Molon Labe!

Who is Bobby Rush? He's a congressman from the Chicago area. He's black. He was a founding member of the Black Panthers. Remember them? They were black revolutionaries of the late '60s, sort of our home-grown version of terrorists. He was convicted as a result of his activities for federal firearms violations. Isn't he an unlikely legislator for this?

Who was Blair Holt you ask? It's in the text of the bill. He was a high school student in Chicago who got offed by a gang-banger on a city bus.

Now any logical person would ask if the proposed draconian national registration system with its bloated bureaucracy would have saved young Blair. Can you own a handgun in Chicago? Nope. Is Chicago policed? Is it illegal to carry a concealed weapon in Chicago? Is it legal to shoot someone in the People's Republic of Illinois?

So, Rush wants a law to effectively create a national firearms control agency which will tax gun owners, track our firearms, dismantle the Second Amendment and have absolutely no impact in situations such as the crime cited as justification for the law.

Only in America. But, hopefully not for long.
