Thread: Political Art: Using A Tragedy To Erase 1st/2nd Amendments

Gun Foes Will Use Tucson Shooting for Gun Control

"You don't ever want a crisis to go to waste; it's an opportunity to do important things that you would otherwise avoid."
Rahm Emanuel, former Obama Chief-of-Staff

After the tragedy in Arizona over the weekend, perpetrated by a Communist-loving maniac, Democrats have begun (once again) calling for gun control regulations.

Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.), one of the fiercest gun-control advocates in Congress, plans to introduce legislation immediately to ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips. "Gun laws have to be examined," said Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.).

We knew this would happen!

Seconds after the shooting occurred, the Left crawled out of their holes to blame conservatives and gun owners for this disaster.

Don't let Liberals use this tragedy to take away your gun rights! Please stop right now and Fax Congress and tell them to protect your Second Amendment Rights! CCRKBA needs your immediate help as we protect your Second Amendment Rights!

Rep. McCarthy is introducing this legislation any minute---send your Faxes and donations right now!

Obama has been looking for a way to regulate your guns. First, he appointed an anti-gun zealot to head the ATF. Then, he used that same agency to enact new gun registration laws.

Now, Obama and the Left are going to use the tragedy in Arizona as an example of why you and I don't deserve Second Amendment rights. They are taking the actions of a disturbed individual---someone who believes America's laws are "treasonous"---to put the nail in the coffin of your gun freedoms.

Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Ben Franklin

This President will take away all of our Second Amendment rights if we aren't careful! Fax Congress and tell them to protect your Second Amendment Rights! CCRKBA needs you to make your opinion heard loud and clear, and we appreciate your financial support as we fight for our right to bear arms!

The Left has been waiting for a crisis like this so they can end your gun rights once and for all.

One has to wonder what Obama was thinking the moment he got the call that Rep. Giffords had been shot; was he concerned for her condition and the well-being of her family, or did he wonder if, FINALLY, he had a crisis he could use to take away your Second Amendment Rights?

It's distasteful to believe, but based on comments from the Left-wingers right after the shooting, I think I know what the answer is.

In fact, an unnamed Democrat political consultant said that President Obama and his operatives needed to hang this event around the necks of the Right.

How terribly, terribly sad.

Don't let them do it! CCRKBA is dependent upon the voluntary financial support from individuals like you who care about freedom in this nation.

Please Fax Congress right now and tell them to preserve your gun freedoms!

The Left is turning this into a politically-expedient event, as six people lay dead and a Congresswoman Gaabrielle Giffords fights for her life. The left is deliberately ignoring the facts and creating their own story as they go along, hoping to use this unspeakable event to further their anti-Constitutional, anti-gun agenda.

And ironically, Rep. Giffords is a staunch supporter of gun rights. When the Supreme Court struck down D.C.'s gun ban, she said, "I am a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. This is a common-sense decision that reaffirms the Constitutional right---and Arizona tradition---of owning firearms."

Please send your Faxes to Congress and demand they defend your right to bear arms. Don't wait---the anti-gun, anti-conservative rhetoric is only going to increase in the next few days, and Obama is going to use this crisis to further his anti-freedom, anti-Constitution agenda. We need your immediate support!

It is impossible to put a price tag on freedom, but I need your most generous contribution today, so I can ensure we have the resources to beat back anti-gunners who will stop at nothing to take away our right and ability to defend ourselves and our families.

I also ask you to join me in praying for Representative Giffords' swift recovery, and for the families of those who were injured or killed on Saturday.
