Washington, DC –-(Ammoland.com)- Tell them Gun Owners oppose “universal” background checks.

“Gun-control measures that seemed destined to become law after the school shootings in Newtown, Conn., are in jeopardy amid a fierce lobbying campaign by firearms advocates.” – The Washington Post, April 1, 2013

We realize that you have been receiving several alerts from Gun Owners of America in recent days. And while we apologize for filling your to-do list so frequently, we hope you realize that we are in an all-out fight to stop Congress from infringing upon our liberties.

Your activism is making a difference, but we need to keep the pressure on!

As so, as we approach “gun control Armageddon” next week, we are faced, not surprisingly, with “sell-outs and rumors of sell-outs.”

But we can conclude that all gun control will die UNLESS Republicans flinch. And this is why, now that anti-gun Senator Chuck Schumer is on the verge of a humiliating defeat, he’s scrambling for some feckless Republican who will help him turn GOP victory into GOP defeat.

Anti-gun columnist Ruth Marcus spoke for Schumer last Wednesday morning when she suggested that, as a desperation measure, anti-gunners might have to drop record-keeping from the universal registry bill.

But even if ALL record-keeping were dropped, which is doubtful, background checks would mean that:

  • Americans would still have to get the government’s permission to own a firearm from whatever source.
  • Americans in rural areas without access to the Internet could be barred from gun ownership.
  • The Brady Check system would break down on weekends even more often than it currently does.
  • Eight percent of all applicants would still be illegally denied the right to purchase firearms through “false negatives.”
  • Schumer would still claim that he “broke the back of the gun lobby.”
  • The universal registry bill would still be nothing but a vehicle for consideration of other gun control now – and a platform for gun control demands in the future.

The solution to all of this is easy, and it’s for Senators to support the Paul-Cruz-Lee filibuster! Tell them not to let Congress sidle up to the gun control buffet and to defeat the motion to proceed to gun control.

ACTION: Click here to contact your Senators. Demand they support the Paul-Cruz-Lee filibuster and oppose the motion to proceed to any gun control vehicle.

They have already “sold out” to the Elite.

Just when I thought the GOP was demolished after the Obama Re-election, Yes, the Democrats were riding high, but soon blew all their political capital on this Anti-Gun attempt to regulate the 2nd Amendment. And in the end all they will be able to muster up may be a ban on high capacity squirt guns from being shot indoors. It is amusing watching these political hacks whimpering back in their corners with their tails between their legs. They woke up a whole new segment of the American Populace, including their own gun-loving democrats, who they have now alienated. The Barn… Read more »

This is crunch week. It will make or break the back or gun control or us. Time to make a real stand. Does not matter how many times you have emailed your congress, Republican or Democrat. Do it this week and do it often. Tell them their career is over if they vote for gun control. That plane and simple. And no matter who they are, if they don’t have a clear cut support of guns, even if they are forced to vote for guns to save their careers, come next election, they need to go. We don’t need to… Read more »
