From a gun grabbers site ( neahin )

HR 4757, the Our Lady of Peace Act, was introduced in the 107th Congress by Representatives Carolyn McCarthy and John Dingell in May 2002.

(A companion bill, S. 2826, was introduced in the Senate in late July by Senators Larry Craig, John McCain, Charles Schumer and Edward Kennedy.)

The bill, which would "fix" the faulty records in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), has won the support of groups on all sides of the gun issue: Americans for Gun Safety; National Rifle Association; the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence; and the Brady Campaign.

In addition to calling my Senators I'll obviously need to call the NRA and ask them to be more careful in the legislation they endorse and to reverse themselves on this one.

I've been a Life Member of the NRA for over thirty years but I'm beginning to think I need to send more to GOA and less to the NRA. Maybe it's time to think about establishing Friends of GOA Dinners.

The bill ... has won the support of groups on all sides of the gun issue: Americans for Gun Safety; National Rifle Association...

Yet another justification for my decision to discontinue my NRA membership years ago.

The NRA has ceased to represent responsible gun owners and now only represents certain special interests who have gained control over the NRA through the use of large donations.

Gun Owners of America truly is "the only no-compromise gun lobby in Washington."
