1- First 2009 Gun-Ban Bill Introduced
The lamestream media told you:
Nothing.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
The excellent Firearms Coalition covered this before anyone: "Representative Bobby Rush (D-IL) filed a comprehensive anti-gun wish-list bill (HR 45) in the 111th Congress on its first day in session. No sooner were the new members of Congress sworn in than Mr. Rush, a former Black Panther leader, filed the bill. It has no cosponsors yet and was automatically referred to the House Judiciary Committee.
"If passed, it would require anyone wishing to purchase, own, or possess a 'qualifying firearm' -- that's any handgun, and any long gun that takes a detachable magazine -- would have to be licensed by the state or the federal government in a licensing program managed by the Attorney General.
"To get a license you would have to prove you're you, provide a passport-style photo, a thumbprint, and take a written exam which includes questions about firearms safety, safe storage, the risks of firearms ownership, and anything else the Attorney General deems appropriate. All transfers would be required to go through a licensed dealer with the exception of occasional gifts or bequests between parents, children over 18, and grandparents, or loans of not more than 30 days between 'persons who are personally known to one another.' All transfers would have to be recorded in a new 'Transfer Record' established and maintained by the Attorney General."
That would be a national gun registry. Read the rest here http://tinyurl.com/96whw8, and let me encourage you to support this fine group.

Isn't surprising this was filed by an Illinois democrat, we in IL have been blessed by the FOID program for quite some time now. This sounds like a similar plan only on a federal level. Perhaps our congressmen should look to IL for an example of how this sort of system doesn't serve the people. The current backlog of issued FOID cards in IL is a nice place to start. I personally had to wait two and a half months for my renewal, and only recieved it after calling the State Police firearm branch (was on hold for a good half hour) and complaining (politely).
I might ad that the law here states that IL residents who qualify for a firearm owner ID should be made to wait no longer than 30 days to recieve their card, or something to that effect.
Leave it to our fine elected public servants to bungle anything they touch.
By the way, if any of you are IL residents and are having the same problem, the number to call is 217-782-7980. Just be patient and polite. It worked for me.Posted 01-20-2009 at 01:32 PM by tclu1308
