Do you remember hearing about this? Never forget, there are those in government who want the people of this country disarmed, we must stay vigilant....Gordon

Larry Pratt is fighting for our rights; he is a true American, as apposed to those who would take liberty away, like President Obama and his freedom hating cohorts in congress. Believe me when I tell you that lose of liberty is looming, because it is, and if we don't take a stand now, then when will we, if not us, then who? Will we leave our children less freedom than we were left by our forefathers? We need to take action; we need to save our freedom, and we need to do it now!

H.R. 45: Here Comes Gun Control
I said it several times, it wasnt Obama you had to worry about, but Nancy Pelosis House, when it came to gun control. Sure, Obama will easily sign it, unlike what Bush would have done, but, here we go!
Say, wheres the ACLU when you need them to stand up and say Nyet! to a clear violation of the 2nd Amendment?
I found this while perusing the Democratic Underground, but, Say Uncle provides some great information
1. Require licensing for anybody that owns a gun.
2. Would require photographs and a thumbprint
3. Would require passage of a test that covers:
(A) the safe storage of firearms, particularly in the vicinity of persons who have not attained 18 years of age;
(B) the safe handling of firearms;
(C) the use of firearms in the home and the risks associated with such use;
(D) the legal responsibilities of firearms owners, including Federal, State, and local laws relating to requirements for the possession and storage of firearms, and relating to reporting requirements with respect to firearms; and
(E) any other subjects, as the Attorney General determines to be appropriate;
Say Uncle also points to Snowflakes In Hell, which has some great information. Sebastion states
Normally, Id tell everyone not to worry too much, because its probably not going anywhere, but we cant take anything for granted in this Congress. Right now the bill has no co-sponsors, and has not been scheduled for a committee hearing, so it is no threat right now. But we should keep an eye on it.

Some other interesting points of the Bill
Section 102 (a) (1) a current, passport-sized photograph of the applicant that provides a clear, accurate likeness of the applicant; (what is wrong with a DL?)
Section 102 (a) (8) an authorization by the applicant to release to the Attorney General or an authorized representative of the Attorney General any mental health records pertaining to the applicant; (that sounds rather intrusive)
Section 103 (c) looks to be creating a federal firearms card, with your picture and information. This from the Party that goes ballistic over a national ID card.
Section 104 makes it seem as if all renewals go through the AG of the USA. Does this mean that I have to go to a Federal office to reapply, rather then the Wake Country Sheriffs office?
Thats all for now, a more in depth look if it manages to get farther in the House.
