Legislative Action Alert: 2nd Amendment at stake!

THE VOTE BELOW WAS DELAYED UNTIL THURSDAY....STILL TIME TO CALL YOUR (PRETENDED) REPRESENTATIVE NOW TO VOTE AGAINST THIS ANTI-CONSTITUTIONAL BILL...

October 19, 2005

Early this afternoon, the U.S. House will vote on the "Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act" (S. 397). Like most things in Washington, appearances are often misleading. S. 397 is no exception.

After a thorough analysis of the legislation, Gun Owners of America warns, "...S. 397 is gun control pure and simple. The Kohl [Senator Herb Kohl, D-Wisconsin] trigger lock amendment would effectively impose a 'gun tax' on all handgun purchases. Worse, the amendment leads gun owners to the verge of mandatory trigger lock usage, which would actually endanger lives by rendering self-defense firearms useless."

There is little time. Please urge your U.S. representative to vote "no" on S. 397. Tell him you won't be misled by the smoke-and-mirror tactics of politicians and special-interest groups in Washington.

Call the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121. Operators will connect you to your U.S. representative's office. You can also use our directory at

The House will likely vote on S. 397 around 1:30 p.m. today. Please call now.
