Legislation (H.R. 45 "Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act,") sponsored by U.S. Representative Bobby Rush (D-Ill.), would mandate numerous gun control measures if passed.
The bill specifically calls for all handgun owners to submit to the federal government a formal application including: photo identification, finger-prints, medical and mental health records and a completed written fire-arm safety examine. Applicants would also be forced to pay a fee to the federal government.
The legislation also mandates that a database be established and kept by the attorney general of the United State so as to record every sale and transfer of a firearm.
Additionally, the bill would make it illegal for a licensed gun owner to fail to record a firearm loss or theft within 72 hours, or fail to report a change of address within 60 days. Further, if a minor obtains a firearm (even from stealing it) and injures someone with it, the owner of the firearm may face a multiple-year jail sentence.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation is vigorously opposing this leg-islation and is monitoring the bill closely. Please visit the NSSF Legisla-tive Action Center for updates on HR 45 and other firearm related legis-lation
just another way the government is trying to regulate us. |
