Impacts Of HR 45 Part 4 Of 7

After realizing that commenting on each section of HR 45 would continue for much longer than I want to spend on the subject, I’ve decided to condense and summarize the remainder of my comments over the course of several more posts.

Frankly speaking, whether this bill it passes or not is up to you, the sportsman and gun owner. If you care enough about your constitutional rights to keep them, I think that you should at least spread the word and contact not only your own senators and congressmen, but those from other states as well and encourage them to vote against HR 45.

SEC. 102. APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS.
In order to apply for a firearm permit, the following information must be submitted to the Attorney General. Having filled out security clearances in the past, it’s not an enjoyable process. The minimum age for owning or possessing a firearm will be set at 18 years old.

(1) a current, passport-sized photograph of the;
(2) the name, address, and date and place of birth;
(3) any other name that the applicant has ever used or by which the applicant has ever been known;
(4) a clear thumb print of the applicant, which shall be made when, and in the presence of the entity to whom, the application is submitted;
(5) a statement that the individual is not a person prohibited from obtaining a firearm;
(6) a certification by the applicant that the applicant will keep any firearm owned by the applicant safely stored and out of the possession of persons who have not attained 18 years of age;
(7) a certificate attesting to the completion at the time of application of a written firearms examination, which shall test the knowledge and ability of the applicant
(8) an authorization by the applicant to release to the Attorney General or an authorized representative of the Attorney General any mental health records pertaining to the applicant;
(9) the date on which the application was submitted; and
(10) the signature of the applicant.

Don’t think that this will be a free service provided by the Government. The application fee will range anywhere from ” not less than the amount determined by the Attorney General to be necessary…” up to ” shall not exceed $25.”

SEC. 103. ISSUANCE OF LICENSE.
The key points of this section are that: 1- you will be issued a license number, unique to each licensed individual, and 2- the license must be renewed every 5 years.
SEC. 104. RENEWAL OF LICENSE.
You must begin the process of renewing your firearms license at least 30 days before the expiration date of the license, you must complete an application for renewal of the license and provide a current, passport-sized photograph of the applicant that provides a clear, accurate likeness of the applicant; current proof of identity of the licensed individual; and the address of the licensed individual.
SEC. 105. REVOCATION OF LICENSE.
If your license is revoked, you must return it to the Attorney General. This also means that you MUST SELL YOUR GUNS, since you will be in possession of firearms without a valid firearms permit. This directly violates the “right to bear arms”
