Gun owners must wake up and join the NRA

Gun owners wake up — join the NRA

Democrats now control Congress. Their leaders are mostly rabid anti-Second Amendment/gun ownership, the likes of;

Senate — Clinton, Schumer, Feinstein, Boxer, Kennedy, Kerry

House — Pelosi, Conyers, Lautenberg, Waxman, Slaughter, Jackson-Lee

We can expect a 12-year full-blown assault on the Second Amendment and our constitutional rights of private gun ownership.

Some of their goals are:

? Required federal "arsenal" license to possess over 1,000 combined rounds of ammo, requiring three annual BTAF inspections of your home.

? Ban of small caliber handguns

? Ban of large caliber rifles

? Ban of magazines greater than 10 round capacity

? Ban of interstate mail order of ammo

? Fifty-percent tax on handgun ammo

? Seven-day wait to purchase handguns and any ammo

? Limit of one handgun purchase in 30-day period

? Federal photo ID to purchase handguns and any ammo

? Ban of semi-auto rifles, handguns, and shotguns and last but most dangerous the eventual signing of a U.N. treaty banning all personal ownership of firearms.

You think it can't happen here. Wrong! Look north to Canada, east to England, and south to Australia.

If you value your Second Amendment personal firearm ownership rights and do not currently belong to the NRA join it now. It's not perfect but is the only organization strong enough and well organized enough to fight and counter this upcoming assault. Each new member adds strength. To join, call 1 (877) 672-2000.
