HR 45, update on firearm legislation
Tracking Firearms, Friday, January 23, 2009
U.S. Representative Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) recently sponsored H.R. 45, also known as "Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record
of Sale Act." The bill is a licensing and registration scheme. The measure calls for all handgun owners to submit to the federal
government an application that shall include, among many other things: a photo; an address; a thumbprint; a completed, written
firearm safety test; private mental health records; and a fee. And those are only some of the requirements to be licensed! The bill
would further require the attorney general to establish a database of every handgun sale, transfer, and owner's address in America.
Moreover, the bill would make it illegal to own or possess a "qualifying firearm" -- defined as "any handgun; or any semiautomatic
firearm that can accept any detachable ammunition feeding device…" [emphasis added] without one of the proposed licenses.
Additionally, the bill would make it illegal to transfer ownership of a "qualifying firearm" to anyone who is not a licensed gun
dealer or collector (with very few exceptions), and would require "qualifying firearm" owners to report all transfers to the attorney
general's database. It would also be illegal for a licensed gun owner to fail to record a gun loss or theft within 72 hours, or fail
to report a change of address within 60 days. Further, if a minor obtains a firearm and injures someone with it, the owner of the
firearm may face a multiple-year jail sentence.
H.R. 45 is essentially a reintroduction of anti-gun legislation, H.R. 2666, which Rush introduced in 2007.

Now ALL GUNS must be listed on your next (2010) tax return!
The American public had better wake up. Hitler started the same way. Freedom evaporated before anyone knew what was happening.

Senate Bill SB-2099 will require all guns to be listed on 1040 federal tax form. It will require fingerprints and a tax of $50 per
gun. This bill was introduced on February 24, 2009, by the Obama staff. BUT, this bill will only become public knowledge
30 days after the new law becomes effective! This is an amendment to the Internal Revenue Act of 1986. This means that the
Finance Committee has passed this without the Senate voting on it at all.
The full text of the IRS amendment is on the U.S. Senate homepage: http://www.senate.gov and http://www.senate.gov. You
can find the bill by doing a search by the bill number, SB-2099. Please send this information to every gun owner you know.

Obama's Congress is now starting on the firearms confiscation bill. If it passes, gun owners will become criminals if you don't
fully comply. It has begun and is just the 'tip of the iceberg!' 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. Even gun shop owners didn't know about this because the
government is trying to fly it under the radar as a 'minor' IRS revision, and, as usual, the 'political' lawmakers did not read this
bill before signing and approving it! To find out about this - go to any government website and type in HR 45 or Goggle HR
45 Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sales Act of 2009
Basically this would make it illegal to own a firearm - any rifle with a clip or ANY pistol unless:
1) It is registered 2) You are fingerprinted 3) You supply a current Driver's License 4) You supply your Social Security number
5) 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 years
in prison. This is one to act on whether you own a gun or not..
We all should have the right to choose. May God Bless You
