RKBA ALERT! S. 659 may be voted on in the next two days!

Oh, good. Somebody else posted this alert.

The phones in DC are going to be jammed tomorrow. Let's make sure that most of the calls are from us right wing extremist gun nuts. This bill needs to pass WITHOUT AMENDMENTS. NRA is assuring everyone that any of Schumerstein's proposed gungrab amendments "will be removed in committee", but to my way of thinking, letting that bill get out of the Senate with ANY anti-gun amendments in the hope of getting them removed later is a really risky scheme (Hey Algore...).

*Please* keep this bumped until 5 or 6 PM EST today (2/24). And call your Senator's office - *especially* if he/she/it is a waffling RINO.

And... pass the word via email and on other forums...

Here is an email from the AW ban site, with further details:

Subject: [sunsetnews] AWB Renewal Vote THIS WEEK - Call your Senators Tuesday!!!

S.659, the bill that will help eliminate frivolous lawsuits against the firearms industry, will be taken up in the Senate this week, possibly as soon as tomorrow. It is widely reported that Sen. Feinstein will attempt to amend the bill with a renewal of the 1994 "Assault Weapons" Ban.

The anti-gun lobby is staging a "phone-in" tomorrow (Tuesday, February 24th) in opposition to S.659. Though the bill already has enough co-sponsors (54) to ensure passage, a filibuster could still be attempted, which is presumably what the anti-gun side is hoping for.

To ensure our elected officials know they will lose more votes than they gain by supporting a renewal of the AWB, we all need to do our part by calling our Senators and voicing our strong opposition to the Feinstein AWB renewal amendment that will be offered for S.659... not only should this ban not be renewed, it should not be allowed to cloud the issue of whether S.659, an unrelated bill, should be passed.

The anti-gun folks are asking their people to call between the following hours:

9:00 AM - 1:00 PM Eastern Standard Time
8:00 AM - 12:00 PM Central Standard Time
7:00 AM - 11:00 AM Mountain Standard Time
6:00 AM - 10:00 AM Pacific Standard Time

Call 202-224-3121 and ask for one of your Senators' offices (you'll have to call back to reach the other one).
< NOTE - This isn't always true; sometimes you can get them to transfer you >

Even if you've already called your Senators in the past few weeks, CALL AGAIN tomorrow. Be polite, but firm in your opposition to Feinstein's AWB renewal amendment. Please spread the word to everyone you know.

Thank you, everyone, for taking an active role in ensuring this useless ban does indeed sunset this September.

Once again - *please* keep this bumped throughout the day today (Tuesday 2/24).

CFA Survey Shows Gun Owners Support AWB ["...likely to take up the AWB this week"]
Join Together (leftist site) ^ | 2/23/2004

It seems that the Consumer Federation of America is a front organization for the Violence Policy Center. Naomi Seligman speaks for both. A google search reveals she speaks for other gun grabbing groups.

Come and take them.

Even the BATF itself has said that such ballistic databases are worthless in SOLVING crimes. The only time ballistics is of any use is AFTER the gun in question has been obtained by law enforcement.

The time you're on the phone calling the anti's ties up their phone for other business and the other side can't get through. Don't forget to call Bill Frist, our majority leader.

Thanks. I forgot Frist. I'll call Rogers again too.

And the WH comment line again.

[Shooter 2.5]

Time to make some calls. Even if you're in an area where the Senators are anti's, take the opportuntity to tell them they're wrecking their Party.

Don't forget to call the Senate majority leader. The numbers are listed on the thread.

The Conressional Switchboard is hopping, I had to call numerous times to get in. I hope it's our folks that are tying up the lines. If you haven't called, please do!!
