Liberals Are Control Freaks!

"Whether the liberals are passing a stimulus bill that creates a new government agency to compile an electronic database of the medical records of every American, “stealing” a working man’s money and giving it to an illegal alien, or attempting to prevent a person from owning a gun to defend themselves, it is obvious that they are delusional control freaks...Justice Scalia writing for the majority boldly and unequivocally declared, 'We start therefore with a strong presumption that the Second Amendment right is exercised and belongs to all Americans'...Despite this ruling, Democratic Congressman Bobby Rush filed HR 45, a licensing and registration bill. Under the provisions of this bill, the government would give you permission to own a gun only after registering it, undergoing psychiatric testing, and being fingerprinted. To top it off, you will have to pay a fee to own a gun which is a tax on your Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms." [link]

More and more control everyday. That is the trend we are starting to see isn't it? And at a time in history "liberals" used to be the party of personal freedom. The only question(s) that remain(s) to be answered now is: When does it end? How do we stop it? Can we stop it? Where do we go from here? What America needs now is a strong leader not a person who attempts (and is doing a pretty good job so far) of ramming their personal politics and agenda down the throats of all Americans.

We need to remember a democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting over what is for dinner. A republic is a well armed sheep asserting its rights as well.

More Gun Grabber Silliness

"Toure Muhammad, communications director for Rep. Rush, says while the Blair Holt bill would set up a system for tracking guns, it would not an infringement of Second Amendment rights. He explains, "This is not an attempt to ban guns. It is not intended in any way to impede the constitutional right to own or carry a gun. Instead, it would simply set up a system for registration of the type guns specified in the bill," Muhammad continues. "It would provide a way for police to track a gun that is used illegally back to its owner. It would be similar to the system we have for registering and titling automobiles." [link]

Couple of points here, don't you like the way the 2nd Amendment, which is a right, is now compared to automobile registration and titling. Also what will more than likely be tried is the classic bait and switch. This bill will get plenty of coverage, but won't go anywhere, instead a "milder" legislation will be written as a sort of compromise. Now is the time to be eternally vigilant.

Every Gun You Own Will Become Contraband

Yep, you read it right. There is currently a bill introduced in this session (111th) of Congress that calls for mandatory testing of gun owners, plus a tax, a biometric capable photo of yourself, and fingerprints. And if you can't pass the written test or provide anything else asked for guess what? "Every gun you own will become contraband and subject to confiscation, while you stand trial before imprisonment."

Don't believe me read the bill just click the link, select "Bill Number" and enter "HR 45" HR 45
