12.19.07 NRA/ Brady Campaign Gun Control Bill Passes Senate
and House |
UPDATE.
SELL OUT COMPLETED.
As was predicted by our friends at the National
Association For Gun RIghts, the Senate chose this busy time,
when they hoped no one was paying attention, to ram through
the NRA and Brady Campaign supported gun grab, HR
2640.
As we have told you, this bill will vastly expand the failed
Brady background checks, which are already denying countless
legitimate gun purchases.
In a press release issued today, the anti-gun "Brady
Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence" said
"We commend the United States Senate for its action
today to strengthen the Brady background check system by passing
the "NICS Improvement Act of 2007' (H.R. 2640)."
The Nation Rifle Association is now firmly in bed with the most
militant gun grabbers in the country. While we have seen
no press releases yet from NRA...
The NRA has issued this
press release. The NRA and the Brady Campaign are now issueing
press releases praising the same bill. If this does not give
you chills, you are not paying attention.
...it is clear that they now have allied themselves with the
people who have called for a complete elimination of privately
owned semi-automatic firearms and countless other attacks on
the Second Amendment.
As we write this, we do not have vote counts on the bill. We
will post them as soon as they become available.
The bill now goes back to the House for concurrence with
the Senate version. As you know, the bill originally sailed
through the House on an unrecorded voice vote. The only "no"
vote we know of was from Congressman (and Presidential candidate)
Ron Paul.
Our last chance to kill this outrageous NRA gun grab is back
in the House.
Contact info for your House member can be found here.
Your House member will be the third person listed after your
US Senators.
Please contact them with the simple message, "The
NRA and Sarah Brady DON'T speak for me. Vote NO on HR 2640."
There may not be much time. The bill has already been sent
back to the House and if the Senate's actions are any indication,
this might get acted on before Christmas.
Please contact your Congressman right now, and if you have
not already done so, please consider making a contribution to
our political action committee.
Too late. The House
concurred in the Senate Amendments tonight. The NRA/Sarah Brady
gun grab now goes to the George Bush for his signature.
(Save this alert. When this
bill prevents thousands of legitimate gun purchases, the NRA
will be swearing they had nothing to do with it.)
Contributions qualify for a tax credit and will help us defeat
politicians who are attacking your rights. You can make a secure
and easy on line donation here.
Be sure to use the drop down menu to note that your contribution

But don't delay, your contribution must be made before the end
of the year to qualify for the 2007 tax credit. And PLEASE contact
your Congressman today and tell them to vote NO on concurrence
with the Senate on HR 2640.
