#1 A gun law like this will turn most Americans into criminals. There is no way I will register my weapons.

#2 First the bad news...per Snopes, this thing is out there, it's real and it's exactly as bad as you fear it could be.

Now for the...well, let's just call it the not so bad news. Both the Snopes article and the Thomas Register state that this PoS has zero co-sponsors, which indicates its chances of making it out of committee, much less actually passing both houses of Congress, are basically zip-point-doodoo.

#3 I should have added - don't let the fact that this particular law has zero chance of passing make you complacent. Eternal vigilance, etc...

#4 This bill was introduced by Bobby Rush. Cofounder and deputy defense minister of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party, which clashed repeatedly with Chicago police. Two Panther leaders were shot to death by police in a 1969 raid.
Now: U.S. congressman for 15 years in Illinoiss First District

I doubt that this bill will ever see the light of day. Anyone supporting this bill in any place but Chicago would be committing political suicide. I doubt that most Americans would register their guns and thus would become lawbreakers under this bill. The bill was named after a teenager who was shot to death by another youth on a bus in Chicago. As I recall Chicago has draconian gun laws and those do not prevent anything. You end up with a bunch of thugs being the only ones armed with illegal guns. What do they give a flip about gun registration. Rush has got to be the village idiot. Didn't a bunch of young thugs beat an honor student to death with 4x4s while on his way home from school. Chicago clean up your own act. The draconian gun laws are being challenged by the same attorney who successfully challenged the Washington D.C. gun laws.
