On occasion I have noticed a hit from the Senate googling Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2007. So, today I decided it was time to go and take a look at it. H.R.2666 is currently sitting in the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security of the House Judiciary Committee. It has been there for almost a year. Be thankful it hasn't budged. This bill would fully implement nationwide registration of all hand guns and semiautomatic long guns. Think of it as "NFA for everything but pump and bolt action long guns".
For the children, there is also a safe storage provision. Failure to comply with provisions can result in up to 10 years in prison.
Police, of course, are excepted from the requirements of this bill. Blair Holt was a high school student killed in a shooting on a public bus while shielding a girl. It is unfortunate that his name and story are used to perpetuate society's attachment to victimhood which is what prevented anyone else on the bus from actively defending Blair and the others.
If anyone ever suggests that the gun control lobby only wants reasonable restrictions and no one is talking about nationwide registration, just point them to this bill.
