It has started, you better read this:

[Hugh]

HR 45, Blair Holt Licensing and Record Act

This is provided as information that should alarm most of you. The air has not yet stilled from the peaceful change of power in this country and already the Democrats have marshalled the anti-gun forces to license and fingerprint you into a National Database of gun owners. Note that there is no National Database of Convicted Felons and those who have lost their citizen's rights to gun ownership, but there will be one that seeks to make you either a dupe or a felon if this law is passed.
I request and suggest that you contact your elected representatives to voice your opposition to this bill to abridge your Rights. Note that the original author of this bill is Rahm Emanuel.

Subject: Are you ready for this??

Are you ready for the House Bill titled 'HR 45, Blair Holt Licensing and Record Act of 2009'. It will make it illegal to own a firearm unless it is registered with the database in Washington D.C. As a gun owner you will have to be finger printed, you will be required to provide your DL#, SS#, you must maintain a valid address at all times, submit to mental and physical health records being put on file, you will also be required to file any address changes and any ownership changes even if a private sale. Each update will cost $25 and if you fail to comply you will lose your right to own firearms. This bill and its language mirror almost completely one defeated last year in the House of Representatives by soon to be Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. Will we the citizenry be as lucky this time?

Pass this on to everyone who believes in strict Constitutionalism and remember that laws only apply to those who obey them. Criminals by definition and nature do not abide by laws. New laws and restrictions only apply to the law abiding citizen and are not written with the criminal in mind. With guns, it is not about having laws on the books to prosecute individuals, it is about taking guns away from the people so that no one has them in the first place. One last item to note, when assuming power and creating a facist state, Hitler was a proponent of strong gun laws because a disarmed populace was much easier to control than an armed one. The kings of old also outlawed weapons of any kind in any region that they conquered to quell the ability of the citizens to uprise against them.
The Founding Fathers of this nation understood all of the above and because of this they included the second amendment in the constitution. In fact, they knew that at some point in every society's life span that the need for the population to arise came about. To this end they made the right to keep and bear arms against a tyrannical state an absolute right that could not be revoked. They did this because the first thing tyrants and despots do is to remove a population's right to defend themselves. When this is done, the tyrants have no problem with the destruction of society as we know it.

The following is a summary of the bill as provided by the Congressional Research Service. If you read the whole bill, you'll find it will effectively preclude the ownership of ANY firearms by law-abiding people unless licensed by the Attorney General. How long do you think THAT would take??

Congressional Research Service Summary

The following summary was written by the Congressional Research Service, a well-respected nonpartisan arm of the Library of Congress. GovTrack did not write and has no control over these summaries.

What did you expect, the Democratic is controlled by the far left. Look at the stimulus package, it has very little to do with stimulus and more about pushing an agenda. Obama is going to make Bill Clinton look like a conservative. It's all about CHANGE.

Yeah cause at the end of the day "CHANGE" is all we will have left in our pockets.

Big government and socialism are where successful countries go to die.

Look for the big push to come in the 2nd term when there is no danger of not being reelected

"Look for the big push to come in the 2nd term......."
I'm takin' bets that the regime will so disappoint their radical base that there will be no second term. No way the man can live up to the myth.

Just heard on the radio yesterday (NY market... paraphrasing from memory):

"Mexican officials are dealing with some of the worst drug violence in the country's history. They are also contending with a smuggling issue that goes the other way. Most of the military style weapons being used against Mexican police are coming from U.S. gunshows. We need to find a way to close this loophole."

Oh yes, it has begun!

Jack, I live a few minutes from a Mexican border crossing and go often. They check no one going into Mexico. Just a guard who waves you in. He might every 10th time look in your trunk but NEVER search your car.
If Mexico REALLY wants to stop guns smuggled in they should secure their border. They don't or they would.

I have yet to see the arms the drug dealers are using at the gun show. They have n easier time getting from corrupt officials.

I'm with you... it's a complete load of crap. It wasn't a Mexican official speaking, it was someone from the U.S.

Today, these kinds of statements are regarded as political genius: Advocate for poor neighbor by restricting access to "evil" firearms.

Yesteryear, nonsense like this would be outed as the treacherous exercise it really is: Placating an enemy of the state by restricting the liberty of your own population.

I do consider Mexico an enemy of the state. They are not merely turning a blind eye... they are actively encouraging a civilian invasion of our country.

This might shiver your britches:
