H.R. 45 in Stimulus Bill?
 

As I understood him, Representative Itse (N.H.) said on Glenn Beck tonight that HR 45 was rolled into the stimulus package. I can't believe this is true but it is a MASSIVE bill.

H.R. 45 is of course the Blair/Holt gun law that recently surfaced.

Apologies in advance if there is no truth to this but I saw the interview myself.

You've got me scared - I hope you heard wrong!

Re: H.R. 45 in Stimulus Bill?
 

There is a 5 page thread over on ARFCOM General Discussion section. The concensus seems to be Rep Itse did say it and it is not in the bill. I downloaded and searched the latest version of the bill, could not find any language (firearm, AR-15, etc) using the search function.

Re: H.R. 45 in Stimulus Bill?
 

I read that the final bill was over a thousand pages long, some of it written by hand.

If it IS in there, we will find out soon.

he did say some thing about a gun bill an that was it

Re: H.R. 45 in Stimulus Bill?
 

With the Dems in full power now, this shit is going to be happening on a weekly basis. Before you know it, everything they have wanted to ban, or bill to pass, they will have done during this short period of time. I just posted a thread on how California wants to ban lead bullets, in the General Discussion area.

From CCRKBA:

Dem's Use "Stimulus" as Cover for More Gun Control

Dear Concerned Citizen,

The liberals are at it again. In a new bill introduced the first day of the present session of Congress, and with zero coverage from the MSM, H.R. 45 (Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009) targets all gun owners in the U.S.A. While the media the world and everyone else is focused on the "phony plan" to spend tax dollars legislation is sneeking through the House and Senate for more gun control.

This nefarious bill seeks to strip us all of our Constitutional Rights to possess and bear firearms of any distinction. It requires, within the first two years, that all new guns be registered. The bill goes retroactive after two years. Meaning that two years after the passage of the bill, ALL FIREARMS in a citizen's possession must be registered, not just those purchased after the bill passes, and this apparently applies to antique firearms as well.

Re: H.R. 45 in Stimulus Bill?
 

Because nobody has fully read the bill.

Re: H.R. 45 in Stimulus Bill?
 

I wouldn't count on the NRA to oppose this, given their history.

Rumors and the Economic Stimulus Bill

Friday, February 13, 2009

We have been hearing many rumors, and receiving many inquiries, about "buried" provisions in the federal economic stimulus bill that would negatively affect our Second Amendment rights. People have claimed the bill would designate interstate highways as national parks, or impose ammunition encoding and new ammunition taxes. Fortunately, and contrary to what you may have heard, there are no provisions in this bill prohibiting firearms or ammunition anywhere, or for anyone.

The only reference in the bill to firearms is a provision authorizing funds for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' (BATFE) "Project Gunrunner," which is a program that enforces existing laws to reduce smuggling of firearms from the United States to Mexico. This program imposes no new restrictions on gun owners, and if it did, we can assure you we would take swift action.

Needless to say, NRA, as a single-issue organization, takes no position on the economic stimulus legislation as a whole.
