H.R.45 - Blair Holt's Gun Control

[ND4SPD]

Ready for more red tape and gun control? HR45 is being warmed up.

The bill establishes required national licenses for firearm ownership, transfers, etc... (gee, like I guess those won't be forged by any criminal elements). And WTF!? Why does the AG need to know where I live at all times when I haven't been convicted of a crime?

Why do they feel the need to punish law abiding citizens

Why do they feel the need to punish law abiding citizens

I think its because for the most part we follow there lead
like Lemmings, criminals dont listen.

Bad example I should'nt bring back up:
Milw County:"Hey Russ you want a new stadium?"
Me: "No thanks Im good, just more overhead to cover"
Then they do it anyway and I dont throw stones.

WI State: "Hey we are gonna jam a huge increse up yours
for auto registration ok?"
Us: Uhhhh...no thats it will be blown on crooked employees and the roads will still suck.
They do it and we dont revolt.

Big brother: "Hey we want to take away or at least highly
modify the second amendment ok?"
Us: "Uh..no we had some cool founding fathers who made
the rules and I like em"
Well we know where thats heading regardless, 2nd amendment.


You could go on and on but we're so complacent we just sit there like a kid stoned on weed nodding our head and not shooting back and screaming we wont take it any more...like criminals would do!
