Reject Renewal of Feinstein-Schumer Gun-Control Act

The below arrived via email today. I thought more than a few of you might be interested in supporting our Constitution's Second Amendment... Here is an opportunity to make your voice heard.

-----Original Message----- From: The Federalist [mailto:mailer@federalist.com] Sent: Friday, August 20, 2004 12:13 Subject: Reject Renewal of Feinstein-Schumer Gun-Control Act

(Please forward this time-sensitive notice to fellow American Patriots.)

PatriotPetitions.US has launched a national campaign entreating our President, House of Representatives and Senate to reject legislation renewing the 1994 Clinton-Feinstein-Schumer Gun-Control Act schedule to sunset on 13 September 2004. Please read this brief description of the campaign and let your voice be heard on this matter.

Though House Majority Leader Tom DeLay says "The votes in the House are not there" to renew the measure, Feinstein and Schumer will press for a roll call vote in order to politicize this legislation prior to the upcoming presidential election.

For thirty years, the Left has used the "safety" claim as the foundation for its strategy of "incremental encroachment" on the Second Amendment to achieve its ultimate goal of gun confiscation, and the Feinstein-Schumer legislation preventing law-abiding citizens from owning semi-automatic rifles (so-called and decidedly misnamed "assault weapons") for lawful purposes, is no exception. Such laws claim, ostensibly, to protect law-abiding citizens. Of course, only law-abiding citizens comply with these restrictions -- and at their own peril. Criminals don't care if the weapon they are using comport with the 23,000 federal, state and local gun restrictions already on the books.

Ms. Feinstein made clear her real objective after passage of Feinstein-Schumer in 1994: "If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate...for an outright ban, picking up every one of them, Mr. and Mrs. America, turn them all in, I would have done it."

Reject renewal of the 1994 Clinton-Feinstein-Schumer Gun-Control Act!

Please join fellow Patriots on the frontlines in defense of our Constitutional liberties.

Reject Hell... The authors should be arrested, tried for treason, and shot.

Pinged!!!!

[JTHomes]

Good start, now let's get rid of the Brady Bill too.

[Dead Corpse]

Brady Bill. Bush '86 Ammo Ban. '68 CGA. '34 NFA.

Every single one turns a TAX into a defacto BAN. The Founders WARNED about using one part of the Constitution being used to subvert another part.

This is tyranny. Pure and simple. And "We the People" let them get away with it.

Thanks for the ping!

[Seadog Bytes]

No problem. Glad to help.

My eternal thanks to this unknown artist, for phrasing the obvious argument in terms that we (they?) ALL can understand.

Thanks for the ping Seadog. Looks like we won this round! :) 'Bout time the idiotic AWB sunsets into oblivion...for the time being at least.

All the best.

Maybe, but Let us NOT be lulled into a false sense of security...

FACT: If elected president, Kerry will pack the U.S. Supreme Court with Feinstein/Schumer/ Kennedy-selected anti-gun activists who believe you have no right to own any firearm.

Here is a new NRA factsheet on Senator John Kerry's record on gun issues.
