NRA/ Brady Campaign Gun Control Bill Passes Senate and House
UPDATE. SELL OUT COMPLETED.
As was predicted by our friends at the National Association For Gun RIghts, the Senate chose this busy time, when they hoped no one was paying attention, to ram through the NRA and Brady Campaign supported gun grab, HR 2640.
As we have told you, this bill will vastly expand the failed Brady background checks, which are already denying countless legitimate gun purchases.
In a press release issued today, the anti-gun “Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence” said “We commend the United States Senate for its action today to strengthen the Brady background check system by passing the “NICS Improvement Act of 2007′ (H.R. 2640).”
The Nation Rifle Association is now firmly in bed with the most militant gun grabbers in the country. While we have seen no press releases yet from NRA…
The NRA has issued this press release. The NRA and the Brady Campaign are now issueing press releases praising the same bill. If this does not give you chills, you are not paying attention.
…it is clear that they now have allied themselves with the people who have called for a complete elimination of privately owned semi-automatic firearms and countless other attacks on the Second Amendment.
As we write this, we do not have vote counts on the bill. We will post them as soon as they become available.
The bill now goes back to the House for concurrence with the Senate version. As you know, the bill originally sailed through the House on an unrecorded voice vote. The only “no” vote we know of was from Congressman (and Presidential candidate) Ron Paul.
Our last chance to kill this outrageous NRA gun grab is back in the House.
Contact info for your House member can be found here. Your House member will be the third person listed after your US Senators.
Please contact them with the simple message, “The NRA and Sarah Brady DON’T speak for me. Vote NO on HR 2640.”
There may not be much time. The bill has already been sent back to the House and if the Senate’s actions are any indication, this might get acted on before Christmas.
Please contact your Congressman right now,and if you have not already done so, please consider making a ution to our political action committee.
Too late. The House concurred in the Senate Amendments tonight. The NRA/Sarah Brady gun grab now goes to the George Bush for his signature.
(Save this alert. When this bill prevents thousands of legitimate gun purchases, the NRA will be swearing they had nothing to do with it.)
