Citizens Dedicated To Preserving Our Constitutional Republic

Here’s a quick update on the gun control bills currently making their way through Congress.
As you know, the biggest danger to gun rights is Obama’s ”Plan B” alternative — a triple threat designed to sound more ”reasonable” to the public than a total gun ban.
But don’t be fooled, there’s nothing reasonable about it.
This alternative has three components: fictitious “gun trafficking” legislation, so-called “mental health screenings” and “expanded background checks.”
First there’s Rep. Scott Rigell’s H.R. 452.
More properly called the Forced Gun Owner Registration Act, it’s counterpart in the Senate, S. 443, just cleared the Judiciary Committee.
That means it could be up for a vote on the Senate floor and over to the House any day.
And then there’s S. 374, Sen. Chuck Schumer’s gun control bill, which also just cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee.
This bill is far worse than I previously thought.
Not only does it FORCE states to report private mental health records to the Feds, it also requires handing them a record of EVERY firearm given, sold, or traded in America.
And of course, while some claim the bill is dead, the Feinstein Gun Ban (S. 150) also made it out of committee.
I don’t have to tell you these bills are an all out assault on the Second Amendment.
Make no mistake. Right now is crunch time.
On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate’s Judiciary Committee met yet again, passing an expanded background check bill. Last week, they RAMMED through the Leahy Gun Trafficking Bill.
That means two of the three major bills the gun-grabbers want are now on the move in the Senate . . .
Each anti-gun bill is a key part of the gun-grabbers’ three-pronged attack, which includes:
*** Expanded or even universal ”background checks” (GUN REGISTRATION).
With these ”background check” forms, President Obama and his pals can register, track and trace every firearm in America. In fact, it’s the ONLY way they can enforce their universal ”background check” scheme.
Do you really trust President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder enough to hand them every tool they need to create a national gun registry?
*** Anti-”Gun Trafficking” legislation.
By imposing outlandish penalties on Second Amendment supporters for selling or giving firearms to ”prohibited persons,” this bill is designed to allow ATF agents to terrorize Second Amendment supporters into screaming FOR a national gun registry.
Since the list of prohibited persons includes many veterans and other law-abiding people, the only way for law-abiding gun owners to protect themselves is to ensure that every firearm transfer is first ”approved” by the federal government with a national gun registry;
*** ”Mental Health” restrictions.
Have you ever served in the military or experienced a traumatic family situation like a death in the family? If you’re prescribed anything at all — or even if you complain of stress to the wrong person — that could be enough for you to lose your Second Amendment rights.
Former Surgeon General Steven Galson estimated that 46.4% of Americans experience some sort of mental illness during their lives!
To the gun-grabbers, disarming half of America for life with a simple mental health database within a year or two’s time sounds like a dream come true!
And, of course, each one of these bills will end up being loaded down with dozens more anti-gun amendments before it’s all said and done!

We are at the tipping point of losing this fight, and if we do we will have started down the slippery slope to eventual total confiscation of Firearms from the Law Abiding Public.
