ALERT: Feinstein introduces unconstitutional weapons/magazine ban stronger than her '94 bill.


Fax Congress: Tell them to OPPOSE the Feinstein Bill!

Conservative American,

The Feinstein Weapons Bill has been introduced.

It's true. Yesterday evening, California Senator Diane Feinstein called on her colleagues to support a bill that would end the Second Amendment as we know it.

What's worse is that her terrible, un-American legislation now has a number of supporters in both chambers of the U.S. Congress. In her chamber alone, Senators Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Carl Levin (D-Mich.), John Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.), Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), Jack Reed (D-R.I.), Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.), Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Ben Cardin (D-Md.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) each have thrown in their support for the Feinstein bill, despite the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land.

That's right: the Feinstein Ban garnered more than sixteen co-sponsors on day one!

The federal government - not the Congress, not the President - has no power on their own to take the People's right to bear arms! State-regulations curbing this right are already intolerable enough - national, sweeping gun-control legislation would be many, many times worse!

We must take action and demand the U.S. Congress to oppose this unconstitutional piece of legislation and all other bills that would accomplish similar goals.

Send Faxes and demand Congress to OPPOSE any and all legislative attempts to disarm Americans! Urge lawmakers to vote against the Feinstein, Schumer, and Lautenberg gun-control bills as they are each in opposition to the Constitution!

The Feinstein Bill:

Sen. Feinstein, author of the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban, has long been an enemy of private gun-owners and the God-given right to self-defense.

Senator Feinstein, keeping in line with Rahm Emanuel's rule of thumb to "never waste a crisis," immediately began calling for increased gun-control after the terrible event at Sandy Hook Elementary in December.

However, when the California Senator first committed to re-introduce her former Assault Weapons Ban we didn't have the specifics - but now we do.

As it turns out, her newest effort is even more stringent than her former bill, which passed under our last Democrat president, Bill Clinton.

Feinstein's current push prohibits over one-hundred fifty gun models, banning not only semi-automatic rifles, but also certain types of shotguns and handguns; her legislation would also prohibit so-called "high-capacity" magazines and establish a national gun-registry.

Here is just a taste of what her bill would accomplish. "The legislation bans the sale, transfer, manufacturing and importation of ..." the Senator's website reports:


    • All semiautomatic rifles that can accept a detachable magazine and have at least one military feature: pistol grip; forward grip; folding, telescoping, or detachable stock; grenade launcher or rocket launcher; barrel shroud; or threaded barrel.
    • All semiautomatic pistols that can accept a detachable magazine and have at least one military feature: threaded barrel; second pistol grip; barrel shroud; capacity to accept a detachable magazine at some location outside of the pistol grip; or semiautomatic version of an automatic firearm.
    • All semiautomatic rifles and handguns that have a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds.
    • All semiautomatic shotguns that have a folding, telescoping, or detachable stock; pistol grip; fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 5 rounds; ability to accept a detachable magazine; forward grip; grenade launcher or rocket launcher; or shotgun with a revolving cylinder.
    • All ammunition feeding devices (magazines, strips, and drums) capable of accepting more than 10 rounds.
    • 157 specifically-named firearms ... (Click here and scroll to the bottom of the page to see the full list of prohibited weapons.)




Further, this bill - unlike her 1994 ban - does not have a sunset provision; in other words, if passed, it would be for all intents and purposes a permanent measure!

Two members of the House of Representatives - Reps. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.) and Ed Perlmutter (D-C.O.) - have a sister bill for their chamber.

Other Anti-Gun Legislation:

While the Feinstein Bill alone accomplishes many of Obama's January 16th legislative requests, it is not the only bill we need to demand U.S. Congressmen to oppose. There are two other bills that reiterate similar gun-control measures: the Schumer Bill and the Lautenberg Bill.

New York's Charles Schumer has introduced a bill that would establish universal background checks. On Sunday, the Senator told Meet the Press that such checks are the "sweet spot" of the gun control debate and that he suspects to see support in "the coming weeks."

Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) - the Senator who expressed he was "confident" gun-control bills would pass in the 113th Congress - had introduced on Tuesday, January 22nd, a bill that would limit "high-capacity" magazines.

The New Jersey Senator said, "It is clearer than ever that there is no place in our communities for military-style supersized magazines like those used inside Sandy Hook Elementary School, in Aurora, and in Tucson, and I will keep working to reinstate the ban on them."

The Lautenberg bill also has a House counterpart; like the Feinstein Bill it is sponsored by New York's Rep. McCarthy.

While these bills may seem redundant, we must still demand they be opposed. Anti-gun Senators do not write these to waste their time; they write them because, if passed, they're effective.

Media & Public Determination:

What's as bad as the gun bills themselves is the propaganda coming from the Mainstream Media.

Whether or not they are reporting the truth, Major Media groups are suggesting that more and more Americans are on board with the federal government's anti-gun and anti-liberty efforts. They are reporting things like "Gun-control Support Rising" and "Poll: Most Favor Obama on Gun-control" - see Gallup, CNN, SFGate, CBS, WaPo, UPI, and ABC, which are only a few of the many.

While we don't believe that these reports or polls truly represent most American individuals, we do know such information has a powerful impact on the millions who listen.

Despite all of the Americans who support the Second Amendment as it stands - and we argue that they are the true majority - there is very little press coming to the defense of the right of the individual to own the weapon or weapons of his or her choice.

Through their unbalanced reporting, Mainstream Media is sending a message - true or not - in their game to influence "the public mind." They have three goals: 1) to cause patriotic and pro-gun Americans to think the battle is already over, that the cards are stacked against them, and that there is no use in taking political action; 2) to cause those who are legitimately confused about how to effectively minimize violence to think that removing guns is the solution (while the opposite is true); and, 3) to incite those opposed to private gun-ownership into supporting political action that would disarm their neighbors.

It is very important we recognize the Media's role in our society. By promoting lies and blocking the truth, and by espousing bad ideas and prohibiting good ideas, the Mainstream Media so often collectively succeeds in misleading and hampering the consciences of many. It's time we stop listening to them.

As Obama and anti-gun Congressmen work hand-in-hand to redefine the Second Amendment, it's time that we acquaint ourselves with the truth.

The Second Amendment does not say "the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, except by a majority vote." No! It says "the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Period!

Liberty or Tyranny?

Senator Diane Feinstein unashamedly said in her January 24th address that her intent was to "dry up" the supply of guns over time.

This very tactic has been used before by tyrants throughout history; not surprisingly, it had been attempted in early America by Great Britain. George Mason said that that the British initiated arms controls over the colonies, he said such was "the best and most effectual way to enslave them [the colonists]."

You read that right: arms control is the best way for a government to "enslave" the people.

Make no mistake; we are in the middle of an unprecedented fight between liberty and tyranny, between freedom and control, between the Constitution and Washington.

The People's right to "keep and bear arms" - the Second Amendment - is at risk.

Already we witnessed Obama's executive attack on the Second Amendment by twenty-three executive actions, including three Presidential Memoranda. And now we have weapon, clip, and ammunition bans coming from Congress, alongside of pushes for things like universal background checks.

The Feinstein Weapons Ban is an assault on the Second Amendment and must be opposed by ever decent and patriotic Congressperson.
