One of those conspiracy e-mails making the rounds is actually true.

Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009 has been introduced in the U.S. House as H.R. 45 by Rep. Bobby Rush, an Illinois Democrat. The full bill can be found here on govtrack.us. Snopes.com has a wonderful summation, including pointing out that Rush has not been able to gain any co-sponsors and that the Democrats would suffer at the polls for passing the act.

Just thought you might want to keep tabs on what's happening.
