I find it particularly repugnant that the title of the bill refers to Blair Holt. Blair Holt was a young man who was fatally shot while trying to defend some passengers on a bus from being shot by a 16 year old gang-banger. The fact that the shooter was a 16 year old gang member who could not possibly legally own a firearm does not stop Congressman Bobby Rush from using it to add an emotional aspect to the legislation. There are certainly no logical reasons for a bill like this to be passed. Perhaps if one of the passengers on the bus had been armed with a legal firearm the whole tragedy could have been averted.
A large part of the bill has to do with licensing and registration. The Federal government is always trying to add more paperwork to legal gun ownership. I am sure there will be fees involved with all this, making it another source of revenue for the government.

Never happen.
Doesn't matter if it does happen... the bill, should it be passed into law, would be immoral... it would stand at odds with the Second Amendment; wholly infringing upon the Right of the Individual to keep and bear arms...
For a law to be valid, it must serve justice... and that a faction finds itself in a majority; thus possesses the POWER to implement a law, in NO WAY establishes that the law is valid, simply by being processed by that factional majority.
Now this doesn't mean that this unjust law would not represent the law; or that they would not be capable of enforcing it through the police powers of the state... it simply means that the law is invalid in terms of it's means to usurp the right; thus the moral authority to disregard that law is established; and where the free sovereign does so, they will be forced to endure the slow, anguished process of righteous disobediance... wherein they will be charged, tried; likely convicted and forced to defend themselves from that charge and conviction until such time that reason returns to the process.
But this is the sort of anti-American policy the left notoriously advances when in power; thus it comes as no surprise... what's more, should they find themselves with sufficient power to implement this law, it will stand as the kindling for a catastrophic civil war, which nature requires to burn the infection from the culture.
Thus: Towards the end of striving for a peaceful, prosperous and free culture, I offer the following plea:
'please... don't do this... stop... '
Let the record reflect that we've made every effort to prevent them from destroying themselves...
