KEEP PRESSURE ON BASNIGHT

Your efforts in calling and
emailing Senators regarding SB 680 have, at least for
the time-being, prevented the Senate from re-attaching
the anti-gun show language to SB 680. However, that's
the only good news. Rather than passing a clean
pro-gun bill, the NC Senate Leadership, under the
direction of Democrat MARC BASNIGHT (D-Dare, GRNC
1-star), have decided to throw yet another road block
in the path of gun owners.
SB 680, a bill to prevent abusive gun litigation, had
been polluted with gun show restrictions. After the NC
House cleaned it up by removing gun show language,
Basnight's Senate is now refusing the bill a committee
hearing. The message? Unless a bill contains gun
control, Basnight doesn't want it heard.
SB 680 is bottled up in the Senate Judiciary II
Committee, which is also sitting on HB 442 (a bill to
establish reciprocity for concealed carry permit
holders between states), HB 622 (a CLEAN bill to
prevent abusive gun litigation), and HB 842 (a bill to
exempt CCH permit holders from handgun purchase permit
requirements). The J-II Committee is chaired by
anti-gun Sen. KAY HAGAN (D-Guilford, GRNC 0-star).
IMMEDIATE ACTION
REQUIRED
 | Contact your NC Senator and tell them you
want to see House Bills 442, 622, and 842 passed,
and remind them that HB 622 is a far better vehicle
for preventing abusive gun litigation than is SB
680. |
| Contact Senate leader Marc Basnight and
politely remind him you don't want WORDS about his
claimed support for gun rights, you want
ACTIONS-specifically a hearing for House Bills 442,
622, and 842. |
| Contact Sen. KAY HAGAN and politely demand
committee hearings House Bills 442, 622, and 842. |

State and national gun control organizations are
using the hysteria brought about by the terrorist
incidents to justify not only closing the
non-existent "gun show loophole," but also
registering ALL private transfers of firearms.
Remind your Senator that terrorists used mere box
cutters that any 12 year old could buy at a K-Mart
to kill thousands of Americans in the World Trade
Center, and they have used microscopic bacteria that
can grow on goat skins to shut down the Nations
Capitol and kill innocent postal workers. It is
shameful but not surprising that the gun banners
would take advantage of the tragedies that have
occurred to try to further their personal vendetta
against the Second Amendment.
DON'T LET THEM GET
