The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution is a favorite target of those left of center. “Blair Holt’s Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009″, or H.R.45(1) is no exception. It currently sits in the House Judiciary, Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security after its introduction to Congress on January 6th, 2009.
The bill is listed as ostensibly to protect the public. What it does do is to mandate that all firearms owners are licensed either federally or by the state(2) . And making private party sales of firearms illegal(3) . None of that matters because the Federal Government is giving itself the authority to issue license to OWN any type of firearm. Additionally it allows the Attorney General to enter your home and verify that your firearms are secured and inaccessible to your minor children(4) .
The gist of the proposed law is that it would be ILLEGAL to own a firearm unless -
- It is registered
- You are fingerprinted
- You supply a current Driver’s License
- You supply your Social Security #
- 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.
I would like someone to explain how putting these limitations on any other of Our Rights under the Unites States Constitution would be tolerated. But thats a moot point isnt it? No one would tollerate having to register in order to enjoy their freedom of the press, or to assemble peacibly, or to speak freeley. No. Only those nut jobs who would even want to own one or more of those vile firearms.
