Here is the GOA's alert, gleaned from various press sources:

http://capwiz.com/gunowners/issues/alert/?alertid=62330756

Take a look at that...50%-80% of ALL guns in circulation could be affected!  Taxed the $200 NFA registration fee, never able to sell it.

What are you going to do about it?

Being in Arizona gives me hope...we've already told the feds to kiss ass more than once.  Definately better than a lot of other states.

I'm not holding my breath "for nothing to happen", especially with John "Common Sense Means Close The Gunshow Loophole" McChurian as our senior senator.

Re: Oppose All gun control legislation

Senator Flake:

Press reports now make it clear what Vice President Joe Biden's gun control package will look like. Biden wants to impose:

* A Feinstein-like semi-auto ban which, according to experts who have done the counting, could ban up to 50% of all long guns currently in circulation and up to 80% of all handguns.

* The framework for national gun registration and confiscation by requiring every gun transaction to have a Brady Check.

* Supposed "toughening" of anti-gun trafficking measures, but without doing anything about the man responsible for allowing more gun trafficking than any other American -- Attorney General Eric Holder (with his Fast and Furious program).

Let me backtrack and explain a couple of things: Increasingly ATF is going into gun dealers and xeroxing all of the 4473's. This is illegal under McClure-Volkmer, but, in case you hadn't noticed, Obama is increasingly ignoring the law when it inconveniences him.

Thus, if every gun transaction in America must have a Brady Check, every gun in America could presumably be fed into a national registration system by ATF by simply copying the 4473's.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo -- a man who gives you a pretty good idea of where gun control is going -- said, on the front page of the New York Times, that "confiscation" of firearms is an option. Obviously, having a registration list makes such a task much easier.

But what about so-called large-capacity magazines?

First of all, millions of gun owners own these magazines for defensive purposes. To take away a homeowner's right to choose these devices will simply make honest citizens less safe -- especially, when they are facing multiple attackers.

Moreover, police have sometimes had to fire 20-30 rounds to finally stop just one drug-crazed individual from shooting. This just underscores why, quite often, good guys will need more than just six-shooters.

Second, there are tens of millions of such magazines in circulation. What are you going to do about them?

Third, changing magazines (or switching guns) is not a big deal for people like Adam Lanza.

Fourth -- and perhaps most important -- this is a game the anti-gun zealots have played before: They threaten to kill the Second Amendment, and then negotiate their way back to "merely" eviscerating it.

I agree with Gun Owners of America that these infringements are gross violations of the Second Amendment.

Please oppose ALL gun control -- including magazine limitations and universal background (registration) checks -- being proposed by the Biden commission.

                                                                       

                                                                              Sincerely,

                                                                                  Tom-Ass
