Buried in this massive 1.3 trillion dollar Omnibus spending bill are two provisions empowering federal bureaucrats to wage war on your Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
The House is scheduled to vote on the Omnibus bill in a few hours, so we must act fast.
Campaign for Liberty staffers are faxing House and Senate offices with your pro-Second Amendment directives, but with the vote hours away, we need to do more to put maximum pressure on Congress.
So please call your Representative immediately at 202-224-3121 and tell them to vote NO on the big spending, gun-grabbing deal.
Then please forward this link to as many of your pro-Second Amendment friends and family as you can, and if you are able to, please share this message on social media to make sure as many people as possible learn about this latest threat to our Second Amendment rights and help Campaign for Liberty turn up the heat on Congress.
The first anti-gun provision in the Omnibus is a so-called “fix” to the unconstitutional National Instant Check Background System (NICS). NICS is the database gun dealers are “required to use to determine if a potential customer has federal “permission” to buy a gun.
Of course, the NICS is totally ineffective at stopping gun crime as criminals do not purchase their guns through legal dealers and most mass shooters are not in the federal database. What the NICS is effective at is threatening the rights of ordinary Americans and making it more difficult for innocent people to defend themselves.
And the NICS “fix” will mean more Americans -- especially veterans -- will have their names added to NICS database and will lose their Second Amendment rights without due process. Many more will lose their rights because of a clerical or computer error.
So please call your representative at 202-224-3121 and tell them to vote no on the Omnibus bill.
As bad as the NICS “fix” is, it is not the most dangerous anti-gun rights provision in the bill!
You see, the Centers for Disease Control uses your tax dollars to produce “studies” justifying treating the right to keep and bear arms as a public health issue, requiring massive government intervention . . .
These studies will be used to justify expanded gun control measures such as giving government even more power to take away our Second Amendment rights without due process, creating more “gun -free” zones, increasing surveillance of lawful gun owners, bans on specific types of weapons, and restricting the rights of those deemed too young or too old to own a gun.
Even worse, touting gun ownership as a “public health issue” will deputize every health professional in the nation to look for reasons why their patients should lose their Second Amendment rights. Those who resist could suffer severe consequences -- including malpractice suits and loss of their license to practice medicine.
So please call your representative at 202-224-3121 and tell them to oppose the Omnibus spending bill.
Then please forward this link to as many of your pro-Second Amendment friends and family as you can, and if you are able to, please share this message on social media to make sure as many people as possible learn about this latest threat to our Second Amendment rights and help Campaign for Liberty turn up the heat on Congress.
