Update on Federal Gun Magazine Ban Scheme
The politicians are feeling the pain.

Virginia Gun Owners Coalition

Virginia --(Ammoland.com)- State level gun lobbies all over the country in league with the National Association for Gun Rights have been pounding the switchboards to stop sneak gun control efforts by the anti-gun Democrats.

Word is that Harry Reid is furious that the Republicans are trying to amend repeal of Obama Care onto other bills and that in payback he is allowing his anti-gun Dems to amend bills with gun control.

The rumors of a secret scheme to sneak Carolyn McCarthy’s Magazine Ban into law inside the Federal Aviation Administration Bill are more and more widespread.

Not only that, but now Senate staffers are claiming that none other than notorious anti-gun Senator Dick Durbin wants to sneak more than the magazine ban into law with this latest scheme.

If they succeed in amending the FAA bill with the Magazine Ban, word is they’ll do the exact same thing with a number of other unconstitutional gun control measures.

That’s why you and I need to CONTINUE to make our voices heard RIGHT NOW!

We need to let them know we’re watching them like a hawk!

Please call your Senators.

Make sure they know about this scheme and that they must oppose Carolyn McCarthy’s Magazine Ban, and all gun control for that matter, at every step of the way whether it’s attached as an amendment or not.

And make sure they know you’re STILL watching.

Thanks for joining the fight.

Political Action Needed On Guns in Virgina

Virginia Gun Owners Coalition

Virginia --(Ammoland.com)- As I sat in the Senate gallery last Thursday I watched an amazing thing.

Even Democrats rose to protest their anti-gun Dem Party boss Senator Richard Saslaw’s outrageous decision to send all controversial legislation to a Senate sub-committee to die without a full Senate recorded floor vote and generally not even a committee vote.

This growing frustration at Saslaw’s brazen willingness to trash Senate tradition and policy may give us an opening.

After meeting with a few conservative Republican Senators to plan strategy I now need you to start pressuring your Senators to force recorded floor votes.

Until the February 8th crossover date, the day the Senate can only hear House bills to the end of the session in March, our only focus is the Castle Doctrine bill.

After February 8th, we will need to focus on Constitutional Carry, Gun Owners Due Process, and Firearms 10th Amendment Freedom Act.

But right now if you do not know who your Senator is click the following link and find out.

ACTION: Please send them the message below. Then call them and email them AND KEEP DOING IT ONCE A DAY UNTIL THEY give a decisive answer.

If they say “NO”, don’t take “NO” for an answer. Argue back that they have a duty to do the right thing.

Even if Senator Obenshain is not your Senator, please send him the message also.

You see, Senator Mark Obenshain wants to be your Lt. Governor in 2013 and will be VERY receptive to your effort to find out of he is a leader or just another party hack looking to move up.

Obenshain’s email is district26@senate.virginia.gov and his phone number is 804 698 7526 Obenshain is our best shot at getting this done, but he is sitting on the fence trying to guage the political winds.

If he thinks his state-wide election effort will be in jeopardy if he sits on the side lines, he will have motivation to lead.

Below is the message:

—————————–

Dear Senator NAME HERE

Gun owners need leaders in Richmond, not followers.

It is outrageous that one anti-gun Senator, Richard Saslaw, will not allow a full Senate floor vote on the Castle Doctrine Bill.

It is beyond contempt for the voters. How can we hold you accountable if you won’t even vote on the bill.

Please move to suspend the rules on the Senate floor and then move to discharge the Castle Doctrine Bill to provide a full Senate floor recorded vote.

A vote “NO” on suspending the rules, will be viewed as a vote to kill Castle Doctrine at election time.

YOUR NAME
