Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
"Assault Weapons" Ban Sunset Battle About to Get Ugly
KeepAndBearArms.com
April 24, 2003
In Monday's edition of the Washington Post, Dana Milbank
was kind enough to report on the results of
KeepAndBearArms.com's poll slamming President Bush for
his support for the Clinton/Feinstein 1994 federal ban on
various semi-automatic firearms and on effective-capacity
magazines.
The Post even pointed out the strange silence from the NRA's
"leadership" on Bush's promise to follow in his father's footsteps
as a gun banning backstabber.
Here's the Post's paragraph:
"The National Rifle Association, which opens its convention
in Orlando this week, has held its fire after a Bush spokesman
said the president supports reauthorizing the assault weapons
ban. Not so the pro-gun Web site keepandbeararms.com,
which did a somewhat, er, loaded Web poll. Asked whether
they would still vote for Bush if he signs a renewal of the ban,
79. 6 percent of respondents chose the option, 'Hell no, and I'll
tell all of my friends to abandon him, too. ' Three percent chose
the less extreme option, 'Yes, I would still vote for him, even
after he proves that he's a traitor. ' "

If you've ever seen NRA's Executive VP, Wayne LaPierre speak
publicly, you know the man has a way with words. The cat doesn't
get Mr. Smoothtalker's tongue. His silence is deafening.
MESSAGE TO WAYNE LAPIERRE AT NRA:
Playing "politics" with our rights again? If you fellas sell us out
on the so-called "assault weapons" ban, everything in this archive:
http://KeepAndBearArms.com/NRA will look sweet, kind and
gentle compared to the active, aggressive, continual public
awareness campaign aimed at NRA's leadership that will be
launched. Gun owners are fed up with compromises and
political games being played against our rights. The vast
majority polled promise they will not cast another vote in Bush's
direction if he signs this ban. Do you honestly believe your
membership tally won't suffer a similar fate?
The sunsetting of the Clinton/Feinstain gun ban is our line in
the sand. No compromise. None. Sunsetting the ban is the
only option.
~~~~~~~
Our "pro gun" President recently expressed support for the
current illegal firearms ban -- the Post broke the bad but
unsurprising news to us -- and support for renewing it when
it comes up for its scheduled sunset in September of 2004,
just before the general election.
All NRA has managed to say publicly about Bush's support for
the gun ban is that it won't matter if Congress doesn't put the bill
on Mr. Bush's desk -- a weak-kneed statement made by Wayne
LaPierre. While factually correct but empty of commitment -- and
thus requiring no spine -- gun owners who send the NRA money
ought to stop and wonder why they are giving him a pass on his
support for a federal gun ban that clearly violates the Second
Amendment.
WorldNetDaily.com ran a report on the next day, showing rabid
anti-gun, anti-self-defense Senators -- including Dianne Feinstein
and Chuck "Snickers That Women in His District Are Defenseless
Against Local Murderers" Schumer -- praising the President's new
fondness toward gun banning.
Rabid gun banners are praising the Prez for joining them in their
quest to disarm Americans, but NRA is AWOL? Hello?
When the NRA convention convenes later this week, all
lion-hearted patriots in attendance are urged to make noise
for one thing:
SUNSETTING THIS GUN BAN
For clarification, the Post didn't quite paint the whole picture
on where gun owners stand in regards to the President's offer
to pull a Bill Clinton. A full 92% of 8,677 respondents said they
would not vote for the President in his bid for reelection -- if
he signed the soon-to-be-submitted reauthorization of the gun
ban.
The Washington Post -- along with its balanced counterpart, the
Times -- is a staple inside the Beltway. There's no doubt that
President Bush is on notice as to where gun owners stand on
his obedience to illegal, unAmerican gun prohibitionism. It's
now time to rattle the Congressional cages. If you haven't
contacted your Rep and Senator, this is your notice to add
some phone calls to your "to do" list. Naturally, that doesn't
apply if you happen to have a political ***** like Dianne
Feinstein or Hillary Clinton lording over your rights; women
who'd rather see other women raped than rapists shot aren't
likely to grasp concepts like "arms = freedom" -- guns are
for their bodyguards, paid for you YOU.
But if you live in an area where your congress critters can be
persuaded (or simply warned) by floods of phone calls, faxes
and mail, it is indeed time to start making waves. Do your part.
Carry your weight on this one, and get your friends to do the
same.
The battle to sunset the illegal, immoral 1994 Clinton/Feinstein
semi-auto rifle ban is about to get ugly...
A broad-based coalition of many gun rights organizations has
formed and is growing and will be announced any day now.
Just to become a member, a group must agree to get vindictive
with ANY public servant who supports, endorses, promotes,
votes for or even hedges on the 1994 federal gun ban. Up to,
and including, our "pro gun" Republicrat President. Same goes
for ANY "gun rights organization" that sells us out, no matter
how large or small, no matter how popular or entrenched.
It's time to separate the wheat from the chaff in the battle for
firearms freedoms. Nobody gets a pass on supporting this gun
ban.
Lead your charge. Gun Owners of America has an excellent
website feature to lead you straight to contact information for
your congressional servants. Make them serve Liberty, and
inform them that their failure to do so will result in political pain:

Please Note: an email to a federal legislator is nothing compared
to a phone call, a fax, or a hand-written letter delivered by snail
mail. You're lucky if an email to a federal legislator gets tallied.
Email does not get read and considered point by point. CALL!
At least. Sending snail mail AND calling is ideal. Ending this
onerous federal gun ban -- and smacking down a host of
anti-rights communist fools in the process -- is worth the time.

will get nothing done -- because they are spending all their
time on the phone. That definitely gets their attention. "
