Expressing the Sense of the Congress that the Federal Government should not create a national database tracking firearm owners or firearm purchases. (Introduced in House)
HCON 71 IH
111th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. CON. RES. 71 Expressing the Sense of the Congress that the Federal Government should not create a national database tracking firearm owners or firearm purchases.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
March 12, 2009 Mr. REHBERG submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Expressing the Sense of the Congress that the Federal Government should not create a national database tracking firearm owners or firearm purchases.
Whereas the constitutional right to keep and bear arms conferred by the Second Amendment is essential to the defense of our Nation, the maintenance of liberty, and the suppression of tyranny;
Whereas the Supreme Court ruled, in District of Columbia v. Heller, that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm for traditionally lawful purposes such as self-defense and the defense of others;
Whereas infringement of the right to keep and bear arms would place individual citizens and the Nation as a whole at the mercy of threats both foreign and domestic;
Whereas George Washington, America's original commander-in-chief and President of the United States, stated `Firearms stand next in importance to the constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence . . . the very atmosphere of firearms anywhere restrains evil interference--they deserve a place of honor with all that's good.'; and
Whereas law-abiding citizens have a constitutional right to keep and bear arms free from harassment and intimidation: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the Federal Government should not create a national database for the purpose of tracking firearm owners or firearm purchases, as affirmed by section 926(a) of title 18, United States Code, as enacted by the Congress in Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986.
US acts like banana republic. After spending nearly all of his first 100 days in office apologizing for being American and the perceived ills America has done to the world, President B. Hussein Obama gets a lesson in tin pot dictatorship from Ortega and Chavez.
Upon returning from the world apology tour, wherein he groveled and whined and generally behaved like an emasculated child raised by a single mother, with empty hands, empty pockets (as the worlds bullies took his lunch money on the worlds playground) and a brand new plan, President Obama set out to show what he had learned. Winning an election is not good enough. You must then embarrass, humiliate and possibly imprison your competition. Welcome to Barack’s Banana Republic, aka America.
The Constitution is slipping through Americans fingers like the mercurial republic it creates. We cannot let this President drag a former president through the mud, for actions taken to protect America after attacks on our soil. Particularly when the former President and his legal team based his decisions and actions upon a definition of torture created by the Democrat controlled congress of 1994.
Logic dictates that if you use a definition of torture, that comes from the legislative body of the United States of America, then they are the ones you seek to punish, not the person who used that definition to protect America. Of course, logic does not seem to apply to the Obama presidency.
President Obama cannot stand up to the bullies of the world due to his embarrassment at being American, his guilt of being privileged and his weakness of character and heart as demonstrated by his voting present so many times as a Senator and the giving up of America’s lunch money to anyone who asks for it. But, he can stand up to a former President who no longer has authority, after stating he won’t. Why, because the radical left of his party demand it due to Bush Derangement Syndrome. B. Hussein Obama cannot stand up to anyone. It is a sad day for him, although I am sure he is used to it by now, and a sad day for America
That piece of red, white and blue cloth stands for a system and a country that does not honor it's own word...If it stood for honor and truth, it would remember our treaties and give them the appropriate place under international law. But it doesn't. It dishonors its own word and violates its treaties...In Honor of Tony Black Feather (Died August 11 2004)
