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.
…
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)].
I am not a gun owner, indeed guns tend to spark a bit of unease in my psyche. Nonetheless, the right to bear arms of American citizens is a right explicit in the US Constitution. The reason for the right dates back all the way to the American Revolutionary War when one of the agendas of the British was to disarm rebelling American colonists. The Founding Fathers had a mistrust of government being the sole arbiter of weaponry among its citizens. The Founding Fathers knew the American experiment of a Federal Republic would only be as good as those that governed. Sometimes to address corruption is the same option the Founding Fathers had to make. If that choice becomes the last and final option, the ability to bear arms becomes paramount.
It does not sound nice, it definitely is not politically correct and I hope the American Republican never fails; however a corrupt government must not be allowed to be all powerful.
