Fuck Obama and this bill.  I'm sorry if he is for a gun or ammo bill then we are getting fucked somewhere or he is setting us up for a future fucking.


That's why we need to stay vigilant.  Let him send out this peace offering (which from everything in it I've read is a very good bill).  We can let this through without opening a door for him to push some other bill.  If he tries to use it as justification for a new AWB, then we'll tell him to suck a big fat cock.

(Quote should be COC 10-OK since GOA is sending it out as an alert.)

Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) –– who is “F”rated by Gun Owners of America –– is pushing a “hunting” bill that authorizes the Obama administration almost unlimited power to seize private lands for“environmental” purposes.

Anti-gun Majority Leader Harry Reid has scheduled Tester’s bill for a vote, and it will probably take place on Thursday.  
 
ACTION:  It is imperative that gun owners contact their Senators and ask them to OPPOSE S. 3525.  Click here to tell them that the modest conservation gains allowed in the bill are totally offset by giving unelected
bureaucrats the authority to steal land from hunters and private property owners.

BACKGROUND  
(1) When the “wetlands” provisions of the Clean Water Act were originally enacted, no one could have foreseen that a landowner would go to prison for applying clean dirt to a junkyard adjacent to a sewer, which was determined to be “wetlands.”  But environmentalists have been brilliant in taking seemingly innocuous programs and massively expanding them through fraudulent interpretations or tiny loopholes.
 
(2) S. 3525 has “sweeteners.” It allows archery bows to be transported through national parks under very limited
circumstances, although Obama could do this by administrative fiat.  It also allows, but does not mandate, Pittman-Robertson funds to be used for target ranges. But none of these small discretionary provisions offset the potential damage this does to the rights of individual landowners.

(3) THE ISSUE OF LOST OPPORTUNITY:  If this is the Democrats’ sop to gun owners, it may make it a lot more difficult to secure national concealed carry reciprocity or to stop anti-gun measures and treaties.
THE CENTRAL PROBLEM WITH S. 3525 The central problem with the bill is that it allows seizure of private lands for “aquatic habitats” [Sections 201(8) and 204 (d) (2)]. The definition of this term is limitless and includes seizure of lands  in order to “protec[t] the quality and quantity of water sources” and to “serv[e] as a buffer protecting the aquatic environment.” [Section 201

(2)] Thus, a factory that “pollutes” can be seized to protect an “aquatic habitat.” The only real limit on seizure in
Section 204 is the requirement that the government manage the seized property “in accordance with the purposes of this subtitle.” WHO ARE THE DECISION MAKERS? The National Fish Habitat Board consists of
27 members. The initial members (Obama appointees) select the remaining members.  Thus while the “commercial fishing industry” supposedly has a representative,  you can bet that that fisherman is an Obama-supporter and will support his agenda.

The board then enters into “partnerships”  with, inter alia, outside groups. And you can bet that every liberal
environmental organization in the country will now be feeding at this pig sty.  The outside groups recommend fish habitat programs and plans for seizing private lands.

Bottom line:  This will give immense powers to unelected bureaucrats –– a clear violation of the Separation of Powers which our Founders implemented as a way of protecting our rights.

WHAT ABOUT SECTION 211 (e) (2)?

This supposedly requires the consent of landowners prior to having their lands seized. But, note the sneaky loophole: Section 211 (e) (2) applies only to property that is being seized with federal funds and, under Section 204 (e), half the funds need to come from non-federal sources.

So while this section is put forward as a “protection,” it actually doesn’t provide total immunity because the government can take a land owner’s property using non-federal funds –– and there is no protection in the bill against that.

the NRA supports it as well, have fun with the mental gymnastics that will result from this





















When Congress reconvened this week, one of the first items the U.S. Senate voted on was S. 3525, "The Sportsmen's Act of 2012."  As we reported last week, S. 3525 is an essential piece of legislation focused on the expansion and enhancement of hunting, recreational fishing and shooting on federal public land.  But it's more than that.  



Of critical importance is the fact that, in addition to promoting land access, S. 3525 would amend the "Toxic Substances Control Act" to prevent this and future administrations from using the Environmental Protection Agency to eliminate the right of hunters, shooters and anglers to use traditional ammunition and fishing tackle.  The bill would amend the law to clarify that the EPA does not have the authority to regulate shot, bullets or sport fishing equipment.  



The bill also allows for the importation of polar bears legally taken from approved populations in Canada before the 2008 ban.  



Last week, a motion to proceed to S. 3525 passed by a vote of 84 to 7.  This week, Senators voted 84-12 to advance S. 3525.



The bill now awaits a vote on final passage, which is scheduled for Monday, November 26.      



Please act now to secure support for this critically important bill that would prevent the EPA from regulating your ammunition!  Please contact your U.S. Senators TODAY and ask them to support S. 3525.





No pun intended but that's the bait. Ooooh wow look they're going to curtail the EPA's efforts to ban lead ammo yaaay!!! That's how they suck you in and get you to vote for their shit. If the bill said nothing but that, then it'd be fine. You and I both know that's not the case, lets not kid ourselves.

Yeah.

I got a pretty darn good pile of Brit used rifles that once belonged to members of British gun clubs that had to turn them in  when the clubs had to close their doors. They were simply thrown in crates and sold off in lots to overseas buyers.

The way it was explained to me by one such importer was first they confined their subjects strictly to the clubs (unless they were landed royals of some flavor) for target shooting and then in very large part took that away from them too.

I'm sure I'm deficient on the exact particulars of British gun clubs demise but one thing is for sure and that is the Feds don't need to get into the civilian range business. Bad mojo.

Yep,  First step to not allowing shooting except on "approved" facilities.   Whats next storage restrictions????  Sounds like a first step to where the English are at.

The lefties will soon only allow us to shoot in approved facilities on fed land...for now.

Look lets be realistic, Obama is downright mild compared to the icons of the Republicrats, Reagan and Bush 1. Both did more to damage the second amendment then any other president in the last 200 years. Reagan had more anti-gun bills go through and get signed then any before him and Bush 1 was the architect of what would become the AWB that Clinton signed.

We need to quit acting like Obama is the devil and Republicrats are saints on this issue and realize we need to push hard on both sides and get them to recognize the 2nd for what it is and protect it with every fiber.

And before you statist pukes come in and preach on about your wooden messiahs and vilify my statement, this is not a endorsement of Obama but a reminder that no one from our elected bodies does anything to expand your freedom any longer unless it has something for them in the long game.

Senate to vote on the Federal Land Seizure Act on Thursday

Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) –– who is “F” rated by Gun Owners of America –– is pushing a “hunting” bill that authorizes the Obama administration almost unlimited power to seize private lands for “environmental” purposes.

So while this section is put forward as a “protection,” it actually doesn’t provide total immunity because the government can take a land owner’s property using non-federal funds –– and there is no protection in the bill against that.

the NRA supports it as well, have fun with the mental gymnastics that will result from this





















When Congress reconvened this week, one of the first items the U.S. Senate voted on was S. 3525, "The Sportsmen's Act of 2012."  As we reported last week, S. 3525 is an essential piece of legislation focused on the expansion and enhancement of hunting, recreational fishing and shooting on federal public land.  But it's more than that.  



Of critical importance is the fact that, in addition to promoting land access, S. 3525 would amend the "Toxic Substances Control Act" to prevent this and future administrations from using the Environmental Protection Agency to eliminate the right of hunters, shooters and anglers to use traditional ammunition and fishing tackle.  The bill would amend the law to clarify that the EPA does not have the authority to regulate shot, bullets or sport fishing equipment.  



The bill also allows for the importation of polar bears legally taken from approved populations in Canada before the 2008 ban.  



Last week, a motion to proceed to S. 3525 passed by a vote of 84 to 7.  This week, Senators voted 84-12 to advance S. 3525.



The bill now awaits a vote on final passage, which is scheduled for Monday, November 26.      



Please act now to secure support for this critically important bill that would prevent the EPA from regulating your ammunition!  Please contact your U.S. Senators TODAY and ask them to support S. 3525.





No pun intended but that's the bait. Ooooh wow look they're going to curtail the EPA's efforts to ban lead ammo yaaay!!! That's how they suck you in and get you to vote for their shit. If the bill said nothing but that, then it'd be fine. You and I both know that's not the case, lets not kid ourselves.







Have you read the bill?





Do you trust Obama?




On this?



Yeah.



This is a good bill.


Really? Spending when we should be cutting is good? Wow, you were just bought like any other member of the FSA.  




Have you read the bill?


Yes, and GOA's response. You're willing to be bought off?

I'd say it's Obama's way of saying later when the anti-gun stuff starts going around that he is pro-second amendment. He supports guns...just not those pesky, child killing assault rifles.

I am slightly less worried about the gun issues with bill as much as the potential private property seizure. Especially since part of my property is bordered by a river.

Every private property owner in the nation should be concerned about this bill's implications.
