Last year the House successfully passed a concealed carry reciprocity bill to protect gun owners’ Second Amendment rights from anti-gun state governments.
Unfortunately, that bill had gun control legislation attached to it. And now anti-gun politicians in the Senate are blocking any action on concealed carry…
…instead, they want to pass the Schumer-Feinstein-Cornyn bill which they claim will fix the “broken” NICS background check system. In reality, it will end up preventing millions of law-abiding Americans from exercising their Second Amendment rights.
Steve, this is absurd. The FBI’s background check system isn’t merely broken, it needs to be abolished.
Join us in standing up for your Second Amendment rights. Call your Senators at 202-224-3121 and demand that they abandon the Schumer-Feinstein-Cornyn bill and pass a CLEAN concealed carry reciprocity bill.
The NICS gun control bill is yet another attempt by anti-gun politicians in Washington to slowly strip law-abiding citizens of their Second Amendment rights.
The Schumer-Feinstein-Cornyn bill spends two-thirds of a billion dollars to force states and federal agencies to send every possible name to the NICS database.
But this will block millions of Americans from buying a gun for something as simple as forgetting to pay a traffic ticket or for merely getting psychological counseling (as has already happened to more than 257,000 military veterans).
We cannot let this happen. Call your Senators at 202-224-3121 today and demand they abandon the Schumer-Feinstein-Cornyn bill and pass a CLEAN concealed carry reciprocity bill.
In Liberty,
Erich Pratt
Executive Director
Gun Owners of America

When the back ground system was passed the SCOTUS actually declared it unconstitutional but the states went ahead and adopted it anyway. That same background check system was then brought back to the supreme court by the ACLU as violating the rights of the mentally ill and this portion was upheld, so the provision for the mental illness check was stripped out and the felony check was left in place.

So we have a system based on the unconstitutional standard of assuming guilt while mandating proving innocence; however, the federal officials (thanks to the ACLU) have no right to assume the same thing about mental illness.

Sounds like something the US Congress would dream up. What could possibly go wrong in this system.

Hmmmmmmm...
