“Pork” Bailout Bill Could Ban Guns for Millions of Americans
2/11/2009
The Obama administration is putting a lot of pressure on Congress to slam through the most recent $800+ billion bailout package before anyone has an opportunity to read it.
The Obama administration intones that the details are unimportant. The only thing that matters is the “bigness.” And, by shipping a bill of nearly $900 billion (plus interest) to our children and grandchildren, the package is really, really big — bigger, in fact, than the budget of our entire government for the first 170 years of our country’s existence.
But now that some of the details are finally starting to leak out of Washington, Gun Owners — and a lot of other analysts — are beginning to look at the fine print. And some of it is particularly scary.
Of particular concern to gun owners are sections 13101 through 13434 of HR 1, which would set up the infrastructure to computerize the medical records of ALL AMERICANS in a government-coordinated database.
