[QUOTE="Dale00, post: 2083129, member: 688"] This is good info. Contacts with Coburn need to focus on reasons why extended background checks are a bad idea. For instance: Senator, I understand you are in favor of expanded background checks for firearm transfers. To support expanded government checks on firearms transfers is to be blind to the possibility of a future tyrannical government. You are a physician and should understand the principle of "First, do no harm." Extending background checks harms the ability of the Second Amendment to protect us from a future out-of-control government, by increasing the likelihood of registration. Please change your course. Expanding background checks is a feel-good solution that will not keep guns out the hands of the dangerous. It will only cause them to obtain guns in other ways or seek other methods of killing. Once extended checks are imposed and more mass killings occur, there will be an outcry for registration. It will be claimed that background checks were not enough and we must register every gun to prevent private undocumented transfers. With registration in place the Second Amendment and freedom will die as guns are taxed, penalized or confiscated out of the hands of citizens. And you will have been partially responsible. Please change your course. Please step out of your role as a Senator and into the shoes of the founders. They recognized the tension that exists between citizens and their government. They recognized that power corrupts and governments cannot be trusted to regulate themselves to avoid abuses of power. They recognized that an armed citizenry is necessary as a doomsday defense against tyranny. We cannot compromise that defense by taking steps that lead towards registration. We need you to fully understand the importance of the Second Amendment and avoiding all erosion of it. Please change your course and get back in tune with the foundations of our liberty. Do not sell us out. [/QUOTE]
