Last Action: Feb 9, 2009: Referred to the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security.
Mar 10, 2009 11:59 AM - Wouldn't this bill violate the the Firearms Owners' Protection Act of 1986 ? -
Answered by a visitor on Mar 11, 2009 6:39 PM - HR 45 will completely nullify the Firearms Owner's Protection Act of 1986. This is gun registration, which it a precursor to confiscation.

For those of us that can't figure out how to navigate to these bills, here's the text that's applicable to FOPA1986, specifically, from the proposed bill HR45, Section 202 (c): Elimination of Prohibition on Establishment of System of Registration- Section 926(a) of title 18, United States Code, is amended by striking the second sentence.
The second sentence of 926(a) title 18 that would be struck from law reads: No such rule or regulation prescribed after the date of the enactment of the Firearms Owners? Protection Act may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or dispositions be established.
Blasting that sentence away opens the door to whatever silly registration schemes that can be imagined. Thankfully this is still stuck in committee.
Guten Tag mein Herr. Papiere jetzt! <sarcasm, kind of>

Perhaps these are worth noting as a glimmer of light on a gloomy day:

I just received an email that linked snopes.com to H.R.45 section 202. By appearances the bill is still on a active roll. Does anybody know the current status of the bill?

armed and humorous:
It appears the last action on HR45 was when it was referred to the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security on Feb. 9th. I can find no record since that time of their ever having discussed HR45. If party affiliation means anything, the committee chairman is a Democrat, and there are 9 more democrats than republicans. They apparently don't publish the upcoming schedule as of yet so don't know if, or when it will come up for discussion.

We have to be prepared for anything.
DJPeter:
"Senate Bill SB-2099 will require us to put on our 2009 1040 federal tax form all guns that you have or own. It may require fingerprints and a tax of $50 per gun."
The reason for my concern is the comment above that was forwarded to me. Is there a new bill called SB-2099?
