Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid claims he is now prepared to bring S. 649, the latest "universal background check" (read that "registration") bill to a vote today or tomorrow. He believes he has secured enough turncoat Republicans to break the filibuster promised by pro-Second Amendment patriots like Senators Paul, Lee, and Cruz. The sell-out Republicans that have joined Reid's camp need to hear from us immediately and forcefully!


S. 374 & S. 649 will make you a criminal

There is nothing benign about "universal background checks," which are gun control code words for "universal gun registration." Not only would S. 649 open the door for registration, it and similar bills under consideration would make it a 5-year federal felony to:

•    leave town for more than 7 days, and leave your spouse, partner, or roommate at home with your guns;

•    lend a gun to a friend to take shooting or to go hunting;

•    loan a gun to your mother if she lives at a different residence;

•    hand a gun to someone at a gun club which is not a shooting range;

•    teach someone to shoot on your own land, if you hand that person the gun; or

•    fail to report a gun as lost or stolen within 24 hours, even if you are on a hunting trip deep in the woods and are unable to do so.

These Senators are threating your freedom! They must be told in no uncertain terms that they will pay dearly if they do not abandon their plans to attack Second Amendment rights!

•    CALL AND EMAIL SEN. KAY HAGAN AND CALL TURNCOAT REPUBLICANS ASAP!

DELIVER THIS MESSAGE   

Dear Senator:

I am one of the hundreds of thousands of gun owners who follow the recommendations of the "National Coalition to Stop the Gun Ban." This coalition comprises 39 member organizations that oppose any and all gun control.

More importantly, *I* am the one who will work to remove you from office if you fail to: (1) Vote against any "motion to proceed" on S. 649 or whatever other thinly disguised gun registration bill hits the Senate floor, and (2) Support efforts to filibuster such legislation.

The National Coalition to Stop the Gun Ban will not accept any "compromise" on competing universal gun registration schemes - not between Sens. Charles Schumer and Tom Coburn, not between Sen. Joe Manchin and the NRA, and not the "alternative" being put together by Sen. Chuck Grassley. We have long ago learned that "compromise" in the gun debate defines a lose-lose process: we lose less freedom than under the opposition's original proposal, but we still lose.
