A New Bill

So, here we go again....
A new bill has been presented to Congress. It was first introduced after the newly elected Congress was placed in session back in February of 2007. This bill is under the name of HR1022. This bill was introduced by democrat Carolyn McCarthy and 67 other co-sponsors.

HR1022 is a bill that states the Attorney General, who is going to be Eric Holder, would have the right to add any gun to a list of banned guns. Now at first this bill seems harmless and somewhat good. It should be able to help prevent gun violence. However, continue reading this bill and you will see that it states “A semi-automatic rifle or shotgun originally designed for military or law enforcement use, or a firearm based on the design of such a firearm, that is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, as determined by the Attorney General will be banned." Therefore the future of your gun is in the stroke of a pen. 'Any gun that has been made or designed for military or law enforcement use is automatically banned' HELLO~! Tell me what gun was not made in design for military use? Every gun was made for this purpose~!! For example: your 45 pistol, shotgun, rifle, 9 milimeter...etc....say goodbye to them...they are now banned!

Now for some extras that people overlook but are so crucial: 1) President Obama has already stated that he will pass this bill hands down. 2) Eric Holder was the man that supported with all his heart the Washington DC Supreme Court gun ban. He believes that people do not have the right to own/operate any gun. He states that people have no right to have a working firearm in their home. 3) It is a known fact (to our government and the people) that Australia has recently had a gun control legislation. The results of this ban are shocking. The homicide rate has gone up by 3.2%. Assaults: up 8.6%. In the state of Victoria with homicides by firearms: up 300%. Why did this legislation backfire you may ask? The law abiding citizens turned in their firearms, but the criminals however did not. Sorry to say, but this will definitely be the same story of America if this bill passes.

Thank you....

Sincerely,
