Registration leads to confiscation. We all know that, and that is why GOA has vehemently opposed all attempts by government forces to compile or retain information pertaining to lawful firearms purchases.
But in the name of fighting terrorism, the United States Congress is getting ready to trample on the rights of law-abiding Americans, no matter what the Constitution (and current law) happens to say.
The House will be voting as early as this Friday (TODAY) on the PATRIOT Act reauthorization bill (H.R. 3199). Congressmen have been ironing out differences in the House and Senate versions of the bill for quite some time, as GOA -- along with other interested organizations -- has watched carefully to see what the House-Senate conferees would produce.
Well, the product stinks.
GOA alerted you in June to the potential dangers in this legislation. Unfortunately, the problems have remained in the bill, and it poses a very dangerous threat to gun owners.
This LATEST version of this bill has yet to be posted on Thomas (the legislative website for Congress) and, most likely, legislators won't even have this language in front of them before they vote on it. As has happened quite often, they MIGHT get a copy of the bill right before they vote, but they will certainly not have time to read it.
That's why it's so important that you contact your Representative and tell him that gun owners are VERY concerned with this legislation.
Capitol Hill sources have told GOA there is a provision in this bill (amending Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act) which would allow the FBI to get a secret court order to seize ANY business records it believes would be relevant to an anti-terrorism investigation... without having to make the case that the gun records they're confiscating have any connection to a suspected terrorist.
Hence, in the name of fighting terrorism, the FBI will be given a license for unbridled fishing expeditions.
Gun sales are business transactions, and FFL holders must retain copies of the 4473 forms (yellow sheets) filled out on every gun sale. Thus, an anti-gun administration could easily determine that such records would be useful in the fight against terrorism, and demand them all.
But that's not all. More than just your gun purchase records are at stake. Financial and medical records, library records and much more will now be open to FBI fishing expeditions. They won't have to get any prior court approval.
If we do not UNITE into a LARGE COHESIVE Group, with singleness of purpose, ours and our childrens' Freedom, (what's left of it), will be GONE! They are the ones who GAVE nuclear technology to China. They are the ones turning their heads as MILLIONS cross our borders illegally. They are the ones who have sent almost ALL manufacturing jobs overseas. THEY ARE SELLING US OUT! They know there is discontent. So they MUST grab our guns, so that there will be no RETALIATION for their EVIL! They have already excersized control, of arms, over the largest population centers of the U.S.! And there is no evidence that they intend on stopping anytime soon. We are at a very dangerous & deadly precipice.
Their goal is to assume COMPLETE CONTROL!
'They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.' - Jeremiah 12:10-12
Have we learned NOTHING from the last one hundred years? THE MOST MUDEROUS CENTURY IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND! Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, etc.? ALL STARTED WITH GUN CONFISCATIONS!
IT MUST STOP NOW! Before the momentum is to strong to stop!
