We all need to talk to our leadership and voice our displeasure over this. We all need to band together and stand up for our rights!

Stephen, I agree we need to keep a watchful eye on this issue at all times.

Just that in this specific case, this bill is a dead end.

H.R. 45 was not included in the stimulus bill. Just a rumor people.

Guys, HR45 was included in the stimulus bill and was signed into law Tuesday by the Obamanation. I suspect it’ll take a while to implement.

Chris,

You follow this particular issue much closer than I do so I’ll consider this a relief. I was alerted to H.R. 45 listening to a local talk show host who seemed very concerned that such a bill could pass. From there I decided to look the bill up and see if it was as bad as he said.

Perhaps he was being alarmist but I do think that any legislation threatening our individual rights should be taken seriously.

Quincy I agree. “outright repeal of the Second Amendment” might be a little hyperbole on my part. The gun grabbers will continue to claim that the Second Amendment is a collective right rather than an individual right. Even in today’s anti-freedom climate, the idea of actually repealing the Second Amendment would be a non-starter. I suppose in a few decades or so such an effort could be successful though.

Stephen –

If it’s like the de facto repeals of the 1st, 4th, 9th, and 10th Amendments, the words will remain in the Constitution while the meaning is destroyed.

[It] wont even be brought forward to committee.

I hope you right.

It has no co-sponsors and wont even be brought forward to committee.

One or another democrat introduce the same bill in every congress.

Not to say nasty gun control attempts with a serious chance of passing aren’t going to be floated shortly.
