Senate to Take Up Anti-Gun Legislation Soon!

The U.S. Senate has announced that anti-gun legislation will be heard on the floor next week.  While that could change at any time, right now it means that your Second Amendment freedoms are on the chopping block, and you need to take immediate action to save them.

Senators are scheduled to vote on a so-called "universal background check" bill being pushed by lifelong anti-gun zealot, Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y).  Schumer's bill--S. 374, the "Fix Gun Checks Act of 2013"-- would criminalize virtually all private firearm sales, even temporary transfers, making you a criminal if you simply transfer a firearm to an aunt, uncle, cousin or lifelong friend without the federal government's approval.  Even worse, President Barack Obama's Justice Department says that Schumer's bill will only be effective if it's coupled with mandatory gun registration.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein's (D-Calif.) gun and magazine ban legislation (S. 150) will not be a part of the Senate's base gun control bill, but the Senate previously announced that Feinstein will be allowed to offer her legislation as an amendment.

Feinstein's legislation, which proposes to ban nearly every semi-automatic shotgun and detachable-magazine semi-automatic rifle, several other categories of firearms, and any ammunition magazine holding 11 or more rounds, will not be included in the Senate's gun control bill at the outset, out of concern that it would decrease the chance of Schumer's legislation being approved.

Don't be fooled.  This legislation isn't about making Americans safer; it's about forwarding an anti-gun agenda that seeks to restrict firearm ownership in America--as much as they can, however they can, and as soon as they can.

Please act now!  Call both of your U.S. Senators TODAY and tell them to vote "NO" on Schumer's "universal background check" bill.  To identify and contact your legislators in Washington, D.C., you can use the "Write Your Reps" feature at www.NRAILA.org, or you can reach your member of Congress by phone at 202-224-3121.

Democratic Socialists Infiltrate the 111th Congress 2009




This Document also includes the philosophy of the Democratic Socialist Party in the United States.  Their globalist agenda and redistribution of wealth from the wealth counties of the world to the poorer countries.  Their felling on "free speech" as long this is no dissent.

This is an informative document a must read for any patriot.  I'm learning a lot from this.
