Steve Kagen, Wisconsin, Taking Away Your Gun Rights



Gun Owners of the 8th district of Wisconsin. This is for all gun owners.

Did Steve Kagen tell you he now wants to take away your gun owning rights. Seems like this bill HR 45 might have been buried into the stimulus bill. Since no one read the bill, now we have to wait to see all the surprises the left stuck in. Steve Kagen voted for the pork bill and he is now responsible for the outcome. The first step is to take away your rights by licensing with photo and finger prints. Where is the outrage?

Where is the MSM on this?

Here is the bill and some information from Say Uncle.
"H.R. 45:
111st Congress

This is a bill in the U.S. Congress originating in the House of Representatives ("H.R."). A bill must be passed by both the House and Senate and then be signed by the President before it becomes law.

Bill numbers restart from 1 every two years. Each two-year cycle is called a session of Congress. This bill was created in the 111st Congress, in 2009-2010.

The titles of bills are written by the bill's sponsor and are a part of the legislation itself. GovTrack does not editorialize bill summaries.
2009-2010

Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009" H.R. 45: Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009 (GovTrack.us)

Details from "Say Uncle"
"HR 45
Posted by: SayUncle

The bill looks particularly nasty. Some bits:

1. Require licensing for anybody that owns a gun.

2. Would require photographs and a thumbprint

3. Would require passage of a test that covers:

(A) the safe storage of firearms, particularly in the vicinity of persons who have not attained 18 years of age;

(B) the safe handling of firearms;

(C) the use of firearms in the home and the risks associated with such use;

(D) the legal responsibilities of firearms owners, including Federal, State, and local laws relating to requirements for the possession and storage of firearms, and relating to reporting requirements with respect to firearms; and

(E) any other subjects, as the Attorney General determines to be appropriate;

Sebastian highlights some other gems in this bill:

mandates licensing, registration and safe storage for handguns and semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines. It also provides for inspection, so you surrender your fourth amendment rights by being licensed. It also requires reporting of Lost and Stolen firearms, and you must inform the federal government if you change addresses."
