If We Can Bring Enough Pressure On The 117 House Representatives, All Gun Control Bills Will Die

Gun Owners of America We also deserved a vote, Mr. Obama,  but we didn’t get it from Harry Reid! Stockman, Broun answer the call to KILL ALL GUN CONTROL in the House   Note to Barack Obama:  Spare us the snide sarcasm and the dripping contempt.  Obama's condescending state of the union speech shows, once again, why gun owners don't trust him.   "They deserve a vote," hollered Obama, pointing to drooling anti-gun activists in the galleries.  Well, so did we.  Veterans deserved a vote on whether they would receive due process from a court of law before having their constitutional gun rights taken away.  But, when Senator Chuck Schumer threatened to filibuster the DoD authorization bill in order to block that amendment, it didn't happen.  Gun owners deserved a vote on Sen. John Thune's reciprocity legislation -- allowing concealed carry holders to carry their firearms from one state into another.  But Democratic Leader Harry Reid made sure each controversial bill coming before the Senate was filled with the maximum number of allowable amendments, so Thune's amendment couldn't be offered.  Gun owners deserved a vote on appropriations language to block 16,000 IRS agents from imprisoning those who refused to comply with the anti-gun ObamaCare law.  But Reid carefully manipulated the Senate rules to insure the ObamaCare-related votes were kept to a minimum.    From responsible budgeting to gun rights, Reid's office became the graveyard for votes on issues of interest to conservatives.   Reps. Stockman & Broun circulate letter to KILL ALL GUN CONTROL   So what can gun owners do?  We can create a groundswell of support for what Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX) is doing in the House.   Rep. Stockman has just told GOA that he and Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) will be circulating a letter asking the House leadership to refuse to bring up anti-gun legislation that is NOT supported by a majority of the Republican members of the House of Representatives.    Stockman’s effort could potentially kill ALL GUN CONTROL in the House.    We know, we know.  We believe that gun control should die if only one constitutionalist-representative opposes it -- or even if none do.  But, as a practical matter, if 117 congressmen sign a letter demanding that Boehner not bring up a gun control bill opposed by those 117 congressmen, gun control will die.  Without that letter, Democrats will join with anti-gun Republicans, and gun control will pass. ACTION:  Click here to contact your Representative and urge him or her to cosign the Stockman-Broun letter.  Please note that there are two different action responses for you to send, and the system will automatically send that response, depending upon whether your congressman is a Republican or Democrat. Please put pressure on your representatives in the House. Put Pressure on Boehner too. Let him know he just squeaked by retaining the Speakers position and he better heed the American Public.

Getting as many people involved in this project is Extremely Critical to our Fighting Back Efficiently and Effectively against the attack on our Second Amendment Freedoms by the Democratic Socialists infecting our Federal Government. Please do this and pass the information on to everyone you know. This could be our last line of defense of our freedoms!

ALERT FROM G.O.A. ON EFFECTIVENESS OF THE CAMPAIGN TO STOP THE LIBERAL GUN GRABBERS!  

According to the Gun Owners of America we are starting to make inroads against the Liberal Left Gun Grabbers, but the fight is not over yet. Here is an excerpt from their latest bulletin; For us, this is all good news. But let us make this perfectly clear: THE BATTLE IS NOT WON YET.

And we have to continue to pound, pound, pound — just as we have done over the past two months.

That said, there are good signs around Capitol Hill that your activism is producing tremendous results:

* Anti-gun radicals have all but given up on their ability to pass Feinstein’s semi-automatic ban and magazine ban (http://www.gunowners.org/alert01312013.htm). Instead, they are focusing on their universal gun registry (http://www.gunowners.org/congress02122013.htm) and a trafficking/licensure bill (http://www.gunowners.org/analysisofs54.htm).

* If we can just get 117 Republicans in the House to sign the Stockman-Broun letter insisting that no gun control be brought up in the House without the support of 117 Republicans (http://www.gunowners.org/alert02142013.htm), it will be difficult for House Speaker John Boehner to bring up any gun control in the House.

* The handful of House liberal anti-gun Republicans seem to be holding firm in opposition to the universal gun registry. Philadelphia suburban Congressman Meehan -– one of the Left’s two key targets -– yesterday flatly resisted MSNBC’s call for him to endorse the registry.

We desperately need to get as many people involved in this as is humanly possible. There is great strength in great numbers, and we have to literally bury them in protest against the gun grabbers actions or they will keep pushing this forward. We can’t afford to let any legislation come up because Harry Reid has a plan to sabotage it’s intent with multiple Amendments to get the entire wish list of the Gun Grabbers enacted and with the changes he made to the Filibuster he has every chance of doing just that. The Progressive element deliberately used underhanded and dishonorable tactics to force Obamacare on us and will do the same given even the slightest chance on Gun Control/Confiscation Laws.
