Subject: Nightmare come true
Dear Ann,
I’m afraid the gun control nightmare I warned you about a few weeks ago
is coming
true.
In the wake of the Arizona tragedy, anti-gun groups and politicians have
been falling
all over themselves to “cash in” with radical new gun control schemes.
And without your action today, I’m afraid their assault WILL SUCCEED.
That's why I've drafted up petitions to your Congressman and Senators,
urging them to
vote NO on the Gun-Grabbers’ Magazine Ban Bill (H.R. 308) -- or any other
similar bill.
But before I give you the link, I want you to know just how important
this really is.
If passed, Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy’s Magazine Ban Bill would
outlaw the sale or
transfer of firearm magazines with a capacity of more than ten rounds.
Already own a handgun, rifle or shotgun with a magazine that holds more
than ten
rounds?
You’re “legal” for now. But you can’t ever sell it, give it away or pass
it down to
your kids.
In fact, Congresswoman McCarthy’s bill would turn widows into instant
FELONS if their
late husbands possessed a 12-round magazine!
Of course, all this is bad enough. But it’s not even close to the end of
it.
News reports are that President Obama recently met with House Republicans
where he
likely made whatever promises he had to in order to pass H.R. 308 with as
little publicity
as possible.
His goal is simply to “get the camel’s nose under the tent.”
Then, once H.R. 308 goes to the Senate, the White House is preparing to
launch an
all-out WAR on our Second Amendment freedoms!
That's why I need you to sign this petition IMMEDIATELY.
If we don't stop him now, we risk losing even more of our rights.
In fact, once the bill reaches the Senate floor, my inside sources are
telling me
dozens of amendments are already in the works, including:
*** Mandatory waiting periods, and expensive, drawn-out “psychological
screenings”
designed to force ALL law-abiding citizens to get government approval before
purchasing a
firearm;
*** A TOTAL ban on all private sales under the guise of “closing the
gun-show
loophole”;
*** A new so-called “Assault Weapons” Ban, targeting ALL semi-automatic
rifles and
shotguns -- which, unlike the Clinton ban, will NEVER expire;
*** A National Concealed Carry “Standard” -- designed to make it even
more difficult
for law-abiding citizens to carry a gun to protect themselves and their
families from
murderers like Jared Loughner.
Don’t get tricked by this one -- this “standard” is nothing more than the
feds forcing
states to slow down the approval of concealed carry permits, and make the
remaining permits
null-and-void in most areas!
And with the full backing of the White House and the anti-gun media, you
and I can’t
take anything for granted.
After all, just their efforts alone will be difficult enough to overcome.
But what if -- God forbid -- there’s another criminal rampage?
You and I both know President Obama and his anti-gun pals will rush to
exploit it.
That’s why you and I must strangle this monster in its crib NOW before
it’s too late.
But don’t think for a second this fight will be easy.
As I told you in my last letter, prominent Republicans (actually, they
are RINO’s)
like U.S. Senator Richard Lugar, former Vice President Dick Cheney and Homeland
Security
Chairman Peter King have already voiced support for additional gun controls.
Frankly, it was enough to make my stomach churn.
They talk about how they support “reasonable restrictions” on law-abiding
citizens’
gun rights -- seconds before compromising you and me into complete and utter
DEFEAT.
Well, I don’t know about you, but I believe “shall not be infringed”
MEANS WHAT IT
SAYS.
And I believe the LAST thing pro-gun folks should be doing is cozying up
to the
anti-gun crowd and cutting deals -- especially with President Obama in the
White House.
Instead, you and I must do everything we can to DEFEAT THE GUN-GRABBERS.
But I can’t do it without your help.
That’s why your signed petitions to your Congressman and Senators are so
important --
and why I hope you’ll rush me your most generous EMERGENCY contribution as well.
With your emergency contribution, I’ll launch the National Association
for Gun Rights
three-part plan to fight back, including:
1) Contacting ten million Americans through U.S. mail, email and our
state-of-the-art
telemarketing campaign;
2) Launching an all-out public relations campaign to include op-eds,
blogs, talk radio
briefings, press conferences and media interviews where I’ll gladly lock horns
with anti-gun
extremists in defense of our Second Amendment rights;
3) An all-out media blitz to include hard-hitting internet and radio ads
calling on
KEY Congressmen and Senators to vote NO on H.R. 308 or any similar bill.
I knew you’d want to be involved, so I’ve already begun contacting
millions of
Americans.
But I -- and my staff -- am working furiously to generate opposition to
these gun
controls. To keep this nationwide mobilization program firing on all
cylinders, though, I
need you to be involved.
So in addition to your signed petitions, won’t you agree to a generous
$30
contribution?
If that’s too much, can you contribute $20 or even $10 TODAY?
Ann, whatever you can do, I hope you’ll agree to contribute generously --
and
IMMEDIATELY.
I’ll put every dollar you decide to send to immediate use.
Since President Obama was first sworn in, you and I have defied the odds
and have
beaten back every one of the gun-grabbers’ schemes.
But this Magazine Ban scheme could prove to be our toughest test yet.
So please rush me your signed petitions along with your most generous
contribution of
$30, $20 or even $10 IMMEDIATELY.
For liberty,
Dudley Brown
Executive Director
National Association for Gun Rights
P.S. The gun-grabbers’ goal is to sneak the Magazine Ban Bill (H.R. 308)
through the
U.S. House with as little fanfare as possible and then load it down with
anti-gun amendments
once it reaches the Senate.
And now news reports show many supposedly pro-gun Republicans and even
“gun rights
groups” are considering backing the scheme!
That’s why it’s vital you help me fight back by signing this petition --
along with
your most generous contribution of $30, $20 or even $10 IMMEDIATELY.
