Rep. Mike Kelly: 'They're Coming for Your Guns'
NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland—On March 6th, Breitbart News had the opportunity to talk to Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) about the way gun control was defeated in 2013 and what needs to happen in order to win the battle against gun control again in 2014.
Our first question regarded 2013: "When you look at last year, how do you think we were able to defeat gun control? What to you ultimately believe was the key?"
Kelly responded:
We got on it early, and we got on it often, and we went with the NRA, and we got the public to understand what was going on. That was crucial, because if you were to talk to the people that want to take our guns away they always say, 'No, no, no, you misunderstand what we're trying to do. We just want to protect people.' And we said, 'No, we know exactly what you want to do. You want to take our guns from us. You want to take away the ability that we have to protect ourselves.'
And what we have to understand in 2014 is that the gun control proponents are never going away. This is a world movement that would reduce us down to a level where we lose sovereignty of our own gun policy, of our trade policy when it comes to arms.
Breitbart News also asked: "So what should gun owners and freedom-loving Americans do?"
Kelly said in response:
You've got to keep talking to people. You have to constantly be ringing that bell, 'They're coming for your guns, they're coming for your guns.' Because as soon as we back off, we lose. And if we let them convince us that they really don't want to take our guns away, then we lose.

Re: Rep. Mike Kelly: 'They're Coming for Your Guns'
I started taking it easy writing my reps after the Toomey (traitor)/Manchin Bill was shot down last year. I've spent the last week stepping it up again. I figure that last year they were getting so many letter on both sides of the issue that no one was reading anything. I'm hoping that now that things have calmed down different reps might actually read some of the letters sent to them. (well one can hope and what does it hurt).

Re: Rep. Mike Kelly: 'They're Coming for Your Guns'
I had the opportunity to spend a few hours with Rep. Kelly. I gave him a tour of one of our jobsites with a member of the PA Coal Alliance, of which we are a member. He seemed very interested/concerned at how the current policies are affecting coal jobs.
He was a successful businessman who decided he had enough of this administration's policies when he was directly affected by the auto bailout.
In having a lengthy one on one discussion with him he asked me what my current concerns were. First, was obviously the attempted gun control. Followed by our debt, the lack of accountability for IRS, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, the out of control EPA, Washington being out of control with the people of this nation, our foreign policy, etc.
He very passionately shared my concerns. He is definately one of the good guys. Give him your support when you can.

A lot of friends and family tell me they are tired of hearing it from me and their attitude is," it's not going to happen". They can't be bothered with it.
