The Trojan Horse, aka, HR822!
Here is the latest news you won't see or hear from the Lamestream Media on HR 822, aka, the trojan horse gun control bill!! Yup, it's already happening and some of it even from Republicrats in the House!!
Dear Virginia Gun Owner, As I type this, all-out war has been declared on your gun rights in Washington, D.C. by the House Judiciary Committee. Your Virginia Gun Owners Coalition has been warning you that H.R. 822 is a Trojan Horse. Just today, Republicans helped pass an amendment that orders the Feds to investigate the "safety" of mail-in CCW permits from states like Florida, Utah and New Hampshire. If you possess a NH, FL or UT permit, the Feds are going to investigate if these permits are "safe." So-called "pro-gun" Republicans even KILLED an amendment that would have allowed permit holders to defend themselves in the District of Columbia, one of the most dangerous cities in the country. Over the past two days, amendments have been offered to require REAL ID-type government requirements on state CCW permits as well as giving Eric Holder the power to classify even more gun owners as "terrorists." And while these amendments may have failed in the House, Harry Reid's Senate is sure to put the screws to gun owners. Thanks to the "Nuclear Option" the Senate DOES have the votes to impose a HOST of anti-gun amendments to H.R. 822 much like they have done with legislation in the past. While the institutional gun lobby has put its full support behind H.R. 822, gun owners just cannot afford for it to pass. Please call the numbers below before this monster gets even worse. Once gun owners let the Obamacrats start mandating whether states recognize permit reciprocity, they will want to mandate what it takes to get and keep those permits. We're talking about: More onerous standards to acquire a permit, so that only FBI agents can pass muster (look at New York's permit system); Higher fees; More training requirements; A demonstration of "Need" for a permit; More frequent renewal periods; Federally-mandated waiting periods; A national database of all permit holders, accessible by Attorney General Eric Holder; An extensive, federally-created list of Criminal Safezones, where only criminals will carry and where law-abiding gun owners are vulnerable; The list of potential problems is endless. I have listed the phone numbers for every Republican on the Judiciary Committee below. Please call these numbers and demand that H.R. 822 be defeated at all costs: Rep.
