Senate Leaders Prepare ‘Second Amendment Infringement Acts’

Please contact your Senators. Urge them to OPPOSE every word of gun control.

And remind them that they should be repealing gun free zones ... arming teachers and principals who want to carry ... and enacting concealed carry reciprocity!

The Second Amendment Infringement Acts of 2018

GOA is hearing that the following gun control components will be included in this compromise legislation:

1. A Trojan Horse bump stock ban. The so-called "bump stock" ban that would outlaw anything which "accelerates the rate of fire of a semi-automatic firearm."

We've already seen how this language would ban polished bolts, match triggers, and high-capacity magazines. Tripods and scopes also allow a shooter to fire accurately at an accelerated rate.

And, since pistol grips allow for faster and more accurate fire, any semi-automatic which has one could, under an anti-gun administration, also be banned. And also any semi-automatic handgun.

If you doubt this, ask yourself this question: Do you think, for a minute, that Barack Obama would not have done this, had he had this legislation available to him?

2. Background checks on steroids that would send millions of decent citizens into the NICS system.

The “Fix NICS" component would use a federal mandate and a $625,000,000 "bribe pot" to force the submission of millions of names -- perhaps tens of million of names -- of innocent Americans to NICS.

These submissions are not hypothetical: In every case, states like New York and agencies like Veterans Affairs already submit these names to NICS.

But, if every state and every agency were forced to follow New York's and the VA's lead, tens of millions of Americans would lose their right to keep and bear arms.

Thus, what if everyone in Social Security (old age), Medicare, and Medicaid could be disarmed, by a simple diagnosis, if they had Alzheimer's, PTSD, ADHD, post partem depression, or OCD? Or a guardian to process their check?

What if every state followed Massachusetts' lead and sent traffic ticket scofflaws to NICS.

What if every state sent its medical marijuana list to NICS, as Hawaii is doing?

What if every state followed New York's SAFE Act, which coerced psychiatrists to send 30,000 of their patients to NICS?

What you would have is a nation disarmed -- category by category.

Make no mistake about it: These liberals are casting a broader and broader net on innocent Americans.

And yet they were unable to stop people who passed background checks in Tucson, Aurora, San Bernardino, Charleston, Orlando, Sutherland Springs, Las Vegas, and Parkland.

And they were unable to stop the Newtown shooter, who killed his mother and stole her guns.

3. Firearm Confiscation Orders. Finally, the "Second Amendment Infringement Act" is expected to have star-chamber procedure where police, relatives, neighbors, or government officials can get a secret (ex parte) order to take away your guns.

The procedure was devised by California, in coordination to billionaire Michael Bloomberg.

The first time you would know that your gun rights have been taken away is when police arrive to ransack your house and, if you resist, to arrest or kill you and your family.

This is already happening in repressive states, although, not surprisingly, the press doesn't choose to report it.

And, although you have the right to an after-the-fact hearing, few victims have the money to hire the attorneys and expert witnesses necessary to take advantage of this option. Compounding the problem, judges are loath to second-guess themselves -- and risk public condemnation.

Pro-gun legislation that WON’T be in this “compromise” bill

We suspect the Second Amendment Infringement Act will not contain the only idea which could effectively protect our children: the right of armed teachers to protect their students.

And it will definitely not have the Hudson reciprocity bill, which the House leadership promised us and its members would be part of any final gun package.

Thus, there will be a continuing succession of bloody media-generated school shootings.

Because the one thing we know for sure is that virtually every one of these mass shooters is primarily motivated by media fame.

And each successive failure of gun control will only generate additional calls for MORE GUN CONTROL.

There was an expression popular in the 1980's: The sell-out Republicans are "feeding the alligator, in the hopes that it will eat them last."

But if you're wondering how this sell-out bill will play politically, check out the Saturday New York Times front-page sub-headline: "[Florida] Leaders Defy N.R.A., but Proposals Fail to Impress Protesters."

Thus, these sell-outs are working hard to destroy the Republicans' base, but will not mollify a single anti-gun voter in return.

So, again, please contact your Senators and urge them to OPPOSE every word of gun control.

And remind them that they should be repealing gun free zones ... arming teachers and principals who want to carry ... and enacting concealed carry reciprocity!

Support the Second Amendment -- no infringements

You took an oath to "solemnly swear (or affirm)" that you would "support and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Well, the last part of the Second Amendment says that "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

Can you promise to me that you will uphold your oath of office in defending those words without "infringement"?

Sadly, I hear that the Senate is considering:

* A Trojan Horse bump stock ban which will open the door to restrictions on other things, including magazines and semi-autos.

* A background checks on steroids that would send millions of decent citizens into the NICS system.

* Firearm confiscation orders, where police, relatives, neighbors, or government officials can get a secret (ex parte) order to take away people's guns.

I hope that you will look at Gun Owners of America's article which explains the problems with all these provisions in depth: https://www.gunowners.org/senate-lea...epeal-acts.htm

The real answer lies in repealing gun free zones and arming teachers and principals who want to carry!
