HR 2640 is the most dangerous far-reaching assault on your Second
Amendment
Rights since the Democrats gained control of Congress!
Congress is authorizing $750 million to make a substantial expansion to
the
instant background check database -- the very system that is violating our
Constitutional right to keep and bear arms. This new money will be used
to
collect and store your personal information including your medical
records.
HR 2640 will allow shrinks (psychologists and psychiatrists) and
bureaucrats to decide who can own and possess firearms. Currently under
the National Instant Check System (NICS) a person becomes a prohibited
person, regarding firearms possession, when that person is "adjudicated a
mental defective," "by a Court." HR 2640 removes your due process rights,
and greatly expands the definition of a "prohibited person" to anyone who,
in the opinion of any shrink or government bureaucrat, could possibly be a
danger to oneself or another. For example, under HR 2640 you won't be able
to call witnesses on your behalf; in fact, there won't even be a hearing.
Many of our great service men and women would be prohibited from owning
firearms, if, when returning from serving our country, they are labeled
"dangerous" because of a visit to doctor for stress. We all know that our
great service men and women see and experience situations that may
continue
to give them nightmares. Are these events good reasons to permanently ban
firearms owner****p for these individuals? They just finished serving our
country and now they may be barred from even owning the firearms they used
to defend this great nation. This was tried by the Clinton administration;
the names of 83,000 veterans were sent to NICS to become prohibited
persons. Under HR 2640 these 83,000 veterans would be banned as well as
thousands more.
HR 2640 also expands the list of "prohibited persons" by allowing shrinks
to decide who is a "danger". We already know that many "professionals" in
the psychiatric field believe that a firearm in the hands of any American
is dangerous and therefore no person should have them. You can imagine the
utter chaos this legislation will create!
Any medical "professional" could also make a similar determination. We
already know that many pediatricians believe that any household with
firearms is "dangerous," even if they are properly stored. Senior citizens
who have trouble balancing their checkbooks could become prohibited
persons
under a finding of "disability" or "incapacity.
Closet anti-gun politicians love legislation such as this. So far,
politicians have hidden behind voice votes on this bill. HR 2640 is a
Trojan horse. It sounds justified on the outside with promises of keeping
mental defectives from having firearms, but a closer look at the details
reveals a huge expansion in those who will become a prohibited person; an
expansion that could potentially include most Americans.
Wa****ngton insiders think gun owners will be fooled by their veiled
attempts to ban firearm owner****p. They'll go to great lengths to silence
the grassroots, and to absolve themselves of responsibility if it does
pass
(and becomes yet another tool to the gun banners).
Just witness the latest issue of the American Rifleman. They admit that
gun owners are mad, and have been contacting them.
And then they attempt to justify their sup****t of this bill by saying
"Trust us".
Well, we don't trust them. And we certainly don't trust Cong. Carolyn
McCarthy. Nor do we trust Sen. Patrick Leahy,
Take a look at what sup****ters of this bill are saying about it:

This bill has already passed the House of Representatives with a sneaky
voice vote and is expected to be voted on in the Senate soon! That is why
we need you to contact your Senators today. This will be our only chance
to stop this erosion of your rights!
P.S. Together we can stop the Wa****ngton insiders who want to eliminate
private firearms owner****p in the U.S.

PRE-WRITTEN MESSAGE TO SENATORS:
Dear Senator,
Please don't allow gun control to pass on your watch. Gun owners don't
want to expand the "Instant Check" (NICS), we want to repeal it. It is
simply wrong to penalize US Citizens by eliminating due process and
assuming they are guilty until proven innocent. I encourage you to stand
against the anti-gun Leahy bill, the Senate version of HR 2640, which the
House passed when leader****p snuck it through . Anti-gun zealots
relentlessly push to prohibit more citizens from exercising their Second
Amendment right. Your fight against the Leahy bill will prove that you
are
committed to the Second Amendment.
Sincerely,
______________________________________________
