ALERT: Sen. Harry Reid stumps for gun-control legislation, says background checks 'will pass."


Take Action! Fax Congress and tell them to oppose ALL FORMS of gun-control!

Conservative American,

Speaking today on the six month anniversary of the Sandy Hook shooting, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid reiterated the "need" for Congress to strengthen federal gun-control.
"The writing is on the wall," said Reid. "Background checks will pass, the only question is when."

Accompanied by Reps. Esty and Pelosi, and Sens. Blumenthal and Murphy, the Majority Leader said "a watered-down version" of the Senate's former gun-control effort, S. 649 or the "Safe Schools, Safe Communities Act."

The fact is, we knew this was coming since the gun-grabbers April defeat: Harry Reid and John Boehner had said multiple times that a gun-control bill will take a vote in their respective Houses of Congress. This is exactly why we must continue to demand our elected servants to stand firm against all forms of increased gun-control.

Mental health checks. Universal background checks. Magazine and weapons bans.

All of these "safety policies" have not been forgotten by the gun-grabbers, despite S. 649′s demise in late April.

Remember, Harry Reid said well before S. 649 even came to the floor for debate, that, should the bill and its amendments fail, he is prepared to take up each one of its components individually as its own bill. He reiterated this again after he tabled the "Safe Communities, Safe Schools Act" on April 18; he said, "It's only a matter of time before we bring this anti-gun-violence measure back to the floor for a vote."

While we saw a clear victory in April, the battle to defend gun rights is far from over. We must continue to demand that lawmakers do no additional damage to our Second Amendment rights!
Already we have sent thousands of faxes and messages to Congress in defense of our right to "keep and bear arms" - we must make sure that we keep pressuring members of Congress so that the next legislative attempt to hamper our Second Amendment will be dead on arrival!

The fact that seven out of nine amendments to S. 649 failed back in April, due to, using Majority Leader Reid's words, "the stand of Republicans," serves to prove that our actions work. Our faxes, messages, and phone calls do make an impact!

Before the bill came to debate, only three GOP Senators expressly stated that they would oppose any and all bills that would debar Americans of their Second Amendment rights; this small pro-gun minority grew over the course of a month to include Senators from both sides of the aisle and ultimately forced the bill and its amendments to be removed from the floor of the Senate.
Sens. Cruz, Lee, and Paul are still leading the charge against gun-control, and remain committed to their pledge: that they "intend to oppose any legislation that would oppose on the American people's constitutional right to bear arms, or on their ability to exercise this right without being subjected to government surveillance."

Just as the Feinstein Bill was exchanged with Reid's "Safe Communities, Safe Schools Act," so the Reid Bill will soon be exchanged for another seemingly more "palatable" gun-control act. Again, "it's only a matter of time."

This is why Senators must remain committed to combating gun-control in any form and under any bill number.

We must continue to tell our elected leaders that we have not taken our eyes off of this very important Constitutional issue.

If the April votes signal anything, they tell us that there is overwhelming bipartisan support for "mental health checks." This was proven by the acceptance of the Harkin-Alexander Amendment #730, which passed with all but two votes - the two dissenting votes belonging to Sens. Mike Lee and Rand Paul.

This said, it would not be foolish to assume that the next bill that sees the Senate floor might be based around this effort as it is something that both parties clearly agree on.

It's not just mental health checks, though. Republicans and Democrats alike still want universal background checks to become the rule. Yes, the Manchin-Toomey amendment failed, and GOP members voted against it, but that is not because those individuals were necessarily opposed to the idea as much as they were opposed to the particular verbiage that the West Virginia and Pennsylvania Senators used.

For example, consider the words of Arizona Senator Jeff Flake:

"I support background checks. In fact, I believe background checks need to be strengthened, particularly as they relate to those with mental illness. To this end I've cosponsored S.480 with Senators Graham, Begich, and Pryor clarifying who should not be able to obtain a firearm due to mental illness. I believe our approach is preferable, and more workable, than the mental illness provisions in Manchin-Toomey.

I have a great deal of respect for Senators Manchin and Toomey. I believe they are coming at this issue with the best of intentions.

But I will oppose the Manchin-Toomey amendment."


This is to show that Republicans, attempting to compromise, are willing to sell-out the Second Amendment - It's not just the notoriously anti-gun Democrats. Big Government GOP Senators are signaling that they are willing to trade our liberty in for "security."

This is why we must continue to demand that no attack on the Second Amendment are acceptable, that no further restrictions must intervene with our right to keep and bear arms. There are already hundreds of gun statutes on the books - some groups claim there are actually thousands - yet the founders only gave is one that said "the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

We must continue to press our elected servants to defend our Second Amendment at all costs against so-called "common sense" reforms!

It is of the utmost importance that we continue to mobilize against all gun-control, as its proponents have by no means given up.

Majority Leader Harry Reid said "this issue is not going away ... we are not giving up," suggesting that he and his fellow gun-grabbers will keep pushing to ram through their Big Government agenda, despite their April 18 defeat.

Sen. Manchin of West Virginia echoed Harry Reid not long ago when he said that "this is not over."

In the House of Representatives, Rep. Nancy Pelosi also suggested that the gun-grabbers are not ready to give up. "We're just not taking 'no' for an answer ... [we're] so disappointed," she said, "This is a fight we must win. It's a matter of time."

We must continue to demand lawmakers to stand against gun-control by taking action andblasting faxes, sending letters, and making phone calls!

Obama and the gun-grabbers know exactly what they want and are willing to go to any length to get it. This is why we must continue to keep our eyes on the Congressional gun-grabbers every move and demand lawmakers to prepare to oppose the next bad bill that they offer.

The Second Amendment must not be compromised...
