President Smith Warns of Dangerous Gun Control Bill - Members Advised To Take Notice and Action

This information was sent to me by a customer who is a hunting videographer in California. The actual text of the bill can be seen at http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h45/text

It was presented by Representative Bobby Rush, who is a democrat from Illinois. I've read most of this bill and it is for real. It calls for federal licensing of all gun owners including photo and finger print, no transfer of firearms between private parties (not even long guns), reporting of ALL firearm transfers (including manufacturer, model and serial number) to the federal government, required secure storage (locked up) of any loaded or unloaded firearms with ammo in a building where there may be any person under 18 years of age, and fines and imprisonment for anyone not complying with the law.

One interesting point I read near the end of the bill is a section that essentially reads this bill will not stop States from enacting firearm regulation laws at the State level so long as they do not create "inconsistency" with this law. This bill applies to all firearms including "qualifying firearms". As defined in the bill a "qualifying firearm" is any handgun and any long gun that is semi-automatic and accepts a detachable magazine.

Please let your U.S. Senators and Members of Congress know of your strong opposition to this proposed legislation.
