OFF SPECIAL ALERT 2/25/04

As you know, S. 659/S. 1806, the "Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act," is due to be debated TODAY. As we pointed out in our previous alert, there are no shortage of gun grabbers waiting in the wings to add anti-gun amendments to it.

This may be the single most important battle we've faced in years.

If the anti-freedom radicals have their way, this bill will be used to make permanent the outrageous and unconstitutional "assault weapon ban" and impose new restrictions on gun shows. As positive as this bill may be, we simply cannot allow those amendments to be part of it.

There has been much talk that "we don't have the votes" to pass this bill without these terrible provisions and that it will be "cleaned up in committee" later.

DON'T BELIEVE IT! If these provisions get added we will have a very difficult time removing them.

Please, if you are and NRA member, contact them and tell them that this bill is NOT worth a renewal of the semi-auto ban. Tell them that under no circumstances should they make any "deals" with your rights to get this bill passed.

An e-mail address for them follows:

Federal-Affairs@nrahq.org

Then, right away, call both Oregon's Senators and tell them NO DEALS WITH YOUR RIGHTS!

Please do this right away. There is no time to lose.
