Vitriol Espresso "I come in peace. I didn't bring artillery. But I'm pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I'll kill you all." General James Mattis

We knew this was coming. If you want a firearm, you had better get it now before the law changes. From Nurse With a Gun comes our warning about House Resolution 45. Click the links to get more information. Here's the excerpt that NWAG gives:

It shall be unlawful for any person other than a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector to possess a qualifying firearm on or after the applicable date, unless that person has been issued a firearm license--

‘(A) under title I of Blair Holt’s Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009, which license has not been invalidated or revoked under that title; or
‘(B) pursuant to a State firearm licensing and record of sale system certified under section 602 of Blair Holt’s Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009, which license has not been invalidated or revoked under State law.

‘(36) The term ‘qualifying firearm’--
‘(A) means--
‘(i) any handgun; or
‘(ii) any semiautomatic firearm that can accept any detachable ammunition feeding device; and
‘(B) does not include any antique.’.

So basically every five years you have to 'apply' to own a gun that you already own even if you don't use it for anything but keeping your family alive. It's the gun control bill we were waiting for, complete with enough vague statements to make it illegal to own anything even resembling a gun given the right justice.

Call or email your congresspeople about this and get it canned NOW.
