H.R. 45, The Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing

[TheREMF]

I ran across this by accident and haven't seen anything else about it. This has been referred to the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security and has no sponsors but it still looks nasty.

"H.R. 45, The Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009"

"H.R. 45 would provide for the implementation of a system of licensing for purchasers of certain firearms and for a record of sale system for those firearms."

Some of the highlights include:

1. Require licensing for anybody that owns a gun.

2. Would require photographs and a thumbprint

3. Would require passage of a test that covers:

(A) the safe storage of firearms, particularly in the vicinity of persons who have not attained 18 years of age;

(B) the safe handling of firearms;

(C) the use of firearms in the home and the risks associated with such use;

(D) the legal responsibilities of firearms owners, including Federal, State, and local laws relating to requirements for the possession and storage of firearms, and relating to reporting requirements with respect to firearms; and

(E) any other subjects, as the Attorney General determines to be appropriate;

This looks like an attempt to register every gun owner in the U. S. It probably won't fly but there is probably more to come.

How would they know what firearms are owned by whom?

H.R.45 was just introduced and is in committee now. Government Track: H.R. 45

Hopefully, they learned the lesson about infringing on anything gun related. It cost the Dems a lot of seats last time.

Well, since this is in the News Dump...

Guns are wicked evil things. Only the police and military should have guns. You don't need a gun if you are in the United States because the police and military will protect you. A gun is only designed to kill, and we are a civilized nation. We don't kill anymore, and this ain't the Wild West! The only people that have guns are stupid rednecks and self conscious men who are over compensating for small penises. If you have a gun you are more likely to shoot yourself or a loved one than a robber. If you do get robbed you are more likely to have it taken away and used against you than if you didn't have one at all.

:D :D :D

Agreed. Guns are abhorant devises used by small minds who cannot contemplate the wonders of peaceful existance. Only the truely connected mind can overcome a violent society...like President Obama...now THERE....is a man amoung men.

A guy I knew actually argues that guns should be illegal because they get stolen from gun owners buy criminals who then go shoot people with them.

Same theory with cars except they run over people. Glad you didnt say he was a friend.
