05.07.09 BRADY EXPANSION BILL SCHEDULED FOR HEARING |
House Bill 2853 is now scheduled for a hearing in the House
Rules Committee.The hearing is scheduled for May 13th at 3PM.
This bill, which we have warned you about
before, was moved to the Rules Committee to allow it to
stay alive after deadlines in other committees would have killed
it.
The bill would vastly expand the failed Brady Law and send thousands
of "mental health" records to the radically anti-gun
Obama administration.
The current Brady checks routinely deny law abiding Oregonians
legitimate gun purchases, and now the state is planning to dump
thousands of very personal records into a failed system. The
State Police have requested this because the Governor demanded
that they comply with the NRA sponsored, "HR 2640,"
a gun control bill created by an anti-gun New York Congresswoman.
The bill was dead until it was revived by the NRA. Upon its
passage, both the NRA and the Brady Campaign sent out victory
messages. Now it's here in Oregon.
In addition to the obvious privacy issues, there is so much
potential for abuse that this bill must be stopped.
We have not included a link to the bill because the legislative
website does not have current information posted. The bill posted
on the website is NOT the bill that has been scheduled for a
hearing.
Please contact the House Rules Committee and urge them NOT to
turn over personal records to the Obama administration, the
FBI, and the BATF. Please tell them that background checks are
conducted by our State Police, and the FBI does not need
access to the personal records of Oregonians.
If this bill passes, you can rest assured that the records being
transferred to the Federal government will be used by Obama
and his radically anti-gun Attorney
General to deny gun rights to thousands more Oregonians.
Contact information and a sample cut and paste message follow:
House Rules Committee.

Dear Representative,
HB 2853 represents one of the greatest invasions of the privacy
of Oregonians in recent memory.
Turning over the personal mental health records of Oregonians
to the federal government is a page right out of "1984."
I urge you to use your power to protect the privacy of Oregonians,
not to invade it because of outrageous demands from Washington
DC.
Yours,
