Now one would think after all the outrage over the NSA sifting phone call data looking for terrorists there would be equal or greater outrage over this. Read the whole thing at the enclosed link at the bottom. This is a fishing expedition into the private records of everyone.

House Moves McCarthy Bill To Give FBI Access To Billions Of Your Personal Records -- In Order To Seize Your Guns

Thursday, June 1, 2006

There she goes again!

Anti-gun zealot Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) has launched her most recent effort to use Orwellian Big Government in order to seize your guns. In fact, her anti-gun bill was recently reported out of a House subcommittee.

But when you look at the list of cosponsors on this bill, you find a "Who's Who" of the anti-gun Democratic elite: Reps. Howard Berman (D-CA), John Conyers (D-MI), Diana DeGette (D-CO), Barney Frank (D-MA), Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), and Pete Stark (D-CA) among others. They are all F-rated Representatives.

HR 1415 -- the McCarthy bill -- would require states to "make electronically available to the Attorney General records relevant to a determination of whether a person is disqualified from possessing or receiving a firearm under [federal law" [Section 102(c)(1)(A)].

Among other things, the bill will help FBI officials to effectively stop thousands upon thousands of Americans from purchasing a firearm. Already, millions of Americans have been disarmed by the Lautenberg Gun Ban which President Bill Clinton signed in 1996.

Because of the Lautenberg ban, people who have committed very minor offenses that include pushing, shoving or, in some cases, even yelling at a family member have discovered that they can no longer own a firearm for self-defense.

Well, if the Second and Tenth Amendments were to be obeyed, the Federal government would be prohibited from passing laws that allow the FBI to search through the records.

Please note the party affiliation of the bill’s sponsors and also note these same folks were up to the same things during the previous version of government.
