Bobby Rush Kept Handgun and Communist Literature in Apartment

Congressman Bobby Rush introduced H.R.45, the Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009 on January 6, 2009. This bill, if signed into law would require all owners of hand guns and semiautomatic firearms to register for a federal firearms license. All sales of the subject firearms would have to go through a licensed dealer. The bill would also make it a criminal act not to register as an owner of a firearm.

On December 5, 1969 police raided the apartment of Black Panther leader Bobby Rush. They found a handgun, ammunition for various weapons, marijuana, an IED explosives manual, and communist literature including Che Guevara and Mao Tse-Tung (Mao Zedong). Bobby Rush served six months in prison for illegal possession of firearms.

It's so obvious the police are lying! Fred's body was found in his bed! The guy never had a chance! The gun shots illuminated the people's faces??? WTF??? And why don't the police have to take lie detector tests? I was only 4 yrs old when this happened and never looked into it myself. I'm so pissed this kind of murder by government just got swept under the rug in American history. I'm a white woman & can see our establishment is corrupt & evil. I'm pissed I never heard this story until now.

The police are the real criminals here. They're murderers. They're also oath breakers - all police take an oath to uphold the Constitution, including the right to bear arms, and yet they willingly enforce unconstitutional local laws. Why weren't Panthers allowed to defend themselves? What makes the police any better than the Panthers? This killing was in Hampton's home! Why should police get away with breaking down someone's door with guns drawn???

u also fail to remember that Rush BEAT OBAMA for congress only a decade ago. Then turned around and ENDORSED him. So he's not just some GANGBANGING BLACK PANTHER. Chicago knows this. He has done more for this city than you ever could. You just don't CONSIDER his work REAL WORK because you believe that you are MORE AMERICAN that ALL of the "NIGGERS" that Rush has helped. (!) This is because you have NO RESPECT to the civil rights movement or HOW BLACK AMERICANS went from slaves to the white house

[kungblao]

keep ur comments ON TOPIC.u fail to realize that ck cnty has a HIGHER crime rate than YOUR county and if EVERYBODY is runnin round with guns, then EVERYBODY gets the SAME sentencing if they get caught. GANGBANGING IS REAL! It has taken more LIVES than DRUGS. So ur saying if a gangbanger w no priors gets caught w a unreg. gun, he shouldnt get off? Or a guy w 2 kids w an unreg gun in his home should get what a gangbanger would get? This is cook county. It aint that simple. U just don't get it.
