Gun Banners Have Reached a Turning Point – Pouring Out of the Closet

Catalina, AZ –-(Ammoland.com)- The recent murders of 20 children and 6 adults at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, are being heavily exploited by the Obama administration and their allies in Congress to deprive us of our right to bear arms.

Immediately following the Newtown tragedy, President Obama announced that gun control will be a top priority of his second term (in stark contrast to his campaign rhetoric).

Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA), author of the “Assault Weapons” ban of 1994, has announced she will file an even more draconian, and permanent, gun control bill that she has been working on for the last year (i.e., that is code talk for just waiting for the opportunity to capitalize on a public tragedy).

This bill will encompass nearly all semi-automatic firearms in existence, including handguns, forbid their manufacture, require registration of any existing firearms, and prevent their transfer, even among family members.

You can find Sen. Feinstein’s summary of her legislation here: https://tiny.cc/azh9pw

This is a critical juncture for those who realize that to fundamentally transform this country as they promised, it is necessary to have unarmed subjects, not armed citizens, to implement their vision. If the Progressives in Congress, and their sycophants in the mainstream media, can swing public opinion and get their opponents in Congress to roll over, this will be a major victory for them, and the beginning of the end for the Second Amendment. While AzCDL’s focus has always been, first and foremost, on Arizona legislation, we have now joined with other state organizations to actively support the defeat of any federal legislation that threatens our right to bear arms.

Meanwhile, the Obama Administration’s frenzy to disarm us at the federal level will definitely echo in Arizona. We are expecting Progressives in the legislature to file bills in the 2013 session that will both mirror federal gun bans and attempt to roll-back the freedoms we have all fought hard for during the last 7 years: https://www.azcdl.org/html/accomplishments.html .

What they accomplish depends on how willing you are to stop them.

AzCDL’s success at the Arizona Legislature in continuing to restore our right to bear arms, while defeating attempts to make Arizona gun laws look like those in Illinois, New York or California, is dependent on your involvement. Not actively participating is the same as supporting those who want to take away your rights.

Membership donations allow us to purchase powerful tools that enable YOU to make a difference. Chief among these is our Legislative Action Center (https://capwiz.com/azcdl/home/). As bills progress we will send out Legislative Alerts via email. Many of those Alerts will have a link to our Legislative Action Center where a letter has been prepared and is waiting for you to email to committee members or your legislators. You can write your own letter or send what we prepare. Sending your email takes less than a minute and only a few mouse clicks.

The letters you send from AzCDL’s Legislative Action Center can mean the difference between a bill passing or failing. Conversely, doing nothing, or relying on others to do the work for you, is acceptance of defeat.

The 2013 Arizona Legislative session officially convenes on Monday, January 14th. Our legislative alerts will primarily initiate from our Legislative Action Center. AzCDL members are already subscribed. Members of federal and local law enforcement, the media, anti-rights groups, and other lurkers monitoring AzCDL activity via our public Yahoo email list are also welcome to subscribe to our Legislative Action Center alerts: https://capwiz.com/azcdl/home/ .

These alerts are a project of the Arizona Citizens Defense League (AzCDL), an all-volunteer, non-profit, non-partisan grassroots organization: https://www.azcdl.org/h tml/membership.html

About:
AzCDL believes that the emphasis of gun laws should be on criminal misuse and that law-abiding citizens should be able to own and carry firearms unaffected by unnecessary laws or regulations. AzCDL was founded by a group of local activists who recognized that a sustained, coordinated, statewide effort was critical to protecting and expanding the rights of law-abiding gun owners. As a like-minded coalition of activists, the AzCDL founders were instrumental in the successful passage of the first major improvement to Arizona’s CCW (concealed carry) laws since they were instituted in 1994.

What are the real reasons behind gun control? See youtu.be/7ilJVXCXP9g

With the passage of the Nuremburg Laws in 1935, the German government essentially stripped over 500,000 people (mostly Jews) of their Rights within their Constitution with the stroke of a pen. It’s ironic that Dianne Feinstein’s new anti-Second Amendment bill she’s introducing will strip the Rights from over one third of our (300+ million) Citizens over night. So, where the Nazi regime merely stripped 7.5% of Germany’s population of their Rights (and we see where that led), the Obama regime, using Feinstein as the ‘sharp edge of their sword’ intends to strip 35% of Americans of their Rights in one… Read more »

well, I had always thought that what is happening WOULD happen, but after I was long dead. It would appear that this is not to be. I have had a re-occurring dream. in this dream, I am lying on my back, with sharp pain areas in both my chest and stomach areas. there is blood in my mouth, and I am passing into death, to continue the journey. I can't help but remember that part in the BIble where it states something along the lines of "your young men will see visions and your old men will dream drams." close… Read more »

Gene Wallace, you know you hurt us, not help us, maybe thats your plan. But when you throw in racial epithets, things like calling obama a monkey into the dialogue, you take away from anyone here being considered to have a reasonable opinion. Adding fuel to the fire for the liberals, hence why I think maybe your a troll or a liberal trying to make us look bad. I mean, we can't just be Americans looking to protect our rights, we must be racists right?

Jh…I couldn't agree with ya more…that monkey in the White house needs to go

Blood yes, soon, this guy in the white house is evil just like the evil in 1930's, we over came all this evil, now it is inside our borders. If we shed blood, better than being picked up at night by the DHS and never seen again, this will come soon, we are, after this last sham of an election, living under a Marxist dictator. Death or Gulag,eh?
