"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or native police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order throughout the occupied Russian territories, and a system of military strong-points must be evolved to cover the entire occupied country." --Adolf Hitler, April 11, 1942

The liberals have fired the first shot of the Obamination administration and declared war over the ownership of firearms. First, they want to know who owns firearms, and then say who can own them. One thing that everyone should know and must remember is the second amendment does not exist for the purpose of hunting and sports, but rather its intent is to prevent the government from infringing on our right to own firearms.

The founding father felt this was a critical because of the oppression they face from the British government. The right of citizens to Keep and Bear Arms is one deterrent to an oppressive government.

Here are the reasons for us to be concerned.

H.R. 45, Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009 if passed, the bill would make it illegal to own or possess a "qualifying firearm" – defined as any handgun or any semiautomatic firearm that takes an ammunition clip – without a "Blair Holt" license.

To obtain a "Blair Holt" license, an application must be made that includes a photo, address, all previous aliases, thumb print, completion of a written firearm safety test, release of mental health records to the attorney general and a fee not to exceed $25.

Additionally, it would give the Attorney General total say over gun ownership and the ability to ban guns at will.

The bill makes it illegal to transfer ownership of a qualifying firearm to anyone who is not a licensed gun dealer or collector. Exceptions to this rule include transfer to family members by gift or bequest and loans, not to exceed 30 days, of a firearm for lawful purposes "between persons who are personally known to each other."

The bill also requires qualifying firearm owners to report all transfers to the attorney general's database. It would also be illegal for a licensed gun owner to fail to record a gun loss or theft within 72 hours or fail to report a change of address within 60 days.
