Within the next month, Congress will be taking actions that will impact our Second Amendment rights.
Here’s what we’re facing. On or about September 30, Congress will consider a “continuing resolution” (CR) to fund the government from October 1, 2011 to September 30, 2012.
Well, you can be sure about this — when it comes to funding the government, any bill passed by Congress will NOT be neutral on the Second Amendment:
* Either the CR will fund the anti-gun ObamaCare program … or it will explicitly prohibit ObamaCare from being funded.
* Either it will fund ATF’s illegal efforts to register multiple sales of long guns in the southwest … or it will explicitly prohibit those activities from being funded.
* Either it will fund the Obama administration’s illegal efforts to block the importation of shotguns and rifles … or it will explicitly prohibit these bans from being funded.
* Either it will fund negotiations at the United Nations to produce a small arms treaty that will license firearms, ban semi-autos, and ban tiny modifications of firearms … or it will explicitly prohibit those negotiations.
Barack Obama can veto the CR. If he does so, his wretched administration will be shut down.
But the House of Representatives also has a veto, as it can refuse to send an anti-gun CR to the Senate. So the message is that Congress needs to reject any CR which:
* Does not defund ObamaCare;
* Does not defund the illegal multiples sales regs;
* Does not defund the illegal shotgun and rifle import bans;
* Does not defund the UN negotiations to license American gun owners.
We can tell you right now that there will be some congressmen who will say: “Sure, I voted to fund ObamaCare. But that doesn’t mean I support ObamaCare.”
That is a lie.
There are congressmen who will say: “Sure, I voted to fund the registration of long guns. But that doesn’t mean I support the registration of long guns.”
That is a lie.
There are some who will say: “Sure, I voted to fund the bans on importing shotguns and rifles. But that doesn’t mean I support those import bans.”
That is a lie.
And there are some who will say: “Sure, I voted to fund UN negotiations to register gun owners. But that doesn’t mean I support gun registration.”
That is a lie.
ACTION: Contact your congressman. Tell him to stake out a position early and publicly that he will oppose any CR which does not defund ObamaCare, the illegal long gun multiple sales regs, the illegal shotgun and rifle bans, and the UN negotiations to produce a treaty which will register American gun owners.

What a crock of bs. Please post the part of Obamacare that is anti gun. What shotguns are you not able to import? If you can’t site the documentation on this, and you can’t since it doesn’t exist, I have to conclude that you are less than honest. You just lost any credibility you had in my book.
ckerst, maybe it is you that needs to do some research. Because you did not attempt to search the internet to see if it is true, maybe you are the one who is not credible. Maybe you are the one with an agenda or idealogue. This info was there for you to find it, but your emotional response was more important than learning the facts. Just as I would expect from someone who is a liberal. Just sayin’
Obamacare has a section that allows “medical professionals” to ask pointed questions about firearms ownership of their patients, and collecting this information into one’s “medical file”. A sort of de-facto firearms owners registry. Further, insurance companies will be allowed to raise premiums for firearms owners on the false pretext that they are a higher risk class. YOU go find it somewher in the tens of thousands of pages. Pelosi said we have to pass it so we can find out what’s in it. Some folks have waded through and found these things.
There are certain shotguns manufactured overseas that have “features not suitable for sporting purposes”.. specifically, the very features the “three gun” competitors desire for their sporing events. Further, the Obama administration has blocked the repatriation of a large number of surplus military rifles, quite collectible, made in the USA and shipped to South Korea for use by servicemen on duty there. They have been “surplussed” and are set to be disoposed of by South Korea. Americans want these pieces of collectible history retyurnned to the US. Obama has blocked this legal re-importation. He gives no reason that holds water.
You left out the illegal UN Small Arms Treaty, which would trash the Second Ammendment of our Constitution. You also left out the illegal new “rule” by the BATF mandating “multiple gun sales” registration… in fact, our Congress have begun a new bill to block this illegal regiatration rule. So, you are zero for four. Who’s lost credibility? Wake up-, man. This present adminstration HATES firearms and wants to disarm us. Not for our “safety” but to better facilitate our subjection and control.
