Faced with a Collapse of America's Health System, Schumer Pushes ... More Gun Control

 

Urgent alert: Gun vote could come as soon as Monday in the House

 

http://cqrcengage.com/gunowners/app/write-a-letter?6&engagementId=33539

 

With 80,000,000 Americans poised to lose their employer-provided insurance plans, what would you think the Senate's number three Democrat, Chuck Schumer, is now poised to cram down Republicans' quivering throats? 

 

ANSWER:  More gun control.

 

ACTION:  Email your Representative and Senators, and demand that they oppose Chuck Schumer's gun ban.  

And if you can call House offices today, all the better -- given that the House leadership is considering bringing up the renewal of the plastic gun ban very soon. You can call your Representative at 202-225-3121.

Democrats Using Gun Control to Get Focus off ObamaCare

and using Brady Law Anniversary to pressure GOP

http://cqrcengage.com/gunowners/app/write-a-letter?0&engagementId=33473

 

“We are going to finish the job and pass background checks and then move on and do other things we have to do to get guns off the streets and stop gun violence.” -- Senator Chuck Schumer, November 13, 2013

 

Don’t let them get away with it.

 

Democrats on Capitol Hill want to change the subject, but we can’t let them do it.

 

The anti-gun aspects of ObamaCare haven’t even been fully implemented yet because the entire “health care” rollout has been imploding -- and it’s taking a huge toll on the President.

Democrats are trying to “deflect public attention from a disaster of their own making [on ObamaCare] by shifting the subject to gun control.”

They’re hoping to pressure Republicans on the 20-year anniversary of the Brady Law.  (November 30 marks the anniversary when President Clinton signed the bill into law.)

The Hill reports, “Democrats argue that enough pressure on House GOP leaders would return the topic [of gun control] to prominence.”

You can’t blame them.  As support for ObamaCare continues to plummet -- and the President’s approval rating along with it -- many Democrats are scrambling to get the mainstream media to cover any other topic.

 

Their first choice is to return to their tired ole gun control agenda like the Toomey-Manchin background checks (for private gun buyers) in the Senate or the identical Thompson-King bill (HR 1565) in the House.  These are unconstitutional and should never see the light of day.

 

Their second plan to distract the American public is to blow up the Senate rules -- abolishing the filibuster where federal judges are concerned -- so that Democrats can pack the courts with liberal, anti-gunners who will uphold ObamaCare.  Majority Leader Harry Reid successfully accomplished this yesterday, claiming it was necessary because Republicans were supposedly causing gridlock. 

You can see that critical Senate vote here, where YEA was the pro-gun, pro-freedom vote to maintain the filibuster.

 

Finally, Democrats plan to craft small temporary one-year “fixes” for the health care law in order to fool enough Americans into reelecting senators who were the “deciding votes” on ObamaCare:

 

 

ACTION:  Urge your Representative and Senators to ignore calls for gun control or to settle for a temporary one year ObamaCare “fix.”  Demand that they repeal this anti-gun travesty and stop trying to change the subject to supporting gun control.

H.R. 3590, The SHARE Act of 2013, includes several important updates and changes that would positively impact American sportsmen.  If enacted, this legislation would protect traditional lead based ammunition used by hunters.  The legislation would also allow polar bear trophies legally harvested before the importation ban to be imported into the United States.  Additionally, many provisions in this legislation would remove burdensome restrictions, such as opening additional land access for hunting and fishing and allowing for firearms to be legally carried on land managed by the Army Corps of Engineers.  Similar legislation to H.R. 3590 passed the U.S. House of Representatives in the 112th Congress by an overwhelming bipartisan vote of 274-146. 

 

H.R. 2959, The National Right to Carry Reciprocity Act, would allow any person with a valid concealed carry permit to carry a concealed firearm in any other state that issues concealed firearm permits or does not prohibit the carrying of concealed firearms.  A state's laws governing where concealed firearms may be carried would still apply to all within its borders.  Similar legislation to H.R. 2959 passed the U.S. House of Representatives in the 112th Congress by an overwhelming bipartisan vote of 272-154.

Repeal ObamaCare

 

Petition to the United States Senate

Whereas:   The Congressional Budget Office projects that ObamaCare will cost taxpayers at least $1.8 trillion; and

Whereas:   America is currently in debt to the tune of 16 trillion dollars; and

Whereas:   ObamaCare forces taxpayers to purchase government mandated health insurance plans that we don’t want or even need; and

Whereas:   The House of Representatives has already voted to repeal ObamaCare.

Therefore: I urge you to do all you can to force and win a roll call vote in the Senate to repeal ObamaCare at once.

Obama Proposes Massive Gun Ban by Regulation 

 

GOA prepares legislation to block implementation

 

http://cqrcengage.com/gunowners/app/write-a-letter?1&engagementId=36020&ep=AAAAC2Flc0NpcGhlcjAxXUYU8RiObkkVtP_WxjDhOgRBH4zMgczkFEMzqa78NHzpGrZCKfaBgM-3cUgB_KZV_s56JK2myrr3iMoRnbDguw&lp=0

 

 

In a “Friday media dump” designed to conceal its actions by releasing them after the press has left town, the Obama administration last week announced its intention to push two regulations which would massively expand the federal gun bans imposed on Americans.

“SEE A SHRINK; LOSE YOUR GUNS”

 

The first proposal -- from HHS -- would effectively say that federal health privacy laws (HIPAA) do not apply to the Second Amendment.

This isn’t the first time Obama has stuck his leering eyeballs into Americans’ medical records and private affairs.  From its Orwellian government database on Americans’ health records to its voracious seizure of Americans’ phone records, the Obama administration can’t trample our personal privacy fast enough.

 

But HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius’ efforts to turn over personal mental health information to the government’s gun ban blacklist (NICS) is particularly loathsome.

Not to be outdone in the Sebelius/Holder “Mutt and Jeff act,” Attorney General Eric Holder -- currently being pursued for contempt of Congress -- intends to seize guns from persons subject to “outpatient commitments (even without a court order) (and) ... someone (deemed by some bureaucrat to be) lacking mental responsibility or deemed insane...”

 

More than 150,000 law-abiding veterans have already lost their constitutional rights -- with no due process whatsoever -- because they consulted a VA therapist about a traumatic incident in Iraq, Afghanistan, or the Balkans.

Under these new regulations, tens of millions of police and firemen with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder -- or people who, as kids, were diagnosed with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder -- could lose their constitutional rights without any court order, merely because they sought a benefit under a federal program.

Republicans Pressing Reid to Delay the Anti-gun ObamaCare Mandate

Your action needed immediately

http://cqrcengage.com/gunowners/app/write-a-letter?1&engagementId=36324&lp=0

 

It’s what GOA has been calling for.  We’ve been begging Republicans to use any and every bill that comes before the Senate and to offer a repeal or delay of the ObamaCare mandate as an amendment.

 

And yesterday, Senator Mitch McConnell did just that.

 

McConnell proposed a Unanimous Consent agreement that would allow Obama's unemployment insurance extension to move forward -- if REID WOULD SIMPLY GUARANTEE A VOTE ON DELAYING THE ANTI-GUN OBAMACARE MANDATE.

 

NOTE:  There are six Republican Senators who voted with Harry Reid to overcome the filibuster, thus weakening McConnell’s hand to force an anti-ObamaCare vote.  They are Kelly Ayotte (NH), Dan Coats (IN), Sue Collins (ME), Dean Heller (NV), Lisa Murkowski (AK) and Rob Portman (OH).

 

ACTION:  Call or write your Senators.  Have your wife and kids call your senators.  Have your neighbors and church members call your senators.  Have your dog call your senator.  Tell them to oppose cloture on the unemployment bill until a vote is allowed on delaying the anti-gun ObamaCare mandate.

ObamaCare’s Anti-gun Bias Becomes

More and More Apparent

But Rubio proposal could serve as a poison pill

“Congress is moving closer to [passing] a bill which would require virtually every single American to buy government-approved health insurance, whether they wanted it or not.  And, in the process, that bill would feed all of your most confidential medical data into an enormous database, which could be used to take away your guns.” -- GOA Alert, April 2009 

 

The quickest way to put a stake through the heart of this ObamaCare vampire is to pass the Rubio proposal.  Once insurance companies are no longer engaged in a conspiracy of silence on behalf of ObamaCare -- because they realize Obama will no longer pay them $1 trillion of “hush money” -- ObamaCare collapses.

 

ACTION: Click Here to Contact your Senators. Ask them to cosponsor Senator Rubio's S. 1726 -- a bill that will help the anti-gun ObamaCare law to implode by repealing the bailout of millionaires and billionaires in the insurance companies.

The Next Big Gun Fight: Stopping 8 Million New Anti-gun Voters

 

“[A] Pew poll suggests that illegal immigrants, if given citizenship, would vote for liberal, anti-gun candidates by an 8-to-1 margin.” - GOA’s Erich Pratt, commenting on Pew poll findings as reported in The Washington Post (7/22/13)

 

Next Wednesday, the House Republican leadership will announce a set of "principles" for immigration reform.  Supposedly, if these "principles" are not well-received, the House will shelve the issue for the remainder of the year.

To be blunt:  The health of the Second Amendment relies on demolishing these "principles."

 

Immigration reform will add over 8,000,000 anti-gun voters to the voting rolls.  There may be as many as 11.5 million persons illegally in the United States.  And, a Pew poll from last year indicated that if illegal immigrants were given citizenship, they would vote for liberal, anti-gun candidates by an 8-to-1 margin. 

 

This is exactly what happened to California -- which was once a Red State.  Because of the Simpson-Mazzoli amnesty bill of 1986, the state lurched violently to the left and now can’t pass gun control restrictions fast enough.

 

If this were to happen at the national level, we would lose the ability to stop massive gun bans and gun registration schemes.  And all of this occurs at a time when a Fox poll shows the American people oppose Obama’s immigration policies by a margin of 36% to 54%. 

 

The first reality is this:  If the House passes ANYTHING, the Senate will tack on its amnesty bill and send it to conference.  And the national conversation will turn off of ObamaCare and onto immigration.

And guess what?  Every gun-hating institution which moved heaven and earth to pass gun control will move heaven and earth to get the House to retreat -- if not to a "pathway to citizenship," to a "pathway to legalization."

 

They will have created the biggest and most motivated Obama-loving movement in the country -- devoted to electing anti-gun politicians and retaining Harry Reid's control of the Senate.

What will Republicans get, in exchange for creating an army of pro-Obama election warriors?

Very little.  (Be sure to read GOA legislative counsel Michael Hammond’s analysis, which shows, in great detail, how the Republican leadership’s “principles” will end up back-firing on gun owners.)

The bottom line is that there is a reason why Barack Obama and his "puppet press" have been campaigning for a year to force the Republican House to wade into "immigration reform."  It is nothing but benefits for anti-gun politicians, and nothing but pain for pro-gun legislators. 

Who would be stupid enough to inflict that level of pain on themselves? 

 

ACTION:   Contact your Representative.  If he/she is a Republican, the pre-written letter will ask him to reject the ridiculous "immigration principles" being hawked by the leadership -- principles that will eventually destroy the pro-gun movement in America.  The pre-written letter for Democrats is a generic opposition letter.

 

ADMINISTRATIVE NOTE:  Remember that clicking on the first “submit” button on the GOA Engage site (where you input your name and address), only submits your information so that your correct legislators can be identified.  Hence, the first “submit” button does not actually send your letter.  Instead, it brings you to the next page where you can actually review the pre-written letter.  The second “submit” button actually sends the letter.

Boehner Working with Obama to Ambush House Republicans on Bloomberg-backed Immigration Changes

 

http://cqrcengage.com/gunowners/app/write-a-letter?2&engagementId=38944&lp=0

 

“Democrat control of Congress bodes well for oppressive gun laws, [and] a huge influx of newly legal voters from cultures where draconian government control over private firearm ownership is an unquestioned matter [helps]. Bloomberg can hardly be unaware of that.” -- The Examiner, January 29, 2014

 

And, Wednesday morning, shortly before 9:00, MSNBC commentator Dick Gregory announced that House Speaker John Boehner, the day before, had told a private meeting of reporters that he had been talking with Barack Obama "a lot" about pushing immigration reform.

 

It's pretty clear why Barack Obama wants a bill which would either legalize or grant citizenship to as many as 11.5 million people who, according to Latinos expressing their opinions in a Pew poll, would cast 88% of their votes for liberals like Barack Obama.

 

A note on why gun owners have "skin" in the immigration game: By turning a net 8,000,000 people into an "Obama army," even "legalization" without immediate citizenship would fundamentally change electoral politics for the 2014 elections.

 

This is why, along with gun control, former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has made immigration "reform" his central priority.

 

The anti-gun Bloomberg knows that "legalization" of persons unlawfully in the U.S. will create an "Obama army" which will transform the 2014 elections and achieve the almost impossible task of delivering the House and the Senate to the party of gun control. 

With Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid in power in 2015, the "Obama army" will then get their "citizenship" reward -- and gun control will advance.

 

Multiply this by a million, and you will understand the ramifications of giving Obama an anti-gun army, going into the 2014 elections.

 

ACTION:   Contact your Representative.  Tell him/her to stand up to House Speaker John Boehner at this weekend's "retreat" and to oppose the creation of an "Obama army." There are separate letters for Republican and Democrat Congressmen.  Based on your zip code, the correct letter will be automatically selected.

ANTI-GUN CRAZY NOMINATED AS SURGEON GENERAL

Today, in the appropriately named Senate HELP Committee (Health, Education, Labor, Pensions), Senators will hold hearings on the nomination of Vivek Murthy to be Surgeon General of the United States.

Make no mistake about it:  Murthy is an anti-gun fanatic.   Not only that, as Surgeon General, Murthy could channel huge amounts of taxpayer dollars to "junk science studies" intended to prove that guns should be banned.

Murthy is co-founder and president of Doctors for America, an Obama-linked organization which has gone to great lengths to push gun control.

Both Murthy’s personal assistant and press secretary are fellows at a Leftist "think tank" supported by financier George Soros.

The Twitter feed of @vivek_murthy leaves no doubt about how eager the Obama nominee is to restrict gun rights:

Just Say No to Debt Increases

Fax Petition to the United States Congress

 

Whereas:   The federal government has amassed an $86.8 trillion debt that threatens to topple the economy, bankrupt Social Security and Medicare, and condemn future generations to a lower standard of living; and

Whereas:   President Obama has shown no intention of fixing the United States’ finances, but is determined to add trillions more to the debt; and

Whereas:   The federal government can still spend more than $6.7 billion per day without increasing the debt ceiling one penny; and

Whereas:   All new government debt would instantly be stopped by simply defeating increases in the debt limit. Government would be forced to live within its means;

Therefore: In the interest of a sound economy and a fiscally sustainable future, I urge you to vote against any and all future increases to the debt ceiling.

***   Lowering Taxes. Raising taxes is not the solution to our country’s fiscal woes. The money the American people earn is THEIRS, not the government's;

Are Gun Owners Walking into an Ambush?

 

http://cqrcengage.com/gunowners/app/write-a-letter?2&engagementId=40460&lp=0

-- We are making headway, but we must stay vigilant!

“‘Immigration reform will add over 8,000,000 anti-gun voters to the voting rolls,’ Gun Owners of America warned its members and supporters ina January 24 alert.” -- The Examiner, January 29, 2014

Take a deep breath! You’re in for a wild ride.

For months, as you know, GOA has been battling against the anti-gun immigration amnesty bill, which would add 8,000,000 anti-gun voters to the voting rolls.

The political left has attacked Gun Owners of America for rallying gun owners to oppose the anti-gun amnesty legislation. One liberal website even (mockingly) characterized our view as saying that “immigrants must suffer because of their supposed political views.”

 

Fast Track to Gun Control?

 

For gun owners, it would be a lose-lose.  

There would be 8,000,000 new anti-gun voters, and California-style gun control would be inevitable.

On the other hand, newly drafted Obama anti-gun treaties, which could resemble the UN Arms Trade Treaty, would be almost impossible to stop.

Think Obama is so honorable that he would not use treaties to ban guns?  Does anyone think that?

 

ACTION:  For now, let's receive our apparent victory graciously -- knowing that we're going to have to be continually vigilant to make sure the amnesty bill doesn't raise its ugly head again. So Take Action and urge your Representatives to remain firm in opposing anti-gun amnesty for the rest of this congressional session:
