Firearm Control H.R. 45

This bill also called the "Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009" is sponsored by Democratic Rep from Chicago Bobby Rush. Founding member of the Black Panthers in Chicago and ex-con who served time for illegal weapons possesion. This is just typical of the people we have supposedly representing us in congress and the senate.

The bill which reads, "To provide for the implementation of a system of licensing for purchasers of certain firearms and for a record of sale system for those fireaqrms, and for other purposes." The last part should put fear into every American who believes in what the constitution gives to us.

The first ten ammendments to The Constitution are the "Bill of Rights", a given right can not be controlled nor taxed nor licensed. The Bill of Rights were adopted on June 15, 1790.

Amendment II: A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bearearms shall not be infringed.

This was felt by the founding fathers to be such an important right of the people that they placed in the number 2 slot, following only, freedom of religion, freedom ofspeech or press and freedom to assemble.

Any attempt to prevent law abiding Americans from owning a firearm and ammunition or attempting to charge a licensing fee for such appears to me to be an infringment on the right.

On another note. Hy-bred automobiles. The current administration tells us that we want cars which will only carry 2 to 4 passengers and give us 50 miles to the gallon. I want a vehicle that will take me, my two sons and 8 grandsons hunting and still 30 mpg. I want my family to be able to travel in two or three vehicles to the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone Park and Mount Rushmor. when we lived in California a friend had a new Prius and wanted to take his family and a couple of friends to a game at Dodger Stadium. He got 35 mpg and only had to make 3 round trips to get everyone there and 3 more round trips to get them home. Another friend took his family of 7 and three friends in the Expedtion in one round trip. However. they only got 12 mpg on a round trip of 70 miles. The Prius driver used 12 gallons to get everyone home, 6 round trips, while Evil Expedition family used 6.

The batteries on these cars do not last forever and have we planned on how to deal with worn out giant batteries more toxic than any others. There is a great potential for a toxic waste disaster much like a nuclear waste disaster. Every state should charge a $5,000.00 Hy-bred battery disposal fee when any hybreds are sold in their state to be used to develop safe storage facilities.
