Gun Grabber Alert March 2009

They are trying to sneak universal gun registration in under the radar.
While you were distracted by the economic stimulus talk, they ran a gun control bill through the back door.
HR 45: "Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act", seeks to require licensing and registration of ALL HANDGUNS.

Get involved or watch while they set the stage for confiscation. This is how they did it in Britain and Australia. Follow this link to read more:

And if that is not enough, Mexico is blaming their drug cartel wars on your right to own semi-automatic rifles (so-called assualt weapons) here in the US. They claim that their gangsters (many ex-military) get their guns from the US. Yet they refuse to provide serial numbers of the guns they claim to have confiscated. So who knows if they bought the guns from US dealers, China, or their own military officials?

US Attorney General Eric Holder is using this as an excuse to re-enact the so-called "assault weapons ban" that did nothing before except raise the price of rifles and magazines. But guns cause drug gangs to kill, right?

If you want to keep your right of self-defense, you must be politically active. Politicians pay attention to active voters in large numbers. If you do nothing, the gun control people win. But this includes "reminding" the NRA and other pro-gun organizations that registration is a non-negotiable item. It appears that gun-grabbers have become sophisticated enough to make an outrageous proposal, then "compromise" with gun rights advocates to get what they really wanted all along. Don't let this happen.

Get involved or get the blame for others' crimes. Follow this link to help:
