The 113th Senate was sworn in on Thursday so it iis time to write them and remind them of the oath they just took.
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.

This includes the 2nd amendment.

If this thread is in the wrong spot please feel free to move or remove it if needed.

Feinstein's New Gun-Ban Bill Likely to be Introduced January 22

Contact your members of Congress and urge them to oppose any "assault weapon" or magazine ban

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.)--author of the federal "assault weapon" and "large" ammunition magazine ban of 1994-2004--has said for weeks that she will soon introduce an even more restrictive bill. Leaders in the U.S. Senate have stated that January 22 will be the first day on which new Senate legislation can be proposed, so that is the most likely date for the new, sweeping legislation to be introduced.

On Dec. 17th, Feinstein said, "I have been working with my staff for over a year on this legislation" and "It will be carefully focused." Indicating the depth of her research on the issue, she said on Dec. 21st that she had personally looked at pictures of guns in 1993, and again in 2012.

According to a Dec. 27th posting on Sen. Feinstein's website and a draft of the bill obtained by NRA-ILA, the new ban would, among other things, adopt new definitions of "assault weapon" that would affect a much larger variety of firearms, require current owners of such firearms to register them with the federal government under the National Firearms Act, and require forfeiture of the firearms upon the deaths of their current owners.

I live in Illinois. We have some crazy laws being proposed in my state. I've been writing & calling my Federal & State elected officials since the tragedy at Sandy Hook.

If this thread is in the wrong spot please feel free to move or remove it if needed.

Oh it will get moved. There is a 2nd Amendment sub-forum just for these discussions.

done as well. Here's a fairly good letter a guy posted over on DefensiveCarry that he said any one was free to use as well if they felt inclined.

The horrors of the Newtown, Connecticut school shootings are continuing proof that the 1995 "Gun-Free" School Zones Act is an absolute failure. It has spilled our children's blood.

· Mass GFZ shootings have increased 370% since the GFSZA was implemented.
· Adam Lanza violated 41 separate laws during his shooting spree.
· Connecticut is in the top 5 of the states with strictest gun laws.
· Chicago, the city with the strictest gun laws in the nation, racked up a whopping 532 murders in 2012 - more than military deaths in Afghanistan.

More gun control is not the answer. To the contrary, it is proof that it is time to repeal the "Victim Zones" created by the GFSZA. Any further support of GFSZA is a criminal act.

Anti-gun organizations and morally corrupt politicians are seizing on the opportunity to push for more gun control and trample our constitutional rights. In reality, this push is about controlling "We The People", not controlling guns.

Governments have been responsible for at least 170 million civilian deaths in the 20th century. It always starts with gun registration and control. Do not advance this hellish legacy.

Do NOT allow more gun control. Honor your Oath of Office. Make NO compromises.

Evil always exists – it can only be vanquished with force and vigilance.

Evil cannot be "legislated" away.

I urge you to do three things:

One - Oppose ANY new gun restrictions, in any degree or form. Make Senator Feinstein's unconstitutional restrictions DOA. Shut down all HR bills that attempt any form of control. Do NOT allow Senators McCain and Reid to change the senate rules on filibustering.

Two - Repeal ALL CURRENT Unconstitutional "laws" which infringe on our rights to bear arms. Repeal ineffective, murder-enabling "laws". Remove the Victim Zones.

Three - Introduce or co-sponsor favorable supporting Second Amendment legislation to reinforce the permanence and constitutionality of the Second Amendment.

My community, family, friends and myself will be watching your actions, and will vote, donate and campaign accordingly.

Bill
