Citizens Dedicated To Preserving Our Constitutional Republic
Source page; http://cqrcengage.com/gunowners/app/write-a-letter?2&engagement...
There are several anti-gun amendments that will come up for a vote on Monday, June 20. They will be amendments to a Commerce-Justice-State spending bill (H.R. 2578).
A Feinstein proposal will bar (or delay) honest Americans from buying guns, if their name mistakenly winds up on a government watch list.
And a Murphy proposal will institute universal gun buyer registration -- via so-called Universal Background Checks.
Then there’s the Constructive Republican Alternative Proposals (aka, CRAP).
One Republican “compromise” version -- which is an alternative to the Feinstein “terror watch” language -- will still result in lengthy delays for honest Americans who are trying to buy firearms for self-defense.
Ironically, the “compromise” language would not apply to a terrorist who is being investigated for purchasing fertilizer, renting a Ryder truck and posting statements about blowing up federal buildings.
It only demonizes guns and those who want to buy guns -- and innocent people will be denied firearms.
This is because the government watch lists are horribly flawed and have massive mistakes -- as seen by the fact that even Congressmen and Senators have ended up on the lists.
(Well, some might argue that Congressmen should be on this list for voting to violate our Constitution, but that’s a whole separate discussion.)
Anyway, Republicans are offering their proposals as “side-by-side” amendments, which are intended to kill the Democrat gun control proposals.
Sadly, it’s a reality of the Senate that the “squishies” there demand to have something to “vote for.”
One can argue the merits or demerits of this -- we certainly do -- but if there is any consolation to all this, it’s that all the proposals are intended to fail (even the Republican ones).
Well, we’ll certainly have to see how this precarious strategy works.
Orlando Being Used as an Excuse for More Infringements
Anti-gun Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA) admitted on Wednesday that the Orlando shooting is simply an “obvious opportunity” to pass gun control.
That’s because there’s nothing the gun haters are proposing which would have saved one life -- and many anti-gun spokesman have admitted as much.
So here’s the message we need to communicate to our Senators:
