DEMS PUSH BUSH ON GUN BAN STANCE -- Democrats want to continue
Clinton¹s ban on randomly selected semi-automatic rifles AND gun
magazines holding over ten rounds. The ban is set to expire in
September of 2004, but George W. Bush says if Congress passes it,
he¹ll sign it.

Headlines Today (Friday)

HASTERT SAYS NO DECISION ON ASSAULT WEAPONS VOTE Republican
House Speaker Dennis Hastert said Thursday that Republican
leaders have not decided whether to schedule a vote to renew a
ban on assault weapons, backing away from comments from another
GOP leader.

MAKE YOU FURIOUS?

You Can Actually Kill a Terrible Gun Control Law
by Brian Puckett

May 13, 2003

KeepAndBearArms.com -- In 1994 Bill Clinton and the Democrats
pushed through an unconstitutional ban on a random list of
semi-automatic rifles that they (mendaciously) called ³assault
weapons,² thus setting a terrible precedent: they can add ANY GUN
to that list, including YOURS.

And don¹t worry, the Democrats eventually WILL add your gun to
that list. Don¹t believe it? Consider this: the Democrats banned
the manufacture, sale, and import of ALL such guns in the entire
state of California three years ago.

And that same Clinton/Democrat ¹94 ban says that you¹re too
DANGEROUS or STUPID or WORTHLESS to own a rifle or pistol
magazine holding more than 10 rounds. It BANNED new production or
import of the normal-capacity magazines we¹ve been using all our
lives.

Oh yeah the Democrats think that cops and other law-enforcement
personnel are better than you, and that their lives are worth
more than yours. They said this by making cops immune to the ban,
allowing police to get normal capacity mags, not limited-capacity
like yours. This means the ban doesn¹t affect the armed guards
watching over Ted Kennedy and Dianne Feinstein, either. They have
full capacity magazines in their guns.

A QUESTION FOR YOU

Do you want to HELP WIPE OUT the Clinton ban on so-called
"assault" weapons and high-capacity magazines?

Good! Sorry, but you can¹t do it telepathically or by whining or
griping to your friends. You¹ll have to spend a few minutes. But
you¹ll never break a sweat.

It¹s utterly simple. Not FUN, but it can be done calmly, sitting
down in a comfortable chair with a soft drink in one hand,
listening to talk radio in the background. You can handle it,
believe me.

THE FACTS, JACK

PHONE CALLS AND LETTERS/POSTCARDS are how politicians keep their
finger on our pulse. They figure if you¹ll take a few minutes and
spend a couple of bucks for long-distance calls or postage,
you¹re SERIOUS about your message.

No, there¹s no way to measure the influence of cards and calls,
but Congressmen continually tell us this is how they know what
issues to support or not to support. I tend to believe them on
this matter, if nothing else. Remember, their goal is NOT to
protect the Constitution except perhaps Ron Paul of Texas but
to get RE-ELECTED. Listening to their most active and vocal
constituents is how they do it.

By the way, they DON¹T REALLY CARE about emails, so I¹m not going
to bother giving email addresses. Emails are too easy to send,
and don¹ t represent commitment and deep feeling on the part of
constituents or party members. Emails come in by the millions,
are responded to automatically by a robot and then dumped. Don¹t
waste your time.

HERE YOU GO LAID RIGHT IN YOUR LAP

First, call at least TWO of the numbers below.

When they answer, tell them you want to leave a comment.

They¹ll say ³Sure, go ahead.²

Just something like ³If the Clinton gun and magazine ban is
renewed, I will not support/vote for (Bush, Republican Party,
etc).² No need to get emotional or speak volumes.

The phone handler on the other end will mark your comment on
their issues list and say ³Thank you,² and you¹re done.

It¹s easy. I¹ve done it many, many times. I¹m going to do it
again a few more times in the coming months.

By the way, for all you DEMOCRATS: Your party is pushing hard,
and consistently - at both the state and federal levels - to
completely disarm Americans. You may not give a damn about that,
but you should be aware of it.

COME ON, EASYCHAIR PATRIOTS

Start with House Majority Leader, Republican Tom DeLay ‹
202-225-5951

Then Senate Majority Leader, Republican Bill Frist ‹ (202)
224-3344

Then Speaker of the House, Republican Dennis Hastert ‹ (202)
225-2976

Then the White House ‹ (202) 456-1111

YOU DID IT! FEELS GOOD TO ACTUALLY TAKE ACTION, DOESN¹T IT?

NOW File this email in your ³SAMPLES² folder (or make a NEW
one) or ADD THIS STORY to your website FAVORITES list. You¹re
going to need it again in a few months when I bug you again. But
it¹s for your own good. And for the good of your children and
grandchildren.

FOR REALLY SERIOUS ACTIVISTS

‹ Grab a piece of paper out of your copier tray and write by
hand, or open up MSWord or WordPerfect.

‹ Write one or two sentences about your feelings regarding his
support for this unconstitutional ban on selected semi-automatic
rifles and magazines holding less than the normal amount, and how
it will affect your vote for him and/or support for the
Republican party.

‹ Write or print out four copies. Sign them. Address the
envelopes with the info below, stamp them, mail them. Not really
that tough, was it?
