Washington – -(AmmoLand.com)- You never pop the cork until they bang the gavel.
And GOA never declares victory until Congress has adjourned without passing anti-gun legislation.
But we may have turned a corner yesterday when the House Judiciary Committee reported three bills on its anti-gun agenda with zero Republican votes!
GOA’s grassroots have helped generate over THREE MILLION messages to Republican offices in the House, Senate and White House.
And there is no doubt that it is having a positive effect. Not one Republican supported the anti-gun agenda served up by committee Democrats.
More importantly, the very partisan vote in committee makes it very unlikely the Senate will even bring the bill up after it gets through the Pelosi-led House.
House Democrats Vote For Gun Confiscation
Among the bills passed was a “red flag” Gun Confiscation bill (H.R. 1236) which lying media outlets have fraudulently reported as gaining popularity among Senate and House Republicans.
This gun confiscation bill — which was rejected by all House Judiciary Republicans — contained a “bribe pot” of money intended to entice all 50 states into adopting this horrific proposal.
This action is another blow for legislation that has been drafted on the other side of Capitol Hill side by Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) — a bill which GOA is vigorously urging Senate Republicans to reject.
Also facing uniform GOP resistance in committee was a bill to ban standard-capacity magazines that hold over ten rounds (H.R. 1186). This bill passed by a partisan vote and will surely face a Senate filibuster and, presumably, a presidential veto.
And finally, committee Democrats pushed through H.R. 2708 — a bill which, among other things, would strip gun rights from a woman who threatened to throw a male pervert out of the women’s bathroom.
Our best chance of killing these three gun bills is by defeating them in the Senate — and the best way to do that is to make sure these bills don’t garner any Republican support in the House.
So please keep putting Republican House members “on notice” by sending them a message against these bills.

Our 2nd
Amendment!
Sent their letters, sent my own, donated. even bought a coffee cup and mouse pad.
Does the constitution even come into the thought process when democrats are looking for ways to infringe on our rights or do they even care as long as they get what they want?
You are assuming that the Democrats are capable thought process. All they want is to stay in power, get richER and expand their control over the population.
All those people who think that, “redistribution,” means from the top down are going to be disappointed when they find out it means from the bottom up. Those at the top figure those at the bottom haven’t got much so they won’t mind if the leadership takes the rest of what they have to make them equal with their neighbors.
The dims hate the US Constitution. Starting with Woodrow “He Kept Our Boys Out of War” Wilson who viewed the Constitution as an impediment to good government. The dims just want total control of everything. When you don’t/can’t believe in God, then what you want to do, or any action taken to facilitate your desires is OK.
Up until your last sentence, I agreed with you. Believing that Atheists are immoral while the “religious” are moral is 100% false. Too many “religious” people have shown the world how immoral they truly are. “Repenting” does not make “sinning” okay. I am an Atheist raised Methodist and I do believe in ethics and morality. I live my life the way Christians are supposedly instructed to live theirs, do unto others, etc.
@S; The Constitution exists and is relevant ONLY when they FEEL is supports their UNDERHANDED, BACK STABBING, CLOSED DOOR MEETINGS and CONNIVING ANTICS.
As Tucker Carlson said correctly a few days ago, registration and confiscation will ignite a civil war. Bring it on. I will not comply.
Big affirmative @ralph.
@ralph – No one who has witnessed mass violence and death could wish for such a thing. Though I applaud your willingness to resist if we come to the point of mass violence – do not believe we are there yet. History shows that peace is just a momentary pause between periods of normality (war) – we should be in no hurry to start the next war in thought that it will be brief and lead to another long period of peace. Rather we should strive to maintain both rights and peace, resorting to violence only in finality. Of course… Read more »
No one can read the Federal Constitution without concluding that the people who wrote it wanted their government severely limited; the words “no” and “not” employed in restraint of government power occur 24 times in the first seven articles of the Constitution and 22 more times in the Bill of Rights. — EDMUND A. OPITZ
You seem to think the US Constitution means anything to these people..
“Flimsy” Graham needs to get his head out of his ass. Teaming up with Richard “Vietnam Vet” Blumenthal is questionable to say the least.
@JB; Ole TURTLE NECK/greyham has been a dedicated DemocRATic RINO for MANY YEARS. He startled me when he acted as if he supported OUR President D. J. Trump.
Pelosi’ s face looks like a scrotum .
DAMN !!!! You really disgraced the scrotum !
VERY well-put.
Well-put.
We’d all be better off without Washington D.C. (the Federal government) calling the shots (pun intended).
The house is concentrating on busy work. They are doing nothing and trying to make us think they are working for us. AS of right now I don’t think Trump will sign any of these bills. He might surprise me and many others when he has said many times that the 2nd Amendment needs to be saved. I am listening to the democrat debates and I have had to roll up my pants legs several times and it is about time to get a boat.
@Tcat, Yeah baby! And the more nothing they do the better! I could not stand to waste a minute listening to those professional liars. Who is winning, Wonky donkey, Bonky donkey, or Honky donkey?
@ Wild Bill They are all going to save us and everything is wrong right now. There is not a sane, room temp. average IQ among them.
Two weeks later the deadmocrats are still doing nothing, and Honkey Donkey has over taken Wonkey Donkey for the lead! Yawwwwnnnnn.
At the democrat presidential debate on 9-12-2019, THERE WERE NO AMERICAN FLAGS ON STAGE. Know the enemy by their actions. The anti-American activist communist democrats TELL US every day they demand a communist America. NOT ONE democrat disagreed with Beta O’Rourke when he said he was going to take guns from the American people. Remember, all ‘gun control laws’ are unconstitutional. The Founding Fathers admonished us to ignore all unconstitutional ‘laws’. Because the PEOPLE are the power in the United States, NOT the government, our servant. People created governments. Governments exist because the People allow it. Carry always. Refuse to… Read more »
How can Americans begin the IMPEACHMENT PROCESS against EACH ONE of these CONs in CON-gress who have LIED UNDER OATH while taking the OATH OF OFFICE. The OATH OF OFFICE basically states that they SWEAR to DEFEND the Constitution from ENEMIES – – both Foreign and Domestic. From their actions, they LIED UNDER OATH!
@Laddyboy. Recall might be the answer.
Pelosi has been embalmed for years.
@USA; Here is a scary thought that hit me yesterday while discussing with my wife. IF President Trump – AND – Vice President Pence are both “murdered” – – – – The “speaker of the house” becomes president – – This means PALOOSY would be president. YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perish the thot…..
One good sneeze and her multiple face-lifts will fall. Then she would look like a bloodhound. Bitch.
Bloodhounds are better looking than her.
Didn’t she win the swim suit competition ‘ Miss Oil Can 1953’?
@ Alan in NH I had heard that also but it is not factual. I don’t know who started that rumor and I don’t remember the actual model’s name.
@Tcat, Maybe, but to get to where she is today … she has cleaned off a lot of dipsticks.
