To The Pro-2nd Amendment Rights Supporters Of The State Of Illinois
On Wednesday, the U.S. Senate took up the most expansive gun control legislation in two decades.

Thanks to your help, the Toomey-Manchin “Background Check” (NATIONAL GUN REGISTRATION) Amendment was defeated, dealing a setback to President Obama’s gun control agenda.

Unfortunately, YOUR U.S. Senator, Mark Kirk, revealed his true colors by REPEATEDLY VOTING FOR anti-gun legislation and AGAINST your Second Amendment rights.

In fact, Senator Kirk voted in lock-step with your other gun-grabbing U.S. Senator, Dick Durbin, for the Draconian Assault Weapons Ban and the standard capacity Magazine ban.

He was the ONLY "Republican" to do so.

NAGR ALERT – They are trying to ram through motions to vote on the Gun Legislation TODAY.

Urgent Message To Illinois Voters – I Called Mark Kirk, And They Are Taking Calls – Tell Mark Kirk Not To Support Harry Reids Attempt To Pass Gun Legislation.

This morning, the United States Senate will vote on the motion to proceed to President Obama’s gun control legislation.

If Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is able to break Senator Rand Paul’s filibuster, all bets are off.

Senators Pat Toomey (R-PA) and Joe Manchin (D-WV) struck a last-minute “deal,” which hands the gun-grabbers virtually everything they’ve been calling for since this fight began in the wake of the Newtown tragedy.

But this is no surprise when you consider news I heard from one inside source at the Capitol.

Senator Chuck Schumer actually drafted the legislation behind the scenes!

That’s why it’s absolutely vital you call your Senators IMMEDIATELY.

Sen. Richard Durbin: (202) 224-2152

Sen. Mark Kirk: (202) 224-2854

Please urge them to “Stand With Rand” and oppose the motion to proceed to any bill that’s designed to serve as a vehicle to RAM President Obama’s gun control scheme into law.

Gun Owners Of America – Another Alert – Its Not To Late

Read The Letter, And Then Send The Free FAX Below To Your Senators:

http://www.capwiz.com/gunowners/issues/alert/?alertid=62580936

The Toomey-Manchin sell-out is worse than the Feinstein gun ban, which will reportedly be tied to it on the same amendment tree.  

Toomey and Manchin will claim that their bill only covers "gun show sales" and Internet sales.  But if you've ever talked about your gun and /or let it be known you'd like to sell or buy a gun on the Internet, this language covers you.  If you advertise your gun in the church bulletin and the bulletin is put on the Internet, you're covered.

The only exemption is for sales that are sold exclusively by word of mouth.  The increased number of background checks would likely exacerbate the system breakdowns (inherent to NICS) which have shut down gun shows over and over again. It would mean that Americans who were illegally denied firearms because their names were similar to other people's would effectively be barred from owning a gun.  (We would never tolerate such delays for voting rights or other freedoms that we are guaranteed.)

And for those Republicans who think they're going to be able to offer their useless amendments, guess what?  Reid is reportedly going to use an amendment tree to block out all amendments.  And there are plenty of Senators standing in line to make sure that the Senate doesn't give "unanimous consent" to set that blocking effort aside.

So if you live in a rural area, you're effectively barred from selling or buying a gun - or it at least becomes very, very difficult.  

Incidentally, the Toomey-Manchin "national registry" language is full of holes.  There will be a national gun registry as a result of this sell-out.

But that's not the worst part.  Under an amendment in the bill to HIPAA, you could have your guns taken away because your private shrink thinks you're "dangerous" and could send your name directly to the FBI Instant Check system.  

Did you think it was terrible that 150,000 military veterans had been added into the NICS system because they'd seen a VA shrink about their PTSD?  Well guess what?  Now it's going to happen to the rest of the population ... by the millions!

And the next step, of course, will be to begin to sue psychiatrists that don't send every single patient's name to the Instant Check system, and to make sure that their lives are ruined if they don't send a patient to NICS and anything goes wrong.  

The bottom line:  "See a shrink; lose your guns."  

All of this will reportedly be on an amendment tree with the Feinstein gun ban and magazine bans.

In addition, Toomey no doubt unintentionally agreed to repeal one of the most important protections for gun owners that was included in the 1986 McClure-Volkmer Act - the provision that would allow you to take an unloaded, locked-up gun through states like New York without being stopped.  Under a new subsection (c), the Toomey-Manchin bill would require you to "demonstrate" to the satisfaction of New York police where you were coming from and where you are going to.  And, if you don't do that to their satisfaction, they can arrest you.

Please understand that nothing in this bill would have stopped the Newtown dirtbag from killing his mother and taking the firearms that she owned and perpetrating the horrible crimes that he committed.

Nothing is this bill would actually make children safer at schools.  There is nothing that will actually keep bad guys from stealing or illegally acquiring guns, but there's plenty that will threaten our gun rights!

Please vote against cloture on the motion to proceed to the "see a shrink; lose your guns" / Feinstein gun ban amendment tree.

Yes, 2014 is another prize that we had better win...more tea partiers in Congress...NOW!  This time I mean real tea partiers.  Rand Paul severely disappointed me with his Hagel vote.  I don't know if I can support him wholeheartedly anymore.

ILLINOIS CITIZENS
This is the worse I have seen it in decades.

URGENT ALERT – YOUR ACTION REQUIRED
FREEDOM UNDER FIRE THIS WEEK IN SPRINGFIELD
CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND COMPLETE WITNESS SLIPS

The Illinois House Judiciary Committee has announced a pair of hearings on proposals to eliminate 2nd Amendment rights here in Illinois. Information on these two committee hearings is as follows:
1. Tuesday, 19 February, at Noon in Room 114 of the State Capitol Building, Springfield.
2. Friday, 22 February, at 10:00 AM, Room 600, Bilandic Building, 160 North LaSalle St., Chicago
During each of these hearings, committee members will be debating just how they plan to eliminate private firearm ownership in Illinois. They will certainly be discussing means to ban and confiscate 85% of the firearms currently owned by Illinois citizens. They will also be discussing how to confiscate magazines holding more than 10 rounds. Other topics of debate will also include “universal licensing and registration,” shutting down gun shows, and restricting concealed carry.
It is critically important that law-abiding firearm owners flood both committee meetings. Otherwise, anti-gunners will take control of the meetings with disastrous results for freedom loving citizens. Be sure to get to the meeting rooms at least a half hour early to ensure that you get a seat. Be sure to wear IGOLD shirts and hats.
If you cannot attend either of these meetings, they please complete an on-line witness slip for each meeting by going to these two sites:
http://my.ilga.gov/WitnessSlip/Create? committeeHearingId=10447
and
http://my.ilga.gov/WitnessSlip/Create? committeeHearingId=10464
Contact your representative in the Illinois House and urge him or her to join you in not supporting any further gun control in Illinois.
Keep in mind that your rights are under sustained attack! We cannot let up on our defense of the 2nd Amendment. It is highly critical that you let these committee members know how you feel.
HERE’S ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU NEED TO DO TO SAVE YOUR GUNS:
1. Give copies of this alert to all your friends, neighbors and relatives. Tell them to follow the instructions carefully.
2. Post this alert to any and all Internet blogs or bulletin boards to which you belong.
3. Join or Renew your membership to the ISRA. Also, a monetary donation would help us greatly in our fight to preserve and protect your right to keep and bear arms.
REMEMBER: Gun control is a disease, you are the cure.

Carry the mission to The Capitol! Join your fellow Illinois Gun Owners in Springfield on March 6 at IGOLD - Illinois Gun Owner Lobby Day - igold.isra.org
