HR45 Gun Owners Watch Out

Concerning the Blair-Holt proposed legislation: Senate Bill SB-2099 will require us to put on our 2009 1040 federal tax form all guns that you have or own. It may require fingerprints and a tax of $50 per gun.

In November, our president promised he was not going after our Second Amendment rights. This bill was introduced on Feb. 24. This bill will become public knowledge 30 days after it is voted into law. This is
an amendment to the Internal Revenue Act of 1986. This means that the Finance Committee can pass this without the Senate voting on it at all.

The full text of the proposed amendment is on the U.S. Senate homepage, http://www.senate.gov/

You can find the bill by doing a search by the bill number, SB-2099.

You know who to call; I strongly suggest you do. Please send a copy of this e-mail to every gun owner you know.

http://www..opencongress.org/bill/111-h45/text

Congress is now starting on the firearms confiscation bill. If it passes, gun owners will become criminals if you don't fully comply. It has started.

Very Important for you to be aware of a new bill HR 45 introduced into the House. This is the Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sale Act of 2009.

Even gun shop owners didn't know about this because the government is trying to fly it under the radar.

To find out about this - go to any government website and type in HR 45 or Google HR 45 Blair Holt Firearm Licensing  Record of Sales Act of 2009. You will get all the information.

Basically this would make it illegal to own a firearm - any rifle with a clip or ANY pistol unless:
 It is registered
 -You are fingerprinted
 -You supply a current Driver's License
 -You supply yourSocial Security #
 -You will submit to a physical mental evaluation at any time of their choosing
 -Each update change or ownership through private or public sale must be reported and costs $25
 - Failure to do so you automatically lose the right to own a firearm and are subject up to a year in jail
 -There is a child provision clause on page 16 section 305 stating a child-access provision. Gun must be locked and inaccessible to any child under 18.

They would have the right to come and inspect that you are storing your gun safely away from accessibility to children and fine is punishable for up to 5 yrs. in prison.

If you think this is a joke - go to the website and take your pick of many options to read this. It is long and lengthy. But, more and more people are becoming aware of this. Pass the word along. Any hunters in your family pass this along.

This is just a "termite" approach to complete confiscation of guns and disarming of our society to the point we have no defense - chip away a little here and there until the goal is accomplished before anyone realizes it.

This is one to act on whether you own a gun or not. If you take my gun, only the criminal will have one to use against me. HR 45 only makes me/us less safe.

Canadian Snipers wiping out Taliban Snipers in Afghanistan .
These video shots are not made through the shooter's telescopic sight.
They are made looking through the spotter's scope. The spotter lies right next to the sniper and helps the sniper find and home in on the target.
The sniper is using a 50 calibre rifle. A 50 cal. round is about 7-8 inches long and the casing is about an inch in diameter. The bullet itself is one-half inch in diameter and roughly 4 inches long.

Pay close attention to the beginning of the video. A Taliban sniper is laying on top of the peak in front of you.. When you hear the shot fired, watch what happens.
The sniper is hitting an enemy soldier at a range of 2,310 meters (7565ft/1.43 miles), the longest recorded and confirmed sniper shot in history. The previous record of 2,250 meters (7369ft/1.4 miles) was set by US Marine sniper Carlos Hathcock in Vietnam in 1967, The Canadian sniper was at an altitude of 8,599 feet and the target, across a valley was at 9,000 feet.

Canadian sniper units often operated in support of US infantry units, which were grateful for their help. The record lasted only one day, until a second Canadian sniper hit an enemy soldier at 2,400 meters(7860ft/1.48 miles).
The Canadian snipers fire special 50-calibre McMillan tactical rifles, which are bolt-action weapons with five-round magazines.

MooPig Joins Math Quiz by "The Universe of Discourse"

Fri, 22 May 2009 | The Universe of Discourse

A child is bitten by a dog every 0.07 seconds...
I read in the newspaper today that letter carriers were bitten by dogs 3,000 times last year. Curiously, this is not a round number; it is exact. The article then continued: "children ... are 900 times more likely to be bitten than letter carriers."

This is obviously nonsense, because suppose the post office employs half a million letter carriers. The actual number is actually about half that, but we are doing a back-of-the-envelope estimate of plausibility. Then the bite rate is six bites per thousand letter carriers per year, and if children are 900 times more likely to be bitten, they are getting bitten at a rate of 5,400 bites per thousand children per year, or 5.4 bites per child. Insert your own joke here, or use the prefabricated joke framework in the title of this article.

I wrote to the reporter, who attributed the claim to the Postal Bulletin 22258 of 7 May 2009. It does indeed appear there. I am trying to track down the ultimate source, but I suspect I will not get any farther. I have discovered that the "900 times" figure appears in the Post Office's annual announcements of Dog Bite Prevention Month as far back as 2004, but not as far back as 2002.

Meantime, what are the correct numbers?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have a superb on-line database of injury data. It immediately delivers the correct numbers for dog bite rate among children:
[For Example excerpt provided here:]
Age | Number of injuries | Population | Rate per 100,000
0  |   2,302   |  4,257,020  |  54.08
1 7,100 4,182,171 169.77
2 10,049 4,110,458 244.47
3 10,355 4,111,354 251.86
4 9,920 4,063,122 244.15
5 7,915 4,031,709 196.32
6 8,829 4,089,126 215.91
7 6,404 3,935,663 162.72
8 8,464 3,891,755 217.48
9 8,090 3,901,375 207.36
10 7,388 3,927,298 188.11
11 6,501 4,010,171 162.11
12 7,640 4,074,587 187.49
13 5,876 4,108,962 142.99
14 4,720 4,193,291 112.56
15 5,477 4,264,883 128.42
16 4,379 4,334,265 101.03
17 4,459 4,414,523 101.01
Total 133,560   |  82,361,752   |  162.16

According to the USPS 2008 Annual Report, in 2008 the USPS employed 211,661 city delivery carriers and 68,900 full-time rural delivery carriers, a total of 280,561. Since these 280,561 carriers received 3,000 dog bites, the rate per 100,000 carriers per year is 1069.29 bites.

So the correct statistic is not that children are 900 times more likely than carriers to be bitten, but rather that carriers are 6.6 times as likely as children to be bitten, 5.6 times if you consider only children under 13. Incidentally, your toddler's chance of being bitten in the course of a year is only about a quarter of a percent, ceteris paribus.

Where did 900 come from? I have no idea.

There are 293 times as many children as there are letter carriers, and they received a total of 44.5 times as many bites. The "900" figure is all over the Internet, despite being utterly wrong. Even with extensive searching, I was not able to find this factoid in the brochures or reports of any other reputable organization, including the American Veterinary Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or the Humane Society of the Uniited States. It appears to be the invention of the USPS.

EPILOGUE:
Also in the same newspaper, the new Indian restaurant on Baltimore avenue was advertising that they "specialize in vegetarian and non-vegetarian food". It's just a cornucopia of stupidity today, isn't it?

MooPig Movie Reviews: Part ONE Schindlers List

WORD :: "email" -- the word has a History .... or not
Retrieved by Pat Darnell and Geneva 'Dotty' Kom

During the Movie we spotted a word that must precede its modern appearance by 30 years or more: "EMAIL" is part of the word Emailwarenfabrik.


MooPigsters ask: "Is there a connection?"

Avenue of the Righteous Among the Nations, Yad Vashem, Jerusalem

Next to an old trade route, the settlement of Moravská Chrastová was founded after 1200 by monks from a monastery in Litomyšl. It is first mentioned in a document from 1323.

The first written mention of Brněnec is to be found in the 1557 act of partition of the dominion of Swojanow. In 1892, workers carrying out improvements to the Bělá nad Svitavou road stumbled upon the remnants of prehistoric clay jars in the vicinity of the Nová Amerika ("New America") inn, one kilometre west of Brněnec. Systematic excavation on this site in 1893 unearthed further archaeological finds. A neighbouring hillside of crevices and caves, known as Jeskyně Čertovy, had already yielded traces of earlier settlements.

With the construction of the railway from Prague to Brno, Brněnec received its own railway station on this main line. This encouraged numerous new industrial enterprises such as textile factories to develop around the dominant business of the Daubek mills.

'Emalia' and 'Emailwarenfabrik' translate as Enamelware... spelled the latter in the movie.

In 1930, the municipality of Brněnec (including the then districts of Zářečí nad Svitavou, now part of the municipality of Březová nad Svitavou, and Podlesí counted 606 inhabitants, of whom 208 held German nationality. In 1939, as a result of German occupation and the ensuing retreat of Czech inhabitants, the total population had dropped to 490.

The municipality extended at that time only to the Bohemian right bank of the river Svitava. On the opposite Moravian bank was the independent village of Moravská Chrastová, which, together with its districts of Chrastová Lhota and Půlpecen (now part of the municipality of Chrastavec), had a total population in 1939 of 1,143 inhabitants and was therefore twice the size of Brněnec.

The town of Brněnec formed part of the administrative and judiciary region of Politschka. After the annexation of the Sudetenland by Germany, it was integrated into the county of Zwittau.

In 1944, Oskar Schindler relocated his Deutsche Emailwarenfabrik (German Enamelware Factory), and the associated prison camp of 1,200 Jewish forced labourers, from Kraków to a munitions factory acquired by him in Brněnec. The Jewish workforce thus escaped transport to the extermination camps and was liberated on the 10 May 1945.

February 12th, 2009 | Category: OverwhelmingEvidence, Science Last year the leading ID research site OverwhelmingEvidence.com blogged about an exciting new technology called Orbo – from a little known Irish company called Steorn. This tiny company had earned the wrath of the entire materialist community by proposing something which was “impossible”: A compact, environmentally-friendly machine capable of producing free rotational energy despite lacking any source of fuel or power.

Neiman Marcus 2009 Christmas Catalogue toned down in view of economic climate

Luxury retailers were some of the hardest hit by the recession this year. Keeping in mind the reduction in sales and the slide in demand for luxury goods, well known luxury retailer Neiman Marcus unveiled a luxury “lite” Christmas catalogue this year. The Christmas Book which is known to feature some of the most opulent and luxurious items has been toned down this year keeping in mind the current market situation. The most expensive item in the 2009 catalogue is a $250,000 Icon A5 sports plane followed y a $105,000 Jaguar and a $73,000 Mission One electric motorcycle- called the world's fastest electric sports bike.
There is also a cup cake shaped car in the catalogue for a mere $25,000. For art lovers there is the $8,500 artwork whose focal point is a preserved African Flower Beetle signed by artist Mike Libby.
For the intellectuals, Neiman even offers to arrange a private dinner party with some of the world's sharpest minds ...like Henry Louis Gates Jr., Christopher Buckley and George Stephanopoulos... for $200,000 at New York City's Algonquin Hotel.
Compared to the earlier years, this catalogue is definitely more modest. Even holiday "hot toys" are skewed toward price tags under $100, in line with consumers' frugality.
In fact, more than 40 percent of the retailer's roughly 400 holiday items are under $250! This catalogue clearly shows that the market is far from recovered from the harsh economic climate.
