Subject: Wyoming.

Our Sheriff has already commented that we will NOT enforce any of these proposed laws!!!!

Please note that we have already discussed this as a Sheriff Office. None of our members will comply if this is passed as all are very pro gun here in Wyoming. Our Sheriff has already commented that we will NOT enforce any of these proposed laws, nor would we support any federal agency that attempts to do so.  Lastly, there is a lot of talk here in Wyoming concerning seceding from the Union, if the federal government is going to move towards a socialist, anti gun, anti hunting regime, that oppresses our constitutional rights.

Just beginning the definitions of change!  

HR 45, Blair Holt Licensing and Record Act

This is provided as information that should alarm most of you. The air has not yet stilled from the peaceful change of power in this country and already the Democrats have marshaled the anti-gun forces to license and fingerprint you into a National Database of gun owners. Note that there is no National Database of Convicted Felons and those who have lost their citizen's rights to gun ownership, but there will be one that seeks to make you either a dupe or a felon if this law is passed.

   I request and suggest that you contact your elected representatives to voice your opposition to this bill to abridge your Rights. Note that the original author of this bill is Rahm Emanuel.

Subject: Are you ready for this??

Are you ready for the House Bill titled 'HR 45, Blair Holt Licensing and Record Act of 2009'. It will make it illegal to own a firearm unless it is registered with the database in Washington D.C. As a gun owner you will have to be finger printed, you will be required to provide your DL#, SS#, you must maintain a valid address at all times, submit to mental and physical health records being put on file, you will also be required to file any address changes and any ownership changes even if a private sale. Each update will cost $25 and if you fail to comply you will lose your right to own firearms. This bill and its language mirror almost completely one defeated last year in the House of Representatives by soon to be Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. Will we the citizenry be as lucky this time?

Pass this on to everyone who believes in strict Constitutionalism and remember that laws only apply to those who obey them. Criminals by definition and nature do not abide by laws. New laws and restrictions only apply to the law abiding citizen and are not written with the criminal in mind. With guns, it is not about having laws on the books to prosecute individuals, it is about taking guns away from the people so that no one has them in the first place. One last item to note, when assuming power and creating a facist state, Hitler was a proponent of strong gun laws because a disarmed populace was much easier to control than an armed one. The kings of old also outlawed weapons of any kind in any region that they conquered to quell the ability of the citizens to uprise against them.

The Founding Fathers of this nation understood all of the above and because of this they included the second amendment in the constitution. In fact, they knew that at some point in every society's life span that the need for the population to arise came about. To this end they made the right to keep and bear arms against a tyrannical state an absolute right that could not be revoked. They did this because the first thing tyrants and despots do is to remove a population's right to defend themselves. When this is done, the tyrants have no problem with the destruction of society as we know it.

Send this on to all true patriots! Protect your Second Amendment!

The following is a summary of the bill as provided by the Congressional Research Service. If you read the whole bill, you'll find it will effectively preclude the ownership of ANY firearms by law-abiding people unless licensed by the Attorney General. How long do you think THAT would take??

FIREARMS REFRESHER COURSE

1. An armed man is a FREE man. An unarmed man is a subject (slave).

2. A gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone.

3. Colt: the original point and click interface.

4. Gun control is not about guns; it’s about control [by those who want power].

5. If guns are outlawed, can we use swords?

6. If guns cause crime, then pencils cause misspelled words.

7. Free men do not ask permission to bear arms.

8. If you don’t know your rights, you don’t have any.

9. Those who trade liberty for security have neither.

10. The United States Constitution (c)1791. All Rights Reserved.

11. What part of “shall not be infringed” do you not understand?

12. The Second Amendment is in place in case the politicians ignore the others.

13. 64,999,987 firearms owners killed no one yesterday.

14. Guns only have two enemies: rust and politicians.

15. Know guns, know peace, know safety. No guns, no peace, no safety.

16. You don’t shoot to kill; you shoot to stay alive.

17. 911: government-sponsored Dial-a-prayer.

18. Assault is a behavior, not a device.

19. Criminals love gun control; it makes their jobs safer and easier.

20. If guns cause crime, then matches cause arson.

21. Only a government that is afraid of its citizens tries to control them.

22. You have only the rights you are willing to fight for.

23. Enforce the gun control laws we ALREADY have; don’t make more.

24. When you remove the people’s right to bear arms, you create slaves.

25. The American Revolution would never have happened with gun control.

The Second Amendment does not grant Americans a Right. It provides that the Government should not attempt to take away a Right that belonged to them all along. Any Government that considers disarming Americans should remember, ”The shot heard around the world” was precipitated by the British trying to take arms away from the Americans.

IF YOU AGREE, SEND THIS “REFRESHER COURSE” TO OTHERS.
