Get ready for more of this anti-gun crap

This is probably not going to amount to anything - but, who knows. There is a bill pending in the House, HR 45. Among some provisions of this wet-dream of the anti-gunners:

• Require licensing for anybody that owns a gun.
  
  
• Would require photographs and a thumbprint
  
  
• Would require you to give an authorization to release to the Attorney General any mental health records pertaining to the applicant. (Can you say Big Brother?)
  
  
• Makes it so all renewals go through the AG of the USA. No more local sheriff's office. (Oh good, ANOTHER Federal agency...think IRS)
  
  
• Would require passage of a test that covers:
  
  ----- The safe storage of firearms, particularly in the vicinity of persons who have not attained 18 years of age;
  
  ----- The safe handling of firearms;
  
  ----- The use of firearms in the home and the risks associated with such use;
  
  ----- 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
  

The licensing is very toxic. It is the first, necessary, step to any future gun confiscation. Before you think I am being either paranoid or conspiratorial - gun confiscation happened in Australia just recently. So, it CAN happen here.

Access to ANY mental health records? Current laws saw you can't own a gun if you have ever been put in a mental facility by court order. With this new law, if you have ever seen a 'therapist' - you could be excluded. And the decision would be by some Washington pencil-neck.

And having to renew 'permission' to continue owning a gun? You have to deal with the Federal Government? One of the reasons we own guns is to keep the federal government in check.

That Attorney General enforcing this will be the rabidly anti-gun Eric Holder. Like I said, one would hope the Dems remember that this is still a pro-gun country. But, we can't count on it. These guys are back in full control now. They are likely to continue to pander to every one of their kook fringe supporters.

Is that the sound of the civilian militia Locking and Loading? If not, it soon could be.
