Off Topic But Important

[peter nap]

As a knife maker I am concerned with losing the right to make and own weapons. Today we are hours away from the most disgusting attack on our RKBA that has ever happened........going away. That of course is the Assault Weapons Ban.

The Anti's have planned a Call In on the 9th to extend the ban. Many Pro Gun groups are urging a counter call in. I have attached email on the subject.

I hope all of us whether we are assault rifle people ( I am not really) will call and let our representatives know that we don't want to lose this part of the constitution.

Thanks and here's the email.
Moderators, I've never posted over here so if there is a better place, please move it.


Various gun organizations are reporting that the antis are going to
try one last push to get President Bush and Congress to cave in and
pass an extension to the Assault Weapons Ban (AWB).

They are planning a large call-in on September 9th.

We are so close to actually watching the AWB monstrosity die on
September 13th that we probably shouldn't take any chances.

Thanks to Bob Marcellus for making sure the information on the
call-in was brought to my attention and to the Second Amendment
Sisters for an alert they sent out.

Find your representatives at the following links:

Congress - http://www.house.gov/writerep/ (You'll be able to send
email directly from this page.)

Senate - Call Senator George Allen at 202-224-4024. That is the
quickest and best way to contact him for this. However, if you wish
to send an email, click here:

http://allen.senate.gov/?c=email&which=Standard

If you know who your representatives are, you can call the Capitol
Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask to be transferred to their
offices.

Also, you can leave a message for President Bush, asking him to let
the AWB die. Here is his phone number (from 9 AM to 5 PM):

202-456-1111

Email: president@whitehouse.gov

Suggested message:

"Please let the Assault Weapons Ban sunset on September 13th. The ban
has had 10 years to show its worth, but has failed to do so. Recent
studies by the CDC and others have shown the ban to be totally
ineffective against crime.

Let me know what you are going to do."

VCDL, let's make sure that our voices drown out those who don't
believe in our precious freedoms! An important victory is almost
within reach - a roll-back of the AWB will be a well-deserved
crushing blow to the Brady Bunch and their cronies.

I'm going to copy this thread to a couple of other forums -- let's get the word out!

Don't just paste in the suggested message; put it in your own words even if it's only a slight difference. That will make them take your message a lot more seriously.

Thank you for not referring to the AWB as the "Clinton Assault Weapon Ban"!

This ban was initially put in place by George H.W. Bush. Clinton just expanded it. And now it's Bush's son, George W., who will sign--not veto--it if passed.

And hopefully it will not pass. But if it does...will it be the "Bush Assault Weapon Ban"?
