USA -(Ammoland.com)- When Hillary Clinton lost her election over a year ago to President Donald Trump, you may have assumed that our gun rights were secure for the foreseeable future.
Maybe you thought that we could finally pass some pro-gun bills in D.C. for a change.
But that was before the Las Vegas and Texas shootings.
As the demand for gun control reached a fevered pitch, Republican Senator John Cornyn (TX) teamed up with radical gun-grabber Diane Feinstein (CA) to unveil a massive gun control bill late last week!
Let me tell you, the liberal media and Bloomberg funded front-groups could not be happier to see a bi-partisan gun control bill on the move.
Senator Mike Crapo sits on the Judiciary Committee that is going to hear this gun control bill — and he’ll be voting for it or against it going to the full Senate!
And if the bill makes it through the committee, then Senator Jim Risch will need to know that you oppose this latest gun control scheme.
Both of their contact information is below.
You see, using the recent mass shootings as political cover, the Feinstein/Cornyn bill would create a massive and ever-growing database of gun owners for the first time, by requiring states to centralize their records under a federal umbrella!
You’re going to be told that this has to be done, in order to allow the feds to limit mentally deranged people from accessing guns.
But we all know what a joke that is.
The shooter at the Orlando night club last year passed his NICS check — and waited days to pick up his gun — before killing 49 people.
The shooter in Las Vegas passed his NICS check too, before gunning down 58 people.
Before killing 9 people in a Charleston, SC church in 2015, Dylan Roof also passed his NICS check and legally purchased a firearm.
I could go on and on as the Navy Yard shooter, the Fort Hood shooter, the man who shot former Congresswoman Giffords, and many others who did so AFTER they passed their NICS checks.
Clearly federal and state level gun control has done little to stop dangerous people from buying firearms and committing mass murder — and that’s only the people who tried to go through the background checks in the first place!
As we all know, many criminals simply steal their firearms from family or others, as was the case with the Sandy Hook shooter and other killers.
So increasing the number of records in this massive federal database will do nothing to stop committed criminals.
Nothing.
But it will give Diane Feinstein and her allies an absolutely massive list of gun owners in America, a list that can and will be used against gun owners down the road.
When Connecticut passed a sweeping gun control package in 2013, they used their state database to demand gun owners surrender certain types of firearms.
The same thing happened in New York and California.
But if the Feinstein/Cornyn bill passes through Chuck Grassley’s committee –- this radical East and West coast gun control will be law right here in Idaho, too!
And don’t forget just how often the federal NICS system is already used to deny law abiding people their gun rights by mistake.
As numerous reports have documented, over 250,000 veterans have had their gun rights stripped away because their name was added to the NICS system for almost no reason at all!
Many were placed in NICS for things as petty as having a fiduciary manage their financial affairs!
The NICS system was a mistake when first passed into law, it clearly does not stop violent crime, and is used to deny gun rights to people who have done nothing wrong –- the last thing we should do is strengthen it!
That’s why it’s urgent that you contact Idaho’s Senators Crap or Risch and insist that they oppose the Feinstein/Cornyn gun control bill at every turn!

Gun-grabbers like Diane Feinstein and her pals in D.C. likely never dreamed that they would be able to advance gun control once Hillary Clinton lost.
But with Republicans like Senator Cornyn and numerous others publicly championing the bill, this is a very serious threat — which is why I hope you’ll take immediate action!
And when you’re done, please help the Idaho Second Amendment Alliance get the word out about this, and prepare for the 2018 legislative session by renewing your membership right away!

P.S. Late last week, notorious gun-grabber Diane Feinstein unveiled her latest gun control bill, supposedly designed to stop mentally deranged people from buying guns.
But as we’ve seen time and time again, almost every recent mass shooting in this country took place AFTER the shooter passed a NICS check –- demonstrating their utter futility!
In reality, Feinstein and her pals are using the recent tragedies as an excuse to create a massive national database of gun owners!
Worse, Feinstein has the support of numerous Republicans like Senator John Cornyn (TX) and Tim Scott (SC), meaning that this bill is a very real threat!
With Senator Mike Crapo sitting on the Judiciary Committee that will hear and vote on this bill, and with Senator Risch being
a crucial vote in the full Senate, we need every vote we can get to stop this bill.
So please contact BOTH OF THEM right away, and insist that they oppose this bill at every turn!
When you’re done, if you’ve not yet done so, please renew your membership in the Idaho Second Amendment Alliance right away!

THIS BILL CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO PASS !!!
IT IS NOTHING BUT A GUN GRAB DISCISED AS A GUN CONTROL BILL TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC FROM EACH OTHER. NOT VRAZY PEOPLE. VEGAS SHOOTING WAS A GOVERNMENT SET UP. WE ALL KNOW THIS.
Bye, bye, John. You have just lost my vote and the same holds true for anyone that votes as you do on gun control.
The bad thing is Senator john Cornyn is not up for re-election until 2020. We need term limits on our US Senators and on our US House of Representatives. The only way this will get done is getting 3/4 of the states called Convention Of The States to implement term limits. The Senate and House of Rep. is not going to mandate term limits on themselves. Also something to think about San Francisco.ca has closed up it last gun shop there due yo all the regulation placed on them by the state of California and since then crime has gone… Read more »
There is an inherent problem with trying to keep guns out of the hands of those with mental health diagnosis. That is the HIPAA law. No medical institution of any type is allowed to report that condition to anyone without the prior consent of the patient. Therefore, it relies on the individual themselves to report treatment. Does any of the rights under the Bill of Rights (outside of the 2nd amendment) require folks report their health conditions in order to be “allowed” to exercise those rights. Is there any right under the Bill of Rights (outside of the 2nd Amendment)… Read more »
@ the other Jim, a response from Corny such as the one you received is, pretty much, guaranteed there are things in there that we won’t like and as someone said if Grandma Findstein is involved we know it is fishy.
@tomcat, yes, it is what is hidden in this bill we won’t like…more infringement on the law abiding’s 2nd. Amendment Rights if Feinstein is involved. I sent Cornyn an e-mail asking him why a NICS addition is needed, and what is being added and why S446 Reciprocity which he introduced on 2/27/2017 is sitting stagnant. He didn’t answer any of my questions. Here is his response below: “Thank you for contacting Senator John Cornyn’s office. If you need immediate assistance regarding an urgent or time sensitive matter you are personally experiencing with a federal agency, please call my Dallas office… Read more »
On the surface it sounds like Corny is just trying to get the NCIS to do their job and the states to do there’s. Why does it take another law to get the job done that was already a law? What is hidden in the depths of this that we won’t like? So many questions, so few answers. You can rarely believe a politician is telling you the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Texas will take a microscope to corney and S.C. needs to see where their youngest RINO, Tim Scott, headed.The group that needs replaced is growing… Read more »
Feinstein is too dumb to write this crap herself…”her” 1994 mess was written by that uncontested dumbass Joe Biden
After chores and breakfast I was bored so I called Crapo’s office and voiced my opposition. Can’t call Risch, as he is not my senator. Can’t call Corny, my senator, he helped write the bill. What is Chuck Grassley’s office telephone number?
Let the Libtards keep pushing, cause when they finally push enough they will have caused a Civil War. Which this country is in dire need of. Once that starts we can then round up all the Libtarded whiny cry baby drama god nosy can’t mind their own Fing business government anus sucking idolizing sheeple cowards and load them on ships with a free one way ticket to China or any other country that has there dream Communist/Nazi wannabe/Terrorist ran system and we can finally take back and restore the FREEDOM and RIGHTS of AMERICA.
