Heard this at work on the radio taday, this is foisting Illinios-Type "Reasonable" Gun Control on the Nation. I did not hear ALL, what I heard is

VERY DISTURBING

TO ALL: Check it out and tell your CongressCritters NO in no uncertain terms, they are throwing down the gauntlet



What I did hear is you will submit to these Regulations, and there is a boatload, Thumbprint, Photo, Passport Type, Mental Records ?!?!?!?!?! WTF..........and a fee for each currently possessed firearm and registration of serial #'s into the AG of the U.S.'s "Central Data Base", and you must also jump through these hoops EACH TIME you want to buy a firearm in the future and, of course, No Private Sales anymore.



It is named for some "Victim" in Chicago. Can't recall it now, but LOOK IT UP NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
