[QUOTE="okyite, post: 1636657, member: 6907"] Your National Association for Gun Rights has been warning you that H.R. 822 is a Trojan Horse. Just today, Republicans helped pass an amendment that orders the Feds to investigate the safety of mail-in CCW permits from states like Florida, Utah and New Hampshire. If you possess a NH, FL or UT permit, the Feds are going to investigate if these permits are safe. So-called pro-gun Republicans even KILLED an amendment that would have allowed permit holders to defend themselves in the District of Columbia, one of the most dangerous cities in the country. Over the past two days, amendments have been offered to require REAL ID-type government requirements on state CCW permits as well as giving Eric Holder the power to classify even more gun owners as terrorists. And while these amendments may have failed in the House, Harry Reids Senate is sure to put the screws to gun owners. The Senate DOES have the votes to impose a HOST of anti-gun amendments to H.R. 822 much like they have done with legislation in the past. While the institutional gun lobby has put its full support behind H.R. 822, gun owners just cannot afford for them to play poker with our gun rights. I have listed the phone numbers for every Republican on the Judiciary Committee below. Please make as many calls as you can expressing your displeasure with H.R. 822, but do it quickly before this monster gets even worse. -- Dudley Please call these numbers and demand that H.R. 822 be defeated at all costs: Rep. Lamar Smith R-TX 202-225-4236 Rep. Trent Franks R-AZ 202-225-4576 Rep. Darrell Issa R-CA 202-225-3906 Rep. Benjamin Quayle R-AZ 202-225-3361 Rep. Tim Griffin R-AZ 202-225-2506 Rep.

While the idea that all states should recognize a concealed weapons permit is sound public policy, the use of the anti-gun federal bureaucracy to implement it is simply foolish. Can I count on you to take action RIGHT NOW? Rep. Lamar Smith is the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee that will hear H.R. 822, the National CCW Registration Act. I need you to call House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith and make clear that you want to keep the governments hands off your permit and that you are opposed to federal intrusion into the concealed weapons permit process. Once the federal government is in the business of setting the standards for concealed carry permits, its only a matter of time before they start using that power to restrict our rights. Now you may hear arguments that this bill doesnt do that, and maybe thats true... for now. Even worse, once this bill starts moving, anyone can amend the bill with anything... and no legislation can bind a future Congress in any way. That doesnt count what Obamacrats in the Department of Justice might dream up as the regulations to carry out the legislative intent. Gun owners have enough trouble with Republican-run Executive branches implementing the law improperly. Does anyone really think the Obama Administration is going to treat gun owners fairly? I know many of you are frustrated that you can carry in some states but not others -- Im frustrated, too. I carry concealed every day, everywhere I go, and have worked to expand the ability of citizens to carry in dozens of states. I believe I should be able to carry concealed -- without a permit -- in all 50 states. Thats what bear arms means. Believe me, thats a long-term policy goal for the National Association for Gun Rights. But mark my words, H.R. 822, the National CCW Registration Act, will become nothing more than a Trojan Horse for even more federal gun control. I understand that many who support this bill sincerely just want their right to carry respected -- but cannot due to the fact that their state or another wont do the right thing. But the devil is truly in the details... and the details are where H.R. 822 gets sticky. This bill isnt just about the right to carry for self defense -- its a battle over the role of government and the ability to restrict our Second Amendment rights. Once gun owners let the Obamacrats start mandating whether states recognize permit reciprocity, they will want to mandate what it takes to get and keep those permits. Were talking about: More onerous standards to acquire a permit, so that only FBI agents can pass muster (look at New Yorks permit system); Higher fees; More training requirements; A demonstration of Need for a permit; More frequent renewal periods; Federally-mandated waiting periods; A national database of all permit holders, accessible by Attorney General Eric Holder; An extensive, federally-created list of Criminal Safezones, where only criminals will carry and where law-abiding gun owners are vulnerable; The list of potential problems is endless. I need you to call House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith at (202)225-4236 and make clear that you want to keep the governments hands off your permit and that you oppose federal intrusion into the concealed weapons permit process. I havent even mentioned that this legislation would shred the Constitutional Carry provisions that are on the books in Arizona, Alaska, Vermont and Wyoming. It doesnt stop with just concealed carry.

Im sorry, but I refuse to entrust my liberty and privacy to a trust us, they wont do that approach to dealing with Obama, the gun-grabbers or frankly most politicians of either party in Washington. I need you to make some noise, right now! Heres what you can do to help I need you to call House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith at 202-225-4236 and make clear that you want to keep the governments hands off your permit and you are opposed to federal intrusion into the concealed weapons permit process. Once youve called Chairman Smith, please consider chipping in $15 or $20 to help the National Association for Gun Rights continue to fight the anti-gunners in Washington. Its imperative that we stop H.R. 822 -- the National CCW Registration Act -- before it gathers steam and support. Liberal Republicans and so-called conservative Democrats are looking for an easy pro-gun vote to give them cover before the next election. A Trojan Horse gun control bill like H.R. 822 is exactly the kind of legislation that will get support on both sides of the aisle in Washington D.C.
