AWB Renewal Vote THIS WEEK - Call your Senators Tu
Wagion
Member Posts: 2,464 ✭✭✭✭✭
S.659, the bill that will help eliminate frivolous lawsuits against the firearms industry, will be taken up in the Senate this week, possibly as soon as tomorrow. It is widely reported that Sen. Feinstein will attempt to amend the bill with a renewal of the 1994 "Assault Weapons" Ban.
The anti-gun lobby is staging a "phone-in" tomorrow (Tuesday, February 24th) in opposition to S.659. Though the bill already has enough co-sponsors (54) to ensure passage, a filibuster could still be attempted, which is presumably what the anti-gun side is hoping for.
To ensure our elected officials know they will lose more votes than they gain by supporting a renewal of the AWB, we all need to do our part by calling our Senators and voicing our strong opposition to the Feinstein AWB renewal amendment that will be offered for S.659... not only should this ban not be renewed, it should not be allowed to cloud the issue of whether S.659, an unrelated bill, should be passed.
The anti-gun folks are asking their people to call between the following hours:
9:00 AM - 1:00 PM Eastern Standard Time
8:00 AM - 12:00 PM Central Standard Time
7:00 AM - 11:00 AM Mountain Standard Time
6:00 AM - 10:00 AM Pacific Standard Time
Call 202-224-3121 and ask for one of your Senators' offices (you'll have to call back to reach the other one).
Even if you've already called your Senators in the past few weeks, CALL AGAIN tomorrow. Be polite, but firm in your opposition to Feinstein's AWB renewal amendment. Please spread the word to everyone you know.
Thank you, everyone, for taking an active role in ensuring this useless ban does indeed sunset this September.
If force ain't work'n... Your not use'n nough of it.
I know the spelling is bad but guess what I DON'T CARE

Just be sure you tell them you support the frivolous lawsuit bill so long as it does NOT have a new AWB attached to it as an "amendment." Personally, I think such an attempt to amend it would be defeated, but you never know. See these links for contact info:

Don't really expect one. Not considered to be a fair
question.
Byrd has a dropdown on his e-mail site that forces you to select a pre-assigned subject. I guess that's so his staff can look at the subject and pitch it without having to waste their time reading it.
I sent e-mails to both of them but I'm sure it's just spittin' in the wind. The dumasses here in "Westbygod" just keep sending those two worthless POS's back, term after term. At least when I was in Virginia, we changed 'em around every so often.

Here's what I said:
Senator Hagel:
It has come to my attention that certain self-centered anti-Second-Amendment senators (Diane Feinstein of California in particular) are seeking to attach a renewed, non-sunsetting and even more restrictive "Assault Weapon Ban" as a "rider" onto S659, a bill which is intended to prevent frivolous lawsuits against firearms manufacturers.
As a strong believer in the Second Amendment, I find such political shenanigans by self-serving anti-firearm elitists like Feinstein to be totally unacceptable---disgusting, in fact. I therefore ask you to do all that you can to insure that no such rider is allowed attachment to S659, and---as a service to all your pro-Second-Amendment constituents---please inform Feinstein and her "allies" that the firearm owners of this country DO NOT appreciate their puerile tactics or their clear intent to create an unarmed citizenry, howsoever incremental their attempts at implementation.
Thank you for your time and attention regarding this most serious matter.
Now, my Indiana reps may be mostly pro-gun, but they STILL may need some advice on how to vote if S.659 come at them with an AWB renewal attached. I don't consider that a "healthy compromise." I consider that trying to slip one by the American People. So I'm willing to sacrifice S.659 for now rather than see a new AWB pushed through with it. And I told them they can defeat S.659 if they have to, good though it may be on its own, with my blessing. You guys should also do something along these lines. IMHO. And do it before 1 pm Eastern. They may have to wrap it up at the office and go vote early this afternoon sometime.
C'mon guys. Time's a-wastin'... and the anti-gun loonies are lighting up the phones, you can bet.
