OFF ALERT 01.27.11 "Republican " Gun Control On the Horizon?
In spite of the hand wringing from the freedom haters in the
gun ban movement, it would be a mistake to assume that more
gun control on a national level is a dead issue.
Numerous sources are reporting that Obama will "address
the issue" of tightening
gun control laws, almost certainly by ratcheting up already
failed laws like the Brady Bill and the NRA endorsed "NICS
Improvement Act. " No doubt magazine bans and a re-introduction
of the semi-auto ban will be in the mix.
There is reason to believe that the Republicans
may be on board.
The "improvements" in the NICS Improvement Act
appear to be, as we predicted, more denials and delays for qualified
gun owners and no increased obstacles for nut-cases like the
shooter in Tucson.
Here in Oregon, as a result of HB
2853, a bill which forced us into compliance with the ill-conceived
NRA/Brady Bill supported HR 2640, we are already seeing
the predicted failure of the bill and faulty records are costing
people their rights and more.
Oregon has 7 members of Congress. Two Senators and 5 House Members.
It's safe to say that 6 of them (including NRA endorsed Kurt
Schrader) will support any demented scheme Obama proposes. With
our own legislature returning on Feb. 1st we expect to see a
plenty of anti-gun legislation introduced. It is still our intention
to play offense, but it's essential that you be prepared to
respond immediately to any threat. We'll keep you informed.
