HR 45 - Gun Control from an Expert

This is the brain child of one Bobby Rush who earned his first 15 minutes by going  long-term Army AWOL, founding the Illinois Black Panthers, and then doing six months in prison
.  
More lately he's been one of the Nation's Leaders, a nine-term congressman from Southside Chicago, but he's had trouble finding another Warholian quarter-hour. Trying again, Congressman Rush has created H.R. 45, a simple little bill making you license yourself and most every gun  you own. 

For whatever interest it may hold,  (a) Bobby's slammer time resulted from gun-law violations (b) prior to joining the crowd at the public tit, he listed his occupation as "activist." I think that's kinda like a community organizer, although the latter seems to be a more productive resume entry.
