OPERATION FLOODGATES: Call, Write and Email your reps NOW!

[TheLom]

This is a repost from another forum:

So, we now know what the pending legislation proposed by Diane Feinstein is, check here if you don't http://www.feinstein.senate.gov/publ...ssault-weapons

Do you want your ARs banned? AKs Banned? Do you want big brother knowing where your "rifles" are so they know who to take them from when they see fit? Do you want to destroy thousands of private sector American Jobs? I could literally go on and on about the NEGATIVE aspects of this bill, but I think it's more prudent to outline what we can do to fight it.

So, this is why we have this sub and this is why we MUST contact our reps and let them know that this WILL NOT stand or go unnoticed if passed.

Here is what you can do:

Locate your reps here - http://www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml

EDIT - here is a one stop click to email all your reps at once http://www.congress.org/congressorg/...26&type=ML

The fight is here and it's up to EVERY gun owner to stop this madness before we have our rights taken away.

Here is the exact letter I am sending to my reps, feel free to copypasta.

Hello,

I live in (MY AREA) and am writing you to encourage you to OPPOSE any gun legislation that would further erode our second amendment rights. Diane Feinstein is going to propose a reinstated Assault Weapons Ban that will destroy thousands of American jobs in the firearms sector, waste Government resources attempting to institute a National Firearm Registry, and bloat governments reach further into law abiding citizens lives.

Gun control has been proven in cities like Chicago to be ineffective and will only cause harm to legal gun owners. I would like to link you to this article that polled random people in America, including non gun owners, and determined that over %51 polled DID NOT support an Assault Weapons Ban.

I would also like to remind you that in the wake of the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban, voters turned out in record numbers to vote out the Democratic majority that passed the law under President Clinton. I ask you to remember the voice of your constituents and see reason - an Assault Weapons Ban is NOT going to help our country and several studies have shown that the previous ban had ZERO affect on crime.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal...ffect_on_crime

"In 2004, a research report submitted to the United States Department of Justice and the National Institute of Justice found that should the ban be renewed, its effects on gun violence would likely be small, and perhaps too small for reliable measurement, because rifles in general, including rifles referred to as "assault rifles" or "assault weapons", are rarely used in gun crimes."

In conclusion, Feinstein's ban will destroy private sector American jobs, disenfranchise the voting public and lead to a further distrust in our Governments ability to effectively run our nation. A vote for this Assault Weapons Ban will result in me personally rallying support for your opponent in any further election and devoting ALL of my time and resources towards a more constitutionally friendly candidate.
