Gotta love those Illinois politicians! Representative Bobby L. Rush, who represents
the 1st district in Illinois, is a huge advocate for criminals, and
he’s not afraid to use his office to help them however he can.
Just days ago, he introduced H.R. 1133 that
will apparently make it cheaper for convicted criminals to make phone
calls.
But this isn’t his first Pro-Criminal
bill, only last month he introduced H.R.
45, which is known as ‘Blair Holt's Firearm
Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009’. This bill would amend the Brady Handgun
Violence Prevention Act, to require a license to possess a firearm.
This bill would also ban private gun sales, prohibit keeping
a loaded firearm or an unloaded firearm with the ammunition within access of a
child, “establish and maintain a firearm injury information clearinghouse”,
“conduct continuing studies and investigations of firearm-related deaths and
injuries”, “and collect and maintain current production and sales
figures of each licensed manufacturer.”
The most troubling aspect of this bill is
obviously the registration and licensing of gun owners. For those of you who live in Illinois, you
are already familiar with this. The Bill
of Rights is obsolete in Illinois, let’s not let it happen everywhere else as
well.
Call, write and email your elected
officials, and tell them to reject this unconstitutional bill. Bobby Rush’s buddy will sign this if it makes
it to his desk. Let’s stop it now,
before it can go any further.
