This kind of bill needs to die - FAST.
Our goal should be to kill these bills before they ever see the light of a CNN camera. We have to make sure that ALL of these anti-RKBA bills get buried in committee - and STAY buried.
Towards that end, we need to SUPPORT and ENCOURAGE these particular House members because THEY have these and all other anti-RKBA bills in their hands RIGHT NOW.
The Senate is almost a lost cause - fugghetabowtit. But we have strength in the House and THAT'S where we need to focus our efforts - and our emails, letters and phone calls.

Just look at that straight-A line-up!
THIS is what a Republican-majority can do - but the battle's just beginning now!
Now we can piss and moan all you want to about what bills are introduced and who introduced them - but THESE PEOPLE are the ones who can keep or kill them. Contact them and let them know that these anti-gun bills are blatant violations of the 2nd Amendment and "remind" them that the 'gun-control' issue was a MAJOR factor in the success of conservative Republicans in both the 2000 and 2002 elections and will continue to be so in the future.
And if you live in any of these Rep's States (or better yet their districts) you MUST contact them OFTEN and let them hear from the people who will be voting in their next election.
Just think...
...it only takes EIGHT people in this one subcommittee to bury these bills - DEAD.
Let'em hear from you!!!
With a GOA-A rated Judiciary Committee Chairman, a GOA-A rated Subcommittee Chairman, a majority of GOA-A rated Subcommittee members and a GOA-A rated House Majority Whip, this has GOT to be the best chance we're ever gonna get to kill these anti-RKBA bills dead in the water.
We need to write LETTERS - emails are fine but you ALSO gotta put it on paper with a signature.
Write letters to your Reps - and KEEP writing them!

It's Not Just A Gun...
It's My "HOMELAND DEFENSE RIFLE"!!
