Greetings from the Alabama Gun Bigots

HB600 - Introduced to Alabama Legislature 05 April 2007.

Sponsoring Representatives: Todd, Rogers, Robinson (O), Dunn, Scott, Moore(M), and Hillared - RFD Judiciary.

Synopsis:

"This bill would require each person who possesses an automatic or semi-automatic weapon to register with the Department of Public Safety pursuant to procedures established by the department. This bill would define automatic or semi-automatic weapons. This bill would restrict the use of the information received from registrants. This bill would provide penalties. This bill would provide for the disposition of the fees and penalties. (skipping extraneous details related to Alabama Constitution) ... The purpose or effect of this bill would be to require a new or increased expenditure of local funds within the meaning of the amendment. However, the bill does not require approval of a local governmental entity or enactment by a 2/3 vote to become effective because it comes within one ot the specified exceptions containted in the amendment" (This refers to Amendment 621 Section 111.05 which is not particularly important to our discussion here.)

Looking at the text of the bill we find that it is referred to as the "George Amison Jr. Act" and it covers ALL SEMI AUTOMATIC PISTOLS, RIFLES, and SHOTGUNS regardless of caliber or gauge. Furthermore, page 3 - line 15 of this bill specifies there will be a $ 50 fee for each SEMI Automatic or Automatic firearm registered.

HEADS UP ALABAMA GUN OWNERS:

While it is easy to believe this will never past the Alabama House or Senate, LET US NOT ASSUME ANYTHING. This bill is a real POS that needs to be flushed quickly.

Here are some links for the bill and a zip code search for Alabama Representatives:

We could use some help from out-of-state supporters. Simply pick a zip code for any place in Alabama and e-mail an appropriate message. Even though we all know this legislation is a POS and really it stinks, please try to keep your message clean. Thank You.
 
Still, a sound defeat may send a stronger message to politicans that like to stay on the fence. Treat it as an opportunity, write your representatives!
 
They didn't have those kind of people in Alabama when Grandpaw lived there,
people pollution from elsewhere. They move out of their horrible habitats then in the new adopted State, endeavor to make it as screwed up as the mess that they came from. Same thing out West with the influx from farther west.

Whats the answer? I haven't a clue, but fight 'em in the Statehouse and at the polls............
 
Maybe Good News on Alabama HB600

House Member and sponsor of HB600 Patricia Todd has been overwhelmed with e-mail and phone calls in oposition to this bill. As a result she has promised to withdraw her legislation. In yesterday's radio interview, she insist that her intent was only to open a discussion on the matter of the availability of guns to the wrong people. She was not specific about who she perceived as the "wrong people."

Since I do not personally know her, I will assume she is clueless about gun rights and crime issues. She will need a lot of help, or may need to be replaced in the next election.

Thanks to everyone that e-mailed or called her with their concerns.
 
Alabama Semi-Auto Bill (HB 600)

This is a blatant attempt in taking the next step to criminalize the freedoms that we currently enjoy--and I will never submit to this tyranny. By the stroke of a pen, you and I and all who resist would be labeled a criminal. Those of us who have concealed carry permits would be closely scrutinized to make sure we were in compliance. There is no purpose whatsoever in registering a weapon except with the express intent of harassment, criminalizing a free citizenry--and knowing where to go to confiscate the weapons when the next group of elitists decides we shouldn't have them. You have only to know your history to realize that this is tryanny of the highest order! Be concerned--be very concerned!
