Gun Registration

Currently in the house there is a bill, H.R.45. Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009, which if it becomese law would require every gun owner it the USA to register all their firearms, and would allow the government to deny you the right to purchase a firearm without due process.

History has shown that registration of firearms leads to gun confiscation, both in the USA and abroad. It's happened again in Canada where the CBC News has reported that Toronto police have seized almost 400 firearms from registered owners in a six-month push aimed at reducing the number of guns on the city's streets.

Most of the confiscations were due to paperwork errors, or guns not stored in a manor that suited the government. Guns kept in residents homes where they were readily available for self defense were confiscated.

When a gun hater tells you they just want to be able to track guns used in crime, or that registration won't lead to confiscation, you know that they are either a liar, ignorant or both.

Lucky for us the current house bill has zero co-sponsors and will probably not get out of committee, but as citizens if we care about our liberty and freedom we must follow the words of Thomas Jefferson and "be ever vigilant".
