Congressman Paul Broun's (R-GA) audio briefing on H.R. 45

Please take a few minutes to listen the short audio briefing Rep.
Paul Broun (R-GA) has recorded for you.

Unless you and I act now, H.R. 45, one of the most draconian gun
control bills ever introduced, will continue to gain steam in
Congress.

That's why it is so important that you take the short Gun Rights
Survey below.

And after you've completed the survey, please make an emergency
contribution of $50 or more to the National Association for Gun
Rights.

That bill was introduced over a year ago, before Obama was even
sworn in, and it was Bobby Rush who introduced it. It has no
co-sponsors and it's clearly a local politics initiative to deal
with the death of a kid on a bus in Chicago, which raised a local
uproar. It took over a year to even make it to committee. It may
never even come *out* of committee, and it surely will die if it
does.

OTOH, if you want to keep feeding the NAGR with your money, I'm
sure they'll periodically make a plea for funds to "fight" this
"onerous" bill. Or they'll write something that says they are. Or
something. Maybe.

Hasn't Rush been introducing this same bill at the beginning of
every session?

It sounds familiar, all right. I dunno.

At Blair Holt's funeral, Rep. Bobby Rush of Illinois (representing
the state's First Congressional district) promised to honor Holt's
memory by introducing a strong gun tracking bill in Congress. One
month later, Rep. Rush introduced Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and
Record of Sale Act to Congress, but it was referred to a
subcommittee and languished there without
ever having been voted upon. On 6 January 2009, Rush introduced
essentially
the same bill to Congress again as Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and
Record
of Sale Act of 2009 (H.R. 45).

Yeah, there you go. Three years, and still no co-sponsors.

The only thing this bill is going to do is to drum up donations for
the gun organizations. They'll drag it up whenever their coffers are
getting a little low.

Yep.
I remember all of the gun nutz wailing over this when Obama was elected.
My comment at the time that the chances of this passing were slim and none
with the emphasis on the latter.
