REPUBLICANS POISED TO WEAKEN H562

 


Tell House Republicans ENOUGH! No more stalling on H562...


Earlier today House Bill 562 was scheduled to be passed through the Rules Committee, and then debated tomorrow on the House floor.

Unfortunately, it seems that Speaker Moore and other Republicans have gone weak-kneed, and have given in to House Democrats’ request to slow the pace on such a “controversial topic.” (Are the Republicans knuckling under to Michael Bloomberg's anti-gun pressure groups?)


ENOUGH! There is nothing controversial about ending Jim-Crow era (read: racist) gun control measures, which can’t happen fast enough; preventing firearm interrogations from occurring during your annual physical; and moving to a standard national background system that even the liberal State of New-York agrees to be sufficient, along with 35 other states and territories.


H562 is what you and other gun rights advocates have been fighting for and waiting entirely too long for under this Republican controlled legislature. It just seems that no matter how different politicians say things are going to be, they all eventually begin to forget who placed them in the position of power they so desperately cling to.


One must laugh to keep from crying to think that this Republican supermajority has so easily forgotten how YOU granted them control in 2010 of the General Assembly for the first time since 1896.

Over 70% of States and Territories of this great nation have long abandoned expensive, disparate, and archaic systems like the pistol purchase permit system that the North Carolina Sheriffs cling to so dearly in the name of prideful power. At GRNC, we know the real truth as to why NC Sheriffs oppose H562. You can read the complete letter here, which contains a complete rebuttal to each NCSA claim, not the least of which is:


According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation1, the National Instant Background Check System (NICS) is good enough for 36 U.S. states and territories to use it as the single and only point of contact for gun sales. Why is it good enough for states with stringent gun laws such as New York and Massachusetts, but not for North Carolina?

(http://grnc.org/documents/NCSA-rebuttal-2015.pdf)



H 562: “Amend Firearms Laws.” This comprehensive bill would further open up the state fair to concealed handgun permit-holders, remove restrictions from educational properties, permit guns in locked vehicles at places of employment, remove CLEO discretion in signing BATFE paperwork for Title II firearms, authorize hunting with short-barreled rifles, and more.


 
IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED!

DELIVER THIS MESSAGE:

Suggested Subject: "2016 PRIMARY MESSAGE - H562 Is On You"  

 


Dear Representative: 


My frustration with this Republican controlled House increases by the day. Second Amendment rights, among others, are at the very core of conservative principles. If "we the people" cannot go about our daily routines without having to constantly remind a Republican supermajority of the importance in passing legislation such as H562, then perhaps that is an indication that we’ve made a mistake as voters.


I suppose the words of Winston Churchill best describe the situation, "There is no greater mistake than to suppose that platitudes, smooth words, and timid policies offer a path to safety."


Let me make my expectations entirely clear: I will not accept a watered down version of H562.


 As the 2016 Primaries approach, only you can decide if the rhetoric that often determines the outcome of elections will speak of true Second Amendment support or quite frankly just platitudes and broken promises.


I urge you to support H562 in its entirety and have it moved out of committee and to the floor for a vote immediately. I will continue to monitor your actions on H562 through Grass Roots North Carolina legislative alerts.

Respectfully,
