I see. This was done at some other point in history in another country, wasn't it? This is becoming all-too-obvious now. Something is going to happen in the not-too-distant future, and it doesn't look good. Who has the authority to strike down the 2nd sentence of 18 USC 926(a), Seeker? How could a provision as important as this be voided so easily? The courts can't write, or delete laws. So, I would imagine the House would start the ball rolling on this one. We must remain vigilant.

Well, all i can say SeekerNLife is that our enumerated Rights don't require permission to exercise them. Otherwise, they would be called "privileges". The 2nd Amendment doesn't say "..the PRIvILEGE to keep & bear arms". It says, "..the RIGHT to keep & bear arms.
In light of the recent SCOTUS decision (D.C. v. Heller) - that in no uncertain terms declares that this RIGHT is an INDIVIDUAL, not a collective, one - then the Congress is prohibited from criminalizing it. At least, that's my take.

"I'd say our government has just about completely abandoned the Constitution."
P3rf3ctStorm,
I agree!
The incidious thing about HR-45, is that it carefully avoids using the word "Ban".
Instead, it creates a new law which requires all current & future gun owners to submitt an application [w/ fingerprints, picture, personal info.] to the AG for this New Federal License.
And it makes it punishable by 2 to 5 yrs. in Jail, to own a gun of any sort without one of these New Licences.

"Since the 2nd Amendment is an INALIENABLE RIGHT, how could they LEGALLY abrogate this via the Legislature? Fact is, they CAN'T."
terrafirma91,
Here's how they will do it....
HR-45 contains an innocent-looking line that says "strike the second sentence of 18 USC 926(a)".
Thats the line that says the federal government cannot make a central registry of gun owners!

I'd definitely be interested to hear whether this is just a simple "rule" or an actual "law" (statute). Please let us know if you find out Dave. Thx for the report.

This will all be a mute point, if HR-45 is passed.
Filed on day one of this 111th Cong., by Bobby Rush [D-IL], HR-45 will effectively KILL the 2nd Amdmt.
Cloaked as a bill to crack down on 'gun trafficking', HR-45 will affect all types of firearms, & every current owner.
Every gun owner will have to apply to Atty Gen Eric Holder for a New Federal License, to be able to keep the guns they already have!
And the Applications will give them a List of whose homes to search, if "License Denied".

"I will not tell somebody they cannot to something which they are legally entitled to do."
A direct answer. I can respect that.
I'm sure Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) -- both fervent and extremist gun grabbers -- will be advocating heavily for HR-45's passage. Where did Congress ever get this notion that they can illegally change the Constitution and SCOTUS interpretations of it, by Acts of Congress rather than doing it legally by the Constitutional Amendment process? I'd say our government has just about completely abandoned the Constitution.
Looks like we all may just have to rise up...

The implications of this are mind boggling. Did we ever think we'd see this happen in America? We're being set-up for something sinister down the road, no doubt. Since the 2nd Amendment is an INALIENABLE RIGHT, how could they LEGALLY abrogate this via the Legislature? Fact is, they CAN'T. Only if the public displays apathy will the gun-grabbers have their heyday.
