 BARACK OBAMA AND CONGRESS PUSHING
THROUGH BANS ON GUNS AND GUN SHOWS! The
Second Amendment is under assault as never before -- and the "anti-gun" forces could win this time...
Unless YOU AND I take action NOW to stop them! TELL
CONGRESS TO REJECT
ALL BANS ON GUNS AND GUN SHOWS:
SEND YOUR FAXES NOW! As a presidential candidate, Barack Obama deliberately and repeatedly LIED to America's 90 million
gun owners across the country, when he insisted that he would NOT try to take away anyone's firearms.
 Now, Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder is saying that the president will seek to reinstate the ban on
semi-automatic firearms -- which means he KNEW he was lying to the nation, because his own website touted his plan
to revive the gun ban and make it permanent!
We warned America that Obama's "support" for the Second
Amendment was empty rhetoric -- and now Holder's disclosure has confirmed it. Obama was lying,
and now gun rights may be dying.
Several times on the campaign trail, Obama told
voters, "I'm not going to take your guns away." He said it at rallies in Duryea, Pennsylvania, and in Boise,
Idaho. He also told a news conference that "Lawful gun owners have nothing to fear... I think people can take me at my
word."
One thing is now obvious: We shouldn't take Obama's word, even if he says it rains a lot in
Seattle. Apparently, law-abiding gun owners have nothing to fear... UNLESS they own sport-utility rifles,
semiautomatic shotguns, handguns and any other firearm that Obama and his anti-gun Attorney General don't like.
Thanks to Eric Holder -- who has been far more honest than his boss about his anti-gun philosophy -- it is now clear
that the new president doesn't support the Second Amendment at all. American gun owners should remind Democrats
in Congress that the Second Amendment means what it says, especially when the president doesn't.
TELL CONGRESS TO REJECT
ALL BANS ON GUNS AND GUN SHOWS:
SEND YOUR FAXES NOW! It doesn't stop there! Senators Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ), Jack Reed (D-RI) and Dianne Feinstein
(D-CA) have joined Paul Helmke, President of the "Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence," along with victims and
family members of the Virginia Tech tragedy, to introduce legislation to ELIMINATE the private transfers of firearms
and close the nation's "gun show loophole."
You read that right. Did you know that
YOU are considered "irrational" if you support private gun sales? Sen. Lautenberg says so! "There
is no rational reason to oppose closing the loophole. The reason it's still not closed is simple: the continuing power
of the special interest gun lobby in Washington." BUT, not only are YOU irrational for supporting private
gun sales -- they also must think you're an IDIOT because, with NO supporting evidence, Lautenberg fell back to the disproven
old "90% Obama Mexican Gun" Lie: "Thirty percent of the guns that go to Mexico are bought at
gun shows. We don't know whether they're bought from unlicensed dealers, but logic would say let's have some idea
who it is that bought those guns and what their intentions might be." Independence Institute researcher
David Kopel has written about the so-called "gun show loophole," concluding that it is a myth:
"Despite what some media commentators have claimed, if a dealer sells a gun from a storefront, from a
room in his home or from a table at a gun show, the rules are exactly the same: he can get authorization from the FBI for
the sale only after the FBI runs its 'instant' background check."  Even the Bureau of Justice Statistics report entitled "Firearms Use by Offenders" found that less than one
percent -- 0.7%, to be exact -- of guns used in crimes originated at gun shows.
None of this
matters to the Gun Grabbers -- New York's Democrat Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand have now
proposed that computerized background checks be retained, creating a de facto gun registration system; and Lautenberg's
bill proposes private transactions be added to this registration system!
This is an OUTRAGEOUS violation
of the Second Amendment!
TELL CONGRESS TO REJECT
ALL BANS ON GUNS AND GUN
SHOWS:
SEND YOUR FAXES NOW!
Why are Obama, Lautenberg, and other liberals in Congress doing this?
Motives for eliminating gun shows
are twofold:
First, gun shows are a powerful tool in defeating gun control legislation. Grassroots
activism burns like a brushfire when Second Amendment supporters gather in one place!
Second, If you can
eradicate the gun show, you are a HUGE step closer to eradicating the pro-gun culture altogether.
Lautenberg
and the Gun Grabbers in the Senate are also lying about the Virginia Tech gunman who had a background check at a legal
gun store, just so they can try to justify themselves. There were abundant warning signs that he posed a serious threat to
the campus. Yet he was running loose because the gun check system failed.
It's obvious that the Anti-Gun
Coalitions are trying to use tragic events to destroy gun shows and the right of all Americans to keep and
bear arms to protect themselves under the law. They are attacking and hiding behind an "Anti-Terrorist"
Agenda while getting political and financial support from: - George Soros, a Hungarian-born billionaire
who is bank rolling efforts with his checkbook and spending more that $100 million to destroy the
Constitution.
- Sen. Dianne Feinstein (CA), who admitted that "guns would be banned
and confiscated" if she could have her way.
- The United Nations, which actively
pushes globalism seeking to disarm all Americans.
We must Stop the Anti-Gun Coalition and
get ready for the biggest gun control fight of the year from coast to coast. We can not do that without your support. TELL CONGRESS TO REJECT
ALL BANS ON GUNS AND GUN SHOWS:
SEND YOUR FAXES NOW! All that seems to be on the minds of the Anti-Gun Senators and at the offices of gun control extremists is figuring
out how to exploit tragedy to erode and eventually destroy the right, and the means, of self-defense.
Like all
other threats against our freedoms, we must rise and defeat these attempts by Obama and his followers -- we must slap these
bills down hard.
 Sens. Dick Durbin (D-IL), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Charles Schumer (D-NY), John Kerry (D-MA), Ted Kennedy (D-MA), Carl Levin
(D-MI), Ben Cardin (D-MD) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Robert Menendez (D-NJ) cosponsor the current Senate legislation.
And Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is working to make sure that all of the anti-gun legislation passes over on the House of Representatives
side.
In order to stop Schumer, Kerry and Kennedy and their fellow gun-grabbers, we need to let Congress know with
tens of thousands of faxes telling them to leave guns alone.
We need Americans
like YOU who understand what our Founding Fathers envisioned for our nation... and who are willing to fight to defend our
Constitution and for what it stands.
So please, help the Citizens Committee defeat those who wish to gut
and trash the United States Constitution.

| Major Victory for American Workers Right to Self-Defense
Fairfax, Va. – Today, a three-judge
panel of the U.S. Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unanimously in support of allowing employees to store legally owned
firearms in locked, private motor vehicles while parked in employer parking lots. This decision upholds
NRA-backed legislation passed in 2004.
“This is a victory for
the millions of American workers who have been denied the right to protect themselves while commuting between their homes
and their workplace,” said NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre. “This effort was aimed at skirting the
will of the American people, and the intent of legislatures across this country while eviscerating Right-to-Carry laws. This
ruling is a slap at the corporate elitists who have no regard for the constitutional rights of law abiding American workers.”
In March 2004, the Oklahoma
legislature passed an amendment holding employers criminally liable for prohibiting employees from storing firearms in locked vehicles on company property.
A number of corporations subsequently filed suit in opposition to the new laws, alleging they were: unconstitutionally
vague; an unconstitutional taking of private property; and preempted by various federal statutes. The lower
court ruled in favor of the injunction.
“This issue was contrived by the gun control lobby who goaded corporations into doing their dirty
work for them,” said Chris W. Cox, NRA chief lobbyist. “However, this ruling is a vindication
for every hardworking and lawful man and woman whose basic right to self-defense was taken away on a whim by corporate lawyers.
NRA is prepared to defend this right and to ensure the safety of every American worker.” In October 2008, Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry and Attorney General Drew Edmondson appealed to the
Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals the lower court decision to strike down the NRA-backed worker protection laws.
Today’s proceedings handed down by Circuit Judges Paul J. Kelly, Bobby R. Baldock, and Michael W. McConnell reversed the lower court’s grant of a permanent injunction.
