16 Republicans Vote To Move Forward on Gun Control

Colorado ––(Ammoland.com)- Yesterday, on the vote to proceed to debate on President Obama’s anti-gun agenda, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid succeeded in overcoming Senator Rand Paul’s filibuster.

And 13 NRA “A Rated” Republicans and 9 “A Rated” Democrats voted to help him do it (Plus 2 more NRA “B Rated” politicians).

I’m going to give you a list of these wolves in sheep’s clothing shortly, but our job now is crystal clear — let these turncoats know that any gun control that passes now is their fault.

But first it’s absolutely critical you know where this fight is now headed . . .

Unfortunately, the timing of the coming fights is extremely difficult to predict at this point.

So you and I must be on guard every second.

EVERY United States Senator needs to feel even more heat from Second Amendment supporters.

You see, even among the 31 Senators who stood with Rand Paul for the filibuster, there are some who are scared of Harry Reid and the media that they may cave in on some kind of insider deal.

Right now, the United States Senate could take up for discussion three amendments to S.649 as early as this evening, including:

  • *** The Feinstein Gun Ban, targeting rifles, shotguns and even handguns;
  • *** Magazine Bans, outlawing the importation, manufacture and sale of magazines holding more than just a handful of rounds;
  • *** The so-called “Toomey-Manchin” Universal “Background Check” (NATIONAL GUN REGISTRATION) Bill, which was actually written by Chuck Schumer (D-NY).
  • The S.649 language itself — even apart from all of these amendments — includes ATF Witch Hunt provisions designed to terrorize gun owners.

With Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid now calling the shots after invoking cloture on Senator Paul’s heroic filibuster of the motion to proceed, he holds all of the cards as far as timing.

If a vote becomes imminent, rest assured I will alert you IMMEDIATELY.

But there’s one thing I can assure you.

If you and I are going to hold off this madness, we’re going to have to fight back like never before.

It won’t be easy. I believe we can.

But the truth is, all of these assaults could have been turned back this morning.

In fact, if any bad legislation ultimately is passed into law, the blame can be laid at the feet at the following Republican turncoats who voted to end Senator Paul’s filibuster, including:

  • Lamar Alexander (Tenn.) – NRA A rated
  • Kelly Ayotte (N.H.) – NRA A rated
  • Richard Burr (N.C.) – NRA A rated
  • Saxby Chambliss (Ga.) – NRA A rated
  • Tom Coburn (Okla.) – NRA A rated
  • Susan Collins (Maine) – NRA C+ rated
  • Bob Corker (Tenn.) – NRA A rated
  • Jeff Flake (Ariz.) – NRA A rated
  • Lindsey Graham (S.C.) – NRA A rated
  • Dean Heller (Nev.) – NRA A rated
  • John Hoeven (N.D.) – NRA A rated
  • Johnny Isakson (Ga.) – NRA A rated
  • Mark Kirk (Ill.) – NRA F rated
  • John McCain (Ariz.) – NRA B+ rated
  • Pat Toomey (Pa.) – NRA A rated
  • Roger Wicker (Miss.) – NRA A+ rated

13 of these Senators have NRA “A-ratings.”

This is how the game is played in Washington, D.C.

And if you and I are going to retain any semblance of freedom in this country, the LIES politicians and any group that covers for them tell are going to have to be exposed for what they are.

That’s exactly what the National Association for Gun Rights has done during this fight — and exactly what we will continue to do.

The good news is, this fight is far from over.

If filibustered, each amendment will have to receive 60 votes to pass.

Then the legislation will have to overcome the 60-vote threshold to proceed to final passage through the Senate.

Perhaps the greatest danger is an insider-cooked “grand deal” that will include some token pro-gun “sweetener” — a minor protection or fake step forward on gun rights to make it easier for supposedly “pro-gun” Democrats and weak-kneed Republicans to sell to their constituents — wrapped around BIG gun control changes.

An example would be a mental health protection for veterans.

Another (bad) idea is a national concealed-carry reciprocity law, handing our federal government control over state concealed-carry laws.

President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder want more say over who can’t buy guns.

And they want more names of those who do, so they can set the stage for what every gun owner fears . . .

Ultimate CONFISCATION.

They’re doing everything they can to lay the groundwork for that tragic day right now.

I will keep you updated on any new developments as soon as they take place.

For Freedom,
Dudley Brown
Executive Vice President

What we really need to do is go back to the beginning. Install term limits. Re-allocate funding for congressional staff and place restrictions on lobbyists. We must remove subjugation to a ruling class in Washington, DC. and disallow a form for this and a form for that, that restricts our rights.

Constituents in the respective states of these senators need to sign petitions and write letters threatening impeachment, criminal trial, and recall elections.
Citizens in states not represented by these scumbags, need to threaten THEIR representatives with these same measures if they don’t do something about the oathbreakers. Ballot box before the bullet box as they say.

It’s time to get this vote over with. It will do no good to keep putting it off. Remember who votes which way and deal with that during the next election. I advocate that all incumbents get the “boot” and put some fresh ideas in our government. Remember that what they say to get elected is, perhaps, not how they vote after the election. How about recalling the ones that are not agreeable?

While everyone screams liberal the stage is set for the ultimate tyrants to return to power. As far as I know the Demoncraps haven’t committed any acts of terrorism on American soil just to take your rights like the RepubLieCons have. Want to see how blind and stupid Americans are? Wait until the next election and watch how many vote for another tyrant Bush. Vote them all out! Voting for either party makes you part of the problem, not part of any solution.

If a Bank is Robbed and the Money is carried out in a Black Brief Case, do you then Ban Black Brief Cases? Or look at the Bank’s Lack of security as an easy target for getting robbed?? Libtard politicians in this case think Banning Black Brief Cases will stop Bank Robbery.. This is a PTA / School Board school security issue, not a National stripping the Bill of Rights of all Americans because of a school board’s lack or ignorance of security procedures.
