MedicalConspiracies- Fw: ANOTHER gun control "deal" in the works

Word out of Washington is that Oklahoma Republican Senator Tom Coburn is now the "linchpin" gun control negotiator on Capitol Hill. He's working feverishly with gun-grabbing Senator Chuck Schumer and weak-kneed Republicans like Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley on a "deal" that would greatly expand federal background checks -- key to Barack Obama's gun control agenda. This showdown you and I have been gearing up for could be less than one week away. The Senate's two-week recess will be over. They'll be back into session. And President Obama's gun control schemes WILL be at the top of the Senate's agenda. cleo, the very first procedural move Harry Reid makes could very well be decisive . . . and supposedly "pro-gun" Members in BOTH parties will be complicit. Without your action today, I'm afraid the Senate fight could get out of control and be lost before it's even begun. *** SO PLEASE DO NOT DELETE THIS EMAIL OR JUST THINK YOU CAN GET TO IT LATER *** THE MOST critical period in the fight to protect our Second Amendment rights is happening right now. And I can promise you will not get all the facts from the national media. After I explain the situation, I'm going to ask you to sign an EMERGENCY Fax Petition to your U.S. Senators. I hope you'll not only agree to sign them, I hope you'll forward them to as many pro-gun family members and friends as you can. As you'll see, these petitions urge your U.S. Senators to "Stand with Rand" and STOP any bill from coming to the Senate floor that's designed to serve as the vehicle for President Obama's anti-gun agenda. You see, while anti-gun members of the national media pretend they don't know what's going on in Washington, D.C., the gun-grabbers' Senate strategy is hardly a secret. Senator Reid's plan is to bring an innocent-sounding gun-related bill to the floor to clear the 60-vote filibuster hurdle to bring a bill to the floor. This vote on a mundane, harmless "carrier bill" is the KEY vote. Once debate begins, so will the deal-making. Dianne Feinstein, Chuck Schumer and all the rest will force votes on amendment after amendment to see just how draconian they can get the ultimate bill to be -- and still clear the 60-vote threshold needed for ultimate passage. That means things could get out of control -- AND FAST. Any number of outrageous anti-gun amendments could be offered, including: *** FULL-SCALE NATIONAL GUN REGISTRATION under the guise of "universal background checks." The only way for this radical scheme to be enforced is for every gun and every gun owner in America to be registered with the federal government. And you and I both know, gun registration is just the first step to CONFISCATION; *** CITIZEN DISARMAMENT under the guise of so-called "mental health restrictions" handing government officials the ability to strip U.S. citizens of the right to buy or own firearms on a whim -- and without any adjudication. Already, hundreds of thousands of military veterans have fallen victim to similar state level schemes. And former Surgeon General Steven Galson estimated that 46.4% of Americans experience some sort of mental illness during their lives! To the gun-grabbers, disarming up to 50% of the American population within a year or two's time sounds like a dream come true. *** ANTI-GUN ATF WITCHHUNTS under the guise of stopping "gun trafficking" dramatically ramping up penalties on Americans who sell firearms to "prohibited persons" -- if the seller "should have known." The legal definitions of both of these phrases is so vague, they're an anti-gun ATF agent's dream come true. This scheme is designed to get gun owners to start screaming FOR a national gun registry because ultimately the only way you'll be able to protect yourself from ATF goons is to get prior federal approval for every gun transfer. cleo, that's not even close to the end of it! By the time Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's horse-trading and vote-trading is through, I'm afraid we could even see the Feinstein Gun Ban attached as an amendment. That's why I'm counting on you to sign your EMERGENCY Fax Petition TODAY! You see, the good news is, for a little over a week now, Senator Rand Paul has been circulating a letter around Capitol Hill saying he'll filibuster any gun legislation Senator Harry Reid plans to move to the Senate floor for "debate." If Senator Paul can get 40 Senators to stand with him, the fight is over and no gun bill will be able to break through Senator Paul's logjam. The Obama administration has already made it clear it opposes Senator Paul's move . . . So the decision your Senators have is to Stand With Rand -- or President Obama. cleo, I HATE the fact I even have to write you this email. After all, there are 45 Republicans in the U.S. Senate. Virtually all claim to support our gun rights. There's more than a handful of Democrats who claim to support our gun rights, as well. But only four Senators have so far pledged to Stand With Rand -- Senators Mike Lee (R-UT), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Jim Inhofe (R-OK). The rest are sitting on their hands -- trying to decide how they'll vote. After all, they don't want to be painted as "unreasonable" by the national media. In fact, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) is even writing his own "carrier bill" to help Harry Reid along! And deal-cutting GOP Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) says he can't wait to see it. After all, what's the harm in voting for some little harmless watered-down bill? Never mind you and I are virtually guaranteed to get kicked in the teeth with one of the worst anti-gun bills you and I have seen in decades . . . The politicians couldn't care less about that. All politicians care about is not getting the blame when they face reelection if and when you and I get steamrolled. And they think they can get away with it too . . . because the NRA -- with a wink and a nod -- is DEAD SILENT. Sadly, the NRA hasn't yet lifted a finger to urge U.S. Senators to Stand With Rand. But cleo, regardless of what the NRA does -- if U.S. Senators think they'll get away with greasing the skids for President Obama's anti-gun agenda -- they've got another thing coming. With your help, the National Association for Gun Rights is prepared to turn up the heat on EVERY U.S. Senator and make one thing crystal clear . . . A VOTE TO PROCEED TO DEBATE ON ANY ANTI-GUN CARRIER BILL -- NO MATTER HOW MUNDANE -- IS A VOTE FOR GUN CONTROL. PERIOD. But there's no time to waste. The clock is ticking. You and I have exactly one week to turn the heat up on the U.S. Senate before they go back in session. I want every Senator to come back to D.C. to a MASSIVE stack of petitions sitting on his or her desk. That's why I need to flood the Senate with EMERGENCY Fax Petitions from good folks like you -- and why I'm asking you to forward these petitions to every pro-gun friend and family member you have. cleo, there's one more thing. If at all possible, please agree to your most generous financial support today. Please. Every penny you can. Perhaps you can chip in $20? The more you can give, the more Second Amendment supporters nationwide I can contact . . . The more TV ads I can run . . . The petitions I can generate . . . . . . The better the chance you and I turn back this anti-gun assault. If $20 is just too much, please agree to $10 or $5. Please. Make no mistake, this fight is about to get hot and heavy. I'm doing everything I can, but I'm counting on you to stand with me. Please sign your EMERGENCY Fax Petition today urging your U.S. Senators to Stand With Rand and refuse to allow any anti-gun "carrier bill" to the floor that's designed to serve as a vehicle to ram through Barack Obama's anti-gun agenda. And if you can, please agree to a generous contribution of $20, $10 or $5 TODAY! Please act at once. For Freedom, Dudley Brown Executive Vice President P.S.
