Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., has sponsored H.R. 2159, the Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2009, which permits the attorney general to deny transfer of a firearm to any "known or suspected dangerous terrorist." The bill requires only that the potential firearm transferee is "appropriately suspected" of preparing for a terrorist act and that the attorney general "has a reasonable belief" that the gun might be used in connection with terrorism.The full text is here. These are the sponsers: Rep. Michael Castle [R-DE], Rep. Charles Rangel [D-NY], Rep. Carolyn McCarthy [D-NY], Rep. Mark Kirk [R-IL], Rep. James Moran [D-VA], Rep. Christopher Smith [R-NJ]. The names on this list should tell you all you need to know as to the intent of this bill. If the NRA has a stranglehold on Congress these guys sure haven't gotten the message yet.
Call your representatives and let them known where you stand.

Please take a moment to read and sign this petition to stop the passage of HR 2159, Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2009, as it violates our 1st, 2nd, and 5th amendment rights granted to us, The American People, by the Constitution of The United States of America.
Thank you.
Ryan

Actually he proof positive that we need to stop caring about party affiliation and concentrate on position and ideology. Some congress critters take for granted we'll vote for them because they have an R bedside their name and they're the lesser of two evils.
