Gun Rights under Fire

As the publisher of Urbansurvivalsecrets.com, I am concerned about the bill below:

By Mr. RUSH:

   H.R. 45. A bill to provide for the implementation of a system of licensing for purchasers of certain firearms and for a record of sale system for those firearms , and for other purposes; to the Committee on the Judiciary. (January 6, 2009)

At the outset, it sounds wonderful:  Control Semi-automatic firearms…  However, this resolution would erode the rights of all gun owners and continue to place all of us at peril in the time of a crisis.  The facts are always the same – let the camel get its nose in the tent and pretty soon, the camel will be all the way in and you are out.

If you are pro-gun rights – you may want to leave.  Truth be told, this kind of registration and what it is aimed at will not do anything to secure our country!  Criminals will continue to obtain firearms illegally.  That leaves those of us with guns to protect our rights – plain and simple.

I can already hear the babbling by the lefties – “Well, Europe doesn’t have an issue with guns….”  Lets get the facts strait.  Those in Europe who use guns in crime are using illegally obtained firearms – there is no way to track them.  Next:  Deaths are lower in Europe from Guns, but if you would open your eyes and take time to investigate fatalities by knifes and similar implements, you would see that it is proportionately higher than here in the US.  So, should Europe ban steak knives?  Should you be a registered knife user?

Also, if you look at the number of people who die in auto accidents/homicides versus gun shootings, there is more sobering evidence of going after the appropriate target (pun intended!)  More people die from automobile related causes than gun causes.  So lets get tougher on cars.  Yup they do have registration requirements.  But if someone steals my truck and runs over little billy, all they can do is trace the vehicle back to me and a theft report (hopefully!)

Friends, we are watching our rights erode in front of our eyes.  Take time are write to your legislator and let them know you will not allow this crap to happen.  Big Government has never been a solution!  We as urban survival folks need to have the tools we need for when all hell breaks loose.  Gun Control is not a solution to anything.

Carpe Diem
