The U.S. House of Representatives is working on HR 45, a bill that will greatly restrict legal citizens from owning guns without approval by Washington. It will severely restrict having guns and will subject us to fines and penalties if we don’t notify Washington of changes in our address, in our guns, etc.   It does nothing to control guns in the hands of criminals. The police can’t even control guns in the hands of criminals now.  Are we going to trust President Barack Obama’s administration to protect us if our means of self-protection are removed?  England is facing a great increase of crime against citizens by criminals using guns since citizens were deprived of the right to bear arms a few years ago. Citizens are being prosecuted for protecting themselves, and the criminals are acting with little fear of retaliation. Do we want this? Change you can believe in is becoming change to take away our financial future, put us in debt and make it easier for criminals to attack us. The next time you face an armed criminal, call Washington and see how fast they react to protect you.
