EMAIL ALERT - September 25, 2007
Dear NHFC Members and Supporters,
Politicians frequently will slow things down to see if the opposition
ceases. They gauge voter anger by sustained action.
That is why it is critical that you call Senator John Sununu AGAIN
immediately at (202) 224-2841 and Senator Judd Gregg at (202) 224-3324
and tell them not only to oppose Senator Schumer's unanimous consent
motion to steamroller HR 2640, PECDA, the Psychiatrist Empowerment and
Citizens Disarmament Act, also called by GOA the Veteran's Disarmament
Act, over gun owners.
This bill will disarm you if:
* You are a battle-scarred veteran suffering from Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder; or
* As a kid, you were diagnosed with ADHD.
Not to mention the fact that your ailing grandfather could have his
entire gun collection seized, based only on a diagnosis of Alzheimer's
(and there goes the family inheritance).
Gun owners have been desperately fighting this bill for several months.
You will remember that it passed in the House with an unrecorded voice
vote in June and was later passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee
-- also without a recorded vote. This agreement could come about in the
next few hours or the next couple of days!
This agreement is extremely diabolical, as it would eliminate the
ability of pro-gun senators to offer amendments which would clean up
the legislation... and would grease the skids for immediate passage!
But there is good news: In order for Schumer's "agreement" to prevail,
he must get "unanimous consent." This means that just ONE single
senator can block it. That means Senator Jim Webb could be a hero and
save the day.
PLEASE Call call Senator John Sununu AGAIN immediately at (202)
224-2841 and Senator Judd Gregg at (202) 224-3324 and tell them to
oppose a unanimous consent motion by Senator Schumer.

You'd think that when rabid, anti-gun legislators like Sen. Charles
Schumer and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy join together to pass anti-gun
legislation, it would raise a few red flags.
But these two New York Democrats are currently planning to roll over
gun owners with H.R. 2640 -- legislation which would bar you from
owning guns if:
* You are a battle-scarred veteran suffering from Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder; or
* As a kid, you were diagnosed with ADHD.
Not to mention the fact that your ailing grandfather could have his
entire gun collection seized, based only on a diagnosis of Alzheimer's
(and there goes the family inheritance).
Gun owners have been desperately fighting this bill for several months.
You will remember that it passed in the House with an unrecorded voice
vote in June and was later passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee
-- also without a recorded vote.
Sen. Schumer is pushing hard to pass this legislation -- dubbed the
Veterans Disarmament Act -- so he is circulating an "agreement" which
would waive the Senate rules in order to bring up and pass the bill.
This agreement could come about in the next few hours or the next
couple of days!
This agreement is extremely diabolical, as it would eliminate the
ability of pro-gun senators to offer amendments which would clean up
the legislation... and would grease the skids for immediate passage!
But there is good news: In order for Schumer's "agreement" to prevail,
he must get "unanimous consent." This means that just ONE single
senator can block it.
ACTION: Please contact your two U.S. Senators RIGHT AWAY and urge them
to OBJECT to Senator Chuck Schumer's "unanimous consent agreement" to
steamroll H.R. 2640, the McCarthy anti-gun bill.
You can use the pre-written message below and send it as an e-mail by
visiting the GOA Legislative Action Center at

also available).
----- Pre-written letter -----
Dear Senator:
Currently, anti-gun zealot Chuck Schumer is trying to get "unanimous
consent" to steamroll the Senate in connection with Carolyn McCarthy's
anti-gun bill, H.R. 2640.
If this bill is passed, an American would be barred from owning guns if:
* He is a U.S. veteran suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder;
or
* As a kid, he was diagnosed with ADHD in connection with the IDEA
program.
Not to mention the fact that an ailing grandfather could have his
entire gun collection seized, based only on a diagnosis of Alzheimer's
from a Medicare home health provider (and there goes the family
inheritance).
Gun owners don't support this legislation, better known as the Veterans
Disarmament Act. The Military Order of the Purple Heart is opposed to
it, having stated on June 18 of this year, that "For the
first time the legislation, if enacted, would statutorily impose a
lifetime gun ban on battle-scarred veterans."
Please place a hold on the McCarthy bill and object to any unanimous
consent agreement to discharge the bill.
Sincerely,
