My brother in law is a gun owner and he signed me up to this news letter that I wanted to share. This is the most recent issue:



Dear Concerned Citizen,

Did you know that Obama and his anti-constitution administration are partnering up with the anti-Second Amendment collaborators of the United Nations to pass "The Small Arms Treaty."

If this treaty is passed YOUR firearms rights will be compromised and the Second Amendment will be obliterated. "The Small Arms Treaty" is being touted by liberal gun-grabbers as a treaty that will help fight against "terrorism," "insurgency" and "international crime rings." The treaty is merely a façade to seize control of ALL FIREARMS owned by law abiding American citizens.

Did you know that since Barack Obama was elected President 3 people make a donation to an anti-gun group every minute?

That's almost a million and a half contributions aimed at you -- and your gun rights every year!

With Obama in the White House and anti-gunners in control of key committees in Congress, the gun grabbers are out for blood.

Make no mistake. Our guns and our right to use them could be wiped away by Barack Obama, the most anti-gun rights President in history, at any moment.

They already are being attacked in Congress, state legislatures and cities and towns from coast-to-coast.

Right now, groups like the Brady Gun Control Center and the Ban the Gun Coalition are running anti-gun commercials, newspaper, internet website and magazine ads, and are appearing on radio talk shows.

Sadly, these and other actions by the "ban the gun crowd" are resulting in thousands of "new" supporters for their cause who will be making additional contributions against you and your gun rights for years to come.

Over the last few years the anti-gun movement has been quietly organizing and increasing their funding base while waiting for an anti-gun rights President.

Today with Barack Obama in the White House, they are one of the best funded operations I have ever seen. Of course, they could have never gotten to where they are without help from the anti-gunners in the media and Hollywood.

We must respond -- and respond fast.

To do so we need your help to "take up the slack" by providing us with as much help as you can.

We are urgently trying to find the extra funding to help with our important work to protect your gun rights.

I personally feel -- and I know you agree -- WE MUST PUT OUR FOOT DOWN NOW BEFORE THIS GETS OUT OF HAND AND OUR GUN RIGHTS ARE GONE FOREVER.

I've been actively involved in this fight for over thirty years. But, without your help and the help of other concerned citizens there is little that I can do.

If you're like me, the thought of someone making a donation every 20 seconds -- for the purpose of taking away our freedom -- is frightening indeed.

But with enough public support we can cut the gun grabbers down to size. That is the major reason why I have actively devoted over three decades of my life to this cause.

I have spent much time traveling away from home and my wife and children -- to do television and radio shows in all 50 states -- to defend our constitutional rights.

I have seen the anti-gun movement in action and I personally am not about to sit back and do nothing to protect our freedom.

Now I know we can't stop them cold, once and for all. But we can curb them from their goal to disarm us.

But all the know-how in the world won't accomplish anything without the support of concerned people like you.

What we need right now are folks who are willing to back up their beliefs -- that gun confiscation is wrong -- with ACTION.

Just to mail a direct mail survey cost us about 28¢. So for us to reach just one million other Americans will cost us about $280,000.

Add to that the need for the National Firearms Freedom Fund advertising campaign, our priority lobbying needs and our important pro-gun rights educational projects, we're talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars.

And that's money we simply don't have right now to fight Barack Obama and the gun ban crowd. Can I count on you to help us today?

I hope so. Because quite frankly with gun grabbers like Senators John Kerry, Frank Lautenberg, Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, Chuck Schumer and Ted Kennedy, not to mention House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, our gun rights could vanish at any time.

Please imagine for a moment the loss of your gun rights, and the fact that your children may not have the same freedom you took for granted.

Remember too, all the countries where this freedom has already been lost.

Now I know you are called upon to help many worthy causes these days. But our gun rights are simply one freedom we cannot afford to put on "the back burner."

The biggest danger facing us today is if too many people think their individual participation isn't really needed or won't make a difference.

I sincerely hope you don't feel that way.

Please do whatever you can to help.

Our major enemies are time and the lack of funds. Remember, every 20 seconds another contribution to take away your gun rights, goes to our opponents.
