URGENT: Congressional Republicans to double-cross gun owners? (VCDL Alert)
I read this on another site:
*****************
Many of you may remember Richmond talk show host, Doc Thompson. He currently has a radio show in Michigan. Much like me, he gets some "inside" information from time-to-time.
He has received a communication between a friend and someone in the Republican Party leadership. That communication is troubling as it says the congressional Republicans are seriously considering selling out gun owners to "seem reasonable."
They are considering a magazine ban, changes to background checks, and more.
Here is a link to the email with redactions to protect the sources:

URGENT ACTION ITEM
We need to contact ALL of our members of Congress and let them know that NO MORE GUN CONTROL OF ANY SORT WILL BE ACCEPTABLE and that we WILL be watching how they vote on our rights !
This is URGENT and we need every one of you to do your part NOW. Feinstein is trying to rush through her gun control bill and time is CRITICAL. To be as effective as possible, let's both call and send them webmail.
As always, be polite, but firm.
Forward this email to friends, family, and put it on other gun lists that have Virginia members!
If you don't know who your Congressman is, click here and enter your 9-digit zip code in the upper righthand corner (such as 22122-2107). If you only know your 5-digit zip code, enter that and you will be prompted to enter your home address, later:

Webmail:
Suggested subject: Second Amendment (or if no such choice, "other")
Suggested message:
As a constituent I expect you to protect my right to keep and bear arms. Reject ALL gun control, including, but not limited to:
* Gun bans of any sort * Bans on magazines or other gun accessories * Taxes on ammunition * Background checks on private sales of firearms * Restrictions on purchase, transfer, carry, discharge, or storage of firearms * Restrictions, burdens, or additional requirements on firearms dealers, gun shows, hunt clubs or firing ranges * Creation of any more "gun-free zones" (we need to eliminate all such existing zones)
I will be watching your votes on gun control carefully and you will lose my support if you support any more gun control.

Re: URGENT: Congressional Republicans to double-cross gun owners? (VCDL Alert)
I said it on another thread - the Republicans cannot appear to be obstructing the "do something, so something to save the children!" wave. They WILL vote for something. Not all of them, not by a long shot, but it only takes a couple dozen to cross the aisle. In the end, those that have to worry about the conservative base will get to vote "no" and those that have strong enough support to "do something to save the children!" will vote for it. The only question is what will "something" look like in the fine print.

Best tactic is the one the NRA is pursuing to "save the children".
They seem to be working at the local level to get School Security instituted. If they can get security set up in enough schools so that it is practical and functional, then they will have a much stronger position to stop any AWB.
The NRA is the only organization with any chance of keeping Republican politicians in line. They will have a much better chance with higher membership numbers to show them. Try to get as much of your family and friends signed up with the NRA as you can.

If I have learned one thing over the last 4 years, is that this administration seems to get things done no matter how improbable it may seem. I firmly believe they are running our country like the mafia. How else would you get Justice Thomas to do a 180 on Obamacare?
What they cant legislate comes via executive order.
Sorry to have such a negative outlook, but I fear we are going to see unprecedented losses in freedom and liberty very soon. All I can do it write and call my officials, hope and pray that the true patriots in our government and military step up when needed.
