The Gun Control Battle is Winnable

GOA wants to thank you so much for the activism that you have put in this week.

We know the opposition against our God-given rights is intense right now.

But please remember that we’ve been to this rodeo before.

After Columbine, the Left conducted a six-month crusade for gun control -- with a magazine running a jet black cover (symbolizing death) and the full power of the presidency against us.

In the end, only two senators -- TWO -- resisted the siren call to vote for Clinton-type gun control, and yet we still managed to pull out a victory because of a key pro-gun Republican in House (Rep. Tom DeLay).

After Sandy Hook, every major voice in the country proclaimed that we had reached a tipping point and that the “gun lobby” would be utterly destroyed.

Anonymous hate mail threatened to kill us and our children. Yet, with the help of pro-gun champion Senators such as Mike Lee and Rand Paul, we stopped all gun control.

Some Republican Senators are caving

So the current gun control campaign -- organized by billionaires in New York and Los Angeles -- is nothing new.

Make no mistake about it: The children of Parkland, Florida, who are mouthing Bloomberg talking points have been twice victimized.

First, because they were forced to go to school in a defenseless, gun-free zone. Second, because the billionaire Left -- led by prospective Democratic nominee Oprah Winfrey, anti-gun George Clooney, and anti-gun Stephen Spielberg -- are bankrolling a gun-control march on Washington which will advocate the taking of their liberties.

As was the case after Columbine, there are fearful, squishy Republicans who are now threatening to bail ship -- on “Trojan Horse” bump stock bans … background registration checks … and more.

Leftist White House advisors are pushing Trump to embrace a wide variety of gun control. Not surprisingly, these advisors don’t know a whole lot about guns.

But if the Trump administration tries to outlaw guns and accessories by illegal executive fiat, we will take his administration to court -- and we think we can win if we can get it before the Supreme Court. However, that’s tomorrow’s problem.

Thanks to House Republicans, passing gun control will not be easy

Today’s problem is making sure Senators Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Chris Murphy (D-CT), and John Cornyn (R-TX) do not create a $625,000,000 “bribe pot” to get millions of additional names in the NICS system.

These names would include more veterans, more traffic ticket scofflaws, more medical marijuana users, more “SAFE Act” New Yorkers who are turned in by their psychiatrists, more Californians who are stripped of their guns in “star-chamber” proceedings which they are barred from attending.

The good news is this: As a condition of passing H.R. 38 -- the Hudson reciprocity bill -- with a “Fix NICS” amendment, the House leadership committed that it would not consider a Senate passed “Fix NICS” bill unless it contained reciprocity. Chuck Schumer would not allow such a combo-bill to pass the Senate.

So, by insisting on that linkage, the House has effectively killed “Fix NICS” for more than two months.

But we need to understand that the weight of the world will be brought down on the House to break its promise and capitulate.

So we are counting on our Senate heroes -- Mike Lee and Rand Paul -- to object to any “unanimous consent” request which would allow the Senate to consider a straight gun-control “Fix NICS” bill. They need your encouragement and your support.

Will Republicans enact gun control legislation, after Obama couldn’t for eight years?

The congressional Republicans who have not kept faith with their campaign promises need to hear from you.

For example, Florida gun owners should politely, but firmly, admonish Sen. Marco Rubio (R) for his compromising statements this week and encourage him to stick to a “shall not be infringed” defense of the Second Amendment.

In the end, if the Republican Party becomes “THE PARTY THAT FINALLY DELIVERED GUN CONTROL, AFTER EIGHT YEARS OF FAILURE UNDER BARACK OBAMA,” it will lose its base and be flushed down the toilet bowl of history.

The sooner it learns that lesson, the more likely it is that the GOP will grow because of media-generated copycat shootings, rather than being crushed by them.

Make no mistake about it: The rioting liberals will settle for nothing less than a massive gun ban and confiscation program.

And they have never voted for a Republican and will never do so.

Text of GOA pre-written email to Senator Patrick Toomey (R) and Sentor Bob Casey (D) included below for reference.

----------

Do you know that 81 percent of our nation's police officers support arming teachers and principals?

Do you know that by a 2-to-1 margin, they concur that concealed carry is a more effective way to stop mass shootings than the "strengthening background checks" approach?

You can see how police officers responded to both of these questions at Questions 5 and 7: tinyurl.com/ycjpuf5d

Of all the options on the table, arming responsible adults in our schools is the only approach that will actually stop an active shooter.

All the other gun proposals will fail. Gun Owners of America has provided a section-by-section analysis of the anti-gun abomination that is known as "Fix NICS." See: gunowners.me/2GDi6Bz

Please uphold your oath to support and defend the Constitution, and do not support any infringements of the rights of law-abiding Americans.
