This firearms act is a dangerous one

Readers should look up "Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009" (H.R. 45) and see how our freedoms are slowly eroding.

I asked someone I know in Australia how they let the government confiscate their firearms. His answer was, "We didn't think they would do it."

I have had some success in e-mailing my friends and asking them to write their congressional representatives to defeat this bill or lose our votes.

Remember, Americans, apathy is the father of slavery. It is not a Republican or Democratic issue.
