the F...ing Morons! According to the text, you would need a license to possess a firearm (like you would need a driver license to possess a car...) if your license is not renewed before it's expiration date and you own a firearm, you automatically become a criminal and may loose your right to ever own a firearm again (like having a car in your drive way without a driver license...) Are these ass-shit paid to come up with this? It just make me sick that these people would receive money from the tax payers to write this shit... Stupid Morons...

Paulry 50 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) This law if passed will instantly create at least a million felons. Just think about all the old people that have shotguns or rifles in closets, attic's and basements. Many millions don't even know it's there. It's time to pull out the crystal balls! What are you prepared to do about it? Edited February 20, 2009 by Fluid Power Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zone1935 5 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 My NRA membership went through on Nov. 5th. I still plan on contacting my senators and reps. I figure if one of the strongest pro 2nd orgiznations gains a large % of new members, then the dems will take notice. BTW, Guns and ammo had an op-ed peice on joining the NRA. They were for their subscribers joining. One argument against the NRA was that they were too extreme, the editor summed it up perfectly. "If you thimk the NRA is extreme, take a strong look at the groups on the other side." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RangerM9 1 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 done.... Dear Congressman, I'm writing you today to protest HR45 , the latest attempt to make law abiding gun owners into criminals. SCOTUS ruled that gun ownership is an individual right, and I know of no other Individual right afforded to us in the US that requires a government issued license to exercise. Gun ownership is a right, plain and simple, any bill trying to circumvent that right will be challenged and found unconstitutional. Please fight the passage of this and any such bill that seeks to strip away our rights. Thank you very much for your time and service to the people of WI, and the nation.

gunman1 1,753 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I must shamefuly admit my ignorance on this due to 30 years of no interest in firearms, sorry. I found this website, http://www.opencongress.org/battle_royale?...meframe=AllTime , and it appears that the vote is overwhelmingly against it. Will someone take a look at it and advise if I'm misguided please. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is what it does appear at this time, but until it dies in sub-committee, we need to watch and keep the letter going out. In other words we need to hound the hell out of them up in Congress until they quit even considering bills like this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MD_Willington 11 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 HR45 has no cosponsors at this time, that makes it one to watch... BUT what you need to look out for is the letter from 53 senators regarding reinstating the AWB on the grounds that the border violence due to Mexican drug trafickers will be stopped... They will pass these as homeland security, national defence and safety measures... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
