Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009, otherwise known as HR45 is wending it's insidious way through the House.....I sincerely hope that it never gets out of committee, but the mere fact that a GFW is bold enough to even suggest such an act shows just how far down the path to Fascism we have trodden.

Any Congress-critter "bold" stupid enough to even THINK of such a bill even ten years ago would have, rightly, been run out of town on a rail with a thick coat of tarry feathers to keep him warm.

Why I am I so incensed? Read some of the provisions of the bill, if YOU are not incensed at the proposed denials of a basic right recognized in our Constitution, I question your patriotism, if not your sanity.

Mr. Rush (D -IL) is proposing a vast new bureaucracy that will have control over your basic right of self protection, the very bedrock of our Republic. He is of the opinion that the Government has the right to restrict weapons to those few it deems "safe" and control even those people to such an extent that their ownership becomes a mere caricature of ownership.

The only question before us now is: are We the People made of the same stuff as our Founding Fathers ? They threw over a tyranical government for much less reason. Have We become too complacent and/or cowardly to stand up for the basic rights They fought,sweated,bled, and died to let us freely exercise?

Read your history people. I suggest you concentrate on Germany circa 1934 to 1938. Don't make the mistake to believe "it can't happen here". It IS happening here, at the least, the beginnings are happening NOW; we have time to change it before it's too late, but not much time, and it will take courage and a steely resolve to fight to stop it.
