Early effort to take away guns

Look what Chicago's own Bobby Rush is pushing.

Are you ready for the U.S. 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.

An email sent to me about this bill mentioned that this bill in Congress almost completely mirrors one that was defeated last year in the Illinois House of Representatives after it was introduced by then-Rep. Rahm Emanuel, now President Obama's Chief of Staff . Will we the citizenry be as lucky this time? Only by close monitoring and heavy pressure on our U.S. Representatives to flush this bill down the drain!

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 fascist 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 rise up 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.

Send this on to all true patriots! Protect your Second Amendment!

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?

Today I emailed Rep. Melissa Bean

RE H.R. 45
I respectfully urge you to not only vote against this Bill, but also to criticize Rep. Bobby Rush on the House floor for introducing this Bill. He, like you, has sworn to uphold the U.S. Constitution. By introducing this Bill, he has broken his oath of office.
Please inform me within ten (10) days where you stand on this Bill. Are you for or against? I specifically request a reply by email, US Mail, fax (815-338-2666) or telephone.
Sincerely,
Gus Philpott

When the Founding Fathers of this country created the second ammendment it was not so much as to assist in the defence of this country from foreign invasion but to allow the citizens of this country who formed the government and gave it its powers to take it back from a government who began to believe that it has its own God given intrinsic powers and are not responsible to the people who created it. Power corrupts and absolute power absolutely corrupts. When the citizens of this country have to be afraid of their govenment it will be to late...the Founding Fathers believed that the government should have some fear of the law abiding citizenry for with and armed citizenry comes the power to resist and overthrow a government that has become tyranical and no longer follows the Constitution of the United States of America. The second ammendment was created to protect us from our own government gone astray.

Germany and many european countries had laws like the one proposed and when the time came the tyrants would simply have some local magistrate sign an order and then knock on your door and demand you surrender the list of firearms they knew you had...of course the people doing the knocking and demanding were well armed.

To Rep. Bobby Rush:
Re: HR 45
When the Gestapo shows up at your house, how will you protect yourself?
Please re-read the Second Amendment and do nothing to infringe the rights of a law-abiding citizenry to bear arms.

You too can write to Rep. Rush by email. Just put in 60619-3102 for the ZIP Code on his email form. Go to www.house.gov, find his name, and use the webform.

Not that he'll read it...
