Another sneak attack from the left.

Well, we knew this day would eventually come.

GOA has been warning gun owners that Democrat Senator Dianne
Feinstein of California would be looking for an avenue to attach her
gun ban to unrelated legislation sometime this year.

According to Senate sources, Feinstein will be making her move quite
soon.

While she reportedly has her eyes on a number of different bills as
possible vehicles for her amendment, it seems certain that she will
try to piggy-back her anti-gun language onto a legal reform bill
(such as S. 2062) within the next few weeks.

You will remember that when Feinstein offered her gun ban amendment
in March, it passed 52-47.

While a switch of only three Senators would be enough to kill the
amendment, it seems that the easiest way to defeat Feinstein will be
through a filibuster. Our side only needs 41 Senators to kill her
amendment through the art of filibuster, and it would appear that we
definitely have that many votes... BUT ONLY IF THE 47 SENATORS WHO
VOTED RIGHT LAST TIME CONTINUE TO HOLD THE LINE!

That"™s why we need another barrage of phone calls and e-mails going
into Senate offices.

ACTION: Please contact your Senators and urge them to oppose any
Feinstein amendment to reinstate the semi-auto ban. Tell them to
also support any effort to filibuster this unconstitutional
legislation.

You can send the letter as an e-mail by visiting the GOA Legislative
Action Center at http://www.gunowners.org/activism.htm (where phone
and fax numbers are also available).

Strut, Thanks for the post you beat me to it. Too bad most people on this board would rather post about Kerry vs Bush or abortion.

Where are all those guys who want to compromise from the other posts. Here's more proof! They are wrong!

I saw this posted elsewhere and immediately fired off an e-mail to my Congressman , everybody should seriously consider doing the same .

Regrettably,writing my states Senators is a complete waste of time.
i will write my Congressman.

If the bill does hit GWB's desk,I hope you guys are right about him supporting the bill being all 'lip service." I also hope none of the Senators that support the bill change their votes because of the lip service.

I received the GOA alert and fired off an email to my senators. Thanks for alerting all of us here, strut. Let's get to work fighting this tyrant.

I went to the site and sent a message to Hillary and Chucky.You had to click on a "topic" to send the email. Funny they didn't have one for gun control. If I get a reply I'll post it here for everyone to see.

If the bill does hit GWB's desk,I hope you guys are right about him supporting the bill being all 'lip service." I also hope none of the Senators that support the bill change their votes because of the lip service.

There's another example of you putting Bush into almost all your posts. Why didn't you say " Isn't this the only vote Kerry took time from campaigning to vote for?

[Charlie P]

Your right I should ignore the fact that our current President has stated on numerous occasions he supports the bill.

You would have fit in good in the dictatorship my Father ecaped from.

[JoeA]

Thaks for the heads up. I just sent a notice to my senators.

I'll be writing my Senators! Fortunatly, both Texas Senators are very pro gun!
Since the door has been opened for a presidential plug, here goes!
Again, a very good reason to vote for GWB is the conservative federal and Supreme Court judges that he will be nominating!Also for those that don't think there is a difference, not only getting a very anti gun president in Kerry-Hienz, many of those that would be voting him in will just push one button and vote a straight ticket, Which could cause us to lose a pro-gun/conservative majority in the House and Senate!
Remember Feinstein's candid admission," IF ONLY WE HAD THE VOTES......."
