    Lightbulb Alert: Will Mitch McConnell side with Dianne Feinstein to betray Gun Owners?

    nationalgunrights.org/press/gun-rights-news/item/1363-cornyn-gun-control

    Dear Second Amendment Supporter,

    We have an emergency situation on our hands.

    Texas Republican U.S. Senator John Cornyn has unveiled a gun control “deal” with vehemently anti-gun Democrat Senators Diane Feinstein (D-CA) and Chris Murphy (D-CT).

    The bill, S.2135, aims to create a national gun control “super database” that can strip the Second Amendment rights of potentially millions of law-abiding Americans without due process.

    Thankfully the National Association for Gun Rights is joined in opposition to Feinstein-Cornyn with our friends at Gun Owners of America.

    Even as opposition to the Feinstein-Cornyn bill continues to grow, lawmakers in Washington are, sadly, signaling they’re moving forward with gun control anyway.

    As I reported to you earlier this month, Cornyn has already orchestrated gun control hearings in just a few weeks.

    And Breitbart News is sounding the alarm, too, saying:

    “Hearings about gun control play into the hands of Democrats who want gun control.

    And working with gun control Senators like Chris Murphy play into the hands of gun control Senators like Chris Murphy.” - Breitbart News 11/15/2017

    Making matters worse, NAGR’s Capitol Hill staff is reporting that Cornyn is looking to RAM this bill through over the holidays, and he may even have the blessing of Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

    That means it’s up to grassroots gun activists, and liberty –loving patriots like you to turn up the pressure.

    Gun owners must unite to STOP this bill now before the Senate comes back from their Thanksgiving break.

    Please call your Senators at their local offices right away and tell them that you, along with millions of other Second Amendment supporters, are opposed to the Feinstein-Cornyn gun control act.

    You can reach your U.S. Senators here:

    (202) 224-3121

    Urge them to OPPOSE Feinstein-Cornyn S.2135 or any other anti-gun schemes.

    This is serious.

    Senator Chris Murphy is “ecstatic,” and is already bragging on Twitter that this is the largest gun control push since the Toomey-Manchin attempt to BAN PRIVATE FIREARM SALES.

    This new bill FORCES every state to keep meticulous records of gun owners via the ATF, and then mandates every state hand over their records to Big Brother... or else face the consequences.

    Federal agencies will continue denying gun rights to veterans and could once again strip Social Security recipients of their Second Amendment rights.

    The Feinstein-Cornyn package is nothing but a gun control “super database.”

    And if this bill gains steam in the Senate, mark my words, it will get a whole lot worse.

    Massive new gun bans and prohibitions on firearm components and accessories -- even GUN CONFISCATION -- could all be on the table.

    Sadly, this isn’t the first time Sen. Cornyn has flirted with the gun control crowd.

    If you recall, he tried to do the same thing in 2015, but was stopped by National Association for Gun Rights supporters like you.

    But this time he has the help of some of the most rabidly anti-gun Senators in Washington, D.C., including his fellow bill sponsor Dianne Feinstein.

    Dianne Feinstein has spent her entire career working to cement herself as the most anti-gun Senator in Washington, D.C.

    She has even supported all-out gun bans, stating “Mr. and Mrs. America, turn em’ all in” when describing her ultimate goal.

    Anything Dianne Feinstein or Chris Murphy are willing to put their name on is undoubtedly bad news for gun owners.

    If Feinstein-Cornyn passes it would make this existing gun control law a whole lot worse.

    So please make sure that your Senators know you’re opposed to the Feinstein-Cornyn gun control bill (S.2135).

    You can reach them at (202) 224-3121.

    Please don’t delay -- the united voices of gun owners must be heard immediately.

    Once you’ve called, you can also click here and sign your Emergency Fax Petition to make your voice heard again.

    With our Second Amendment rights at stake, there isn’t a moment to lose -- please take action today!

    P.S. Senators John Cornyn and Dianne Feinstein have joined forces to push a radical gun control bill!

    The bill could strip millions of Americans of their Second Amendment rights without any due process.

    As gun owners and national groups begin to line up against this bill, Washington lawmakers appear poised to RAM it through over the holidays anyway.

    So please call your Senators at their district offices right away and let them know you’re opposed to the Feinstein-Cornyn gun control act!

    You can reach your U.S. Senators here: (202) 224-3121


    Urge them to OPPOSE Feinstein-Cornyn S.2135 or any other anti-gun schemes.

    You're probably right.
    They want a “super database” tied to everything you do online and all your medical records.

    But other than NCIC (PICS), none of the other databases will keep a person from buying a firearm.

    Its how they want to utilize all these databases.
    For instance, did you lose a child or family member a few years ago? Did your physician Rx antidepressants for a period of time?
    They want you prohibited.

    Did you have a struggle with alcohol 10 years ago? Well, your doctor said you did so boom you're prohibited.

    NAGR is a more trustworthy source than the national news media or the government- but there is STILL ZERO TEXT on this bill. Since it pertains to firearms and it is cosponsored by Feinstein and Murphy I am urging my congressman to vote 'no'. I don't like this 'secret behind closed doors' horse shit.

    When you have the rich writing checks to get their way, I am sure eventually almost every politician will change sides.
