Are you daft?

I hope you are just honestly mistaken but to state that Ron Paul introduced this pile of filth is woefully inaccurate.

Rep. Bobby Rush [D, IL-1] is the one to blame for this one.

Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. Well, sort of, I’m a Desert Storm Vet and a CHL holder. I have yet to find that the law abiding citizen is the one running out to the local pak’n’sak just to steal a pack of cigs and a beer. Criminals don’t care about gun control laws or licensing. THEY’RE CRIMINALS! Strengthen the laws that hold criminals accountable, not the ones for law abiding citizens! If a guy holds up a pac’n’sak for cigs and beer, don’t slap him on the wrist and let him loose after 90 days for good behavior, send him up the river for 5 to 10 without parrole. Murder anyone? capital punnishment applies, period.
Making all gun owners have to be licensed is just rediculous. The bureaucracy already in place does nothing but hamper the reasonable safety policies also already in place. Stricter enforcement of existing law, without loopholes and third and fourth and fifth chances, is a much better approach.

…whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it… Thomas Jefferson

Please, why don’t we get back to personal accountability!!! Stop blaming everything on everyone else. We are our own worst enemy. We let this happen. The power that be and the media see an opportunity every time someone uses a firearm unlawfully and cries we must save the children and no one wants to see children hurt or killed right? So lets ban guns. what a joke that is.

Education is certainly the key but it is every individuals responsibility to get the answers to their questions. The problem is that most people don’t care enough to bother. They have what I call the FAT AND HAPPY SYNDROME.

Ok, I am not going to get all hysterical here…… But, did anyone notice that Congress has proposed licensing one of the fundamental rights codified in the first ten amendments? How long before you need a license to exercise free speech, or attend a certain church?

Scary. Hitler did this, Stalin did this…

I think sponsoring a bill to restrict citizens’ firearms is a foolish act for politicians in light of how they are expecting citizens and taxpayers to bail out their Wall Street and banking cronies.

We want our country to thrive economically and every other way. Right now we’re willing to pay pay pay pay pay if it will benefit America. But that can change. Or am I the only one who is beginning to think we have “taxation without representation”? Politicians need to buckle down, stop worrying about what perks and privileges they can glean for themselves while in office, do the job they were elected to do, stop fighting among themselves like kindergartners, and leave our right to keep and bear arms ALONE.

Repair the economic damage done to our country, by Washington, and focus on promoting citizens’ well being until that job is done.

That was Great!!! Be sure to watch the video a possible and likely glimpse into our future if we do not do something!

Congress has no business even getting involved in this. Each state should have its own laws the handle these issues and treated as that state sees fit. There is no way Washington has a clue on the needs and wants on this issue that residents of a particular state may have and need. Would seem to me, this another attempt by FEDS to dictate what a state should do as they see it rather than the folks that live in that state. FEDS have no right or business in this issue.

this bill dumb criminals dont register this bill is anther way to creat communist control im poor i do good to afford a hunting license let alone a fee so u can keep track of me a magazine includes a 22 for pete sake i hate that our country will be totally government controlled if we dont win majority in 2010 walk in the little mans shoes before u serve live our life with no help then tell me bout changing all the laws

It’s total B.S. What really gets me is that even if you’re able to maintain the stupid license required to own a gun, you still have to wave your rights, allowing the officials to enter your home at any time (without a warrant) to make sure your gun is locked and out of reach of children. They hide behind the “we want to keep children safe” caveat, but really that’s just their way of taking away our rights and getting around the warrant process. How am I going to keep my kid safe if I can’t get to my gun when I need it? Basically, if you own a gun, you’re opening your door to officials at any time. Welcome to the start of socialism/communism/total government control. So, if this passes, I can say, “hey criminal, come into my house and do whatever you want. I have a gun, but don’t worry because it’s locked up securely enough that I can’t get to it in time to protect myself.” Congratulations criminals. This is your lucky day! Sleep easy fellow Americans!

You forgot Castro. Armas para que!…..Once Castro took control he made this statement (Arms, for what?), he then took from the people that which was afforded him to overthrow the government. 50 years later he’s still in control.

goergekiefer,

No offense but actually you don’t get it. The Second Amendment is not “a right that has been given to us.” The right of self preservation contained within the Second Amendment is an inalienable God given right that no man can “give” or take from us, especially politicians!

I find it interesting you invoke the term “radical rednecks” when in fact it’s the dirtbag gang bangers that provide an ignorant population the perception they hold of all law abiding gun owners in this country.

We are up against decades of well orchestrated anti gun ownership propaganda in this country and there is very little we can do to change the opinions of many people that could care less about our Constitution as long as the government gives them free handouts. A rough road to hoe is before us like never before in the history of this country.

As was previously posted:

http://www.just-a-regular-guy.com/2009/02/03/do-americans-have-the-guts-to-defend-their-freedoms/

i will never give up my right to bear arms. never. the government work for us, not us for them. this is what happens when you don’t vote, or don’t vote right. i will not live under a dictator. how much blood shed did our ancestors give for our freedom? are we going to let this administration undo all of that? hell no

This is THE scariest thing I have heard, ever. This is crazy talk. Are our leaders begging for an uprising? A revolution?

DITTO!

Stand by to stand by …… the same thing happened in Illinois and now it is going to happen nation wide. Hold on tight to your 2nd ammendment rights. They are not gonna be around too long unless everyone stands up and says something. Has anyone else notice how this has not been in the news at all? Wonder why they are trying to sneak this thing through. How about some media coverage and a little public outrage/discussion.

I guess I need to go to the local gun store and stimulate the economy before they the democrats take another freedom away.

DONT TREAD ON ME

I’d like to live to see the day when legislators such as this one who introduce bill’s that thearten the founding principels of this country would be dragged out of the House of Representatives, Charged with Treason Agianst the People of the United States of American, and impresoned in a super MAX for the rest of their miserable lives.

the day we stop honoring the principels our founding fathers established in 1771, we stop being a free democracy……

There is no place, anywhere, for the idiocy and repugnant thinking and language used in some of these posts.

It only distracts from the real issue. We are so concerned with criminals rights that we want to impede the right of ordinary honest citizens to defend themselves. Creation of another great administrative bog to add to the mass of unproductive government will only make the criminals more free to conduct business. I do not believe there is such a thing as excessive vioolence in response to any kind of home invasion. Any criminal who enters my home should know that his (or her) life is at fisk.

Your rights are non-negotiable….period.

As most LEO will tell you, the problem is not armed law-abiding citizens, it’s violent, thug criminals. should this abomination pass and be signed into law, it will hurt and hinder the law abiding only. I do not support this or any other restriction of my God-given rights.

Encourage your Congressman and Senators to promote laws which exist now to put away violent criminals and keep them away. Also encourage local/ state government to stop the practice of plea-bargaining away gun charges (harder to prove in court, so easier to plea-bargain away) which allow criminals to face only other charges singly without gun related charges in court.

A citizen’s first best defense, is to remain armed against criminals.

Did any of you ever read the 10 Planks of the Communist Manifesto?
1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.

right on!!!

Wake up!!! It’s just another way to gain more control of our firearms. Plain and simple!!!

Laws like this are absolutely ridiculous. They only affect LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS. People who obtain guns illegally, will ALWAYS get them that way. More government BS.

Molon labe!

Your guns will be taken away whether you want them to or not. The government can not have total control if it’s citizens are armed.

It’s a common fact that the police don’t or can’t protect us, we have a legal right to self-protection. HR 45 is just the first step that allows the “government” to re-possess all firearms in the US. Can you say Australia?
