Today in a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder, 65 Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives, led by Congressman Mike Ross (D-AR), expressed their opposition to the reinstatement of the failed 1994 ban on semi-automatic firearms and ammunition magazines. These congressmen cited numerous studies that proved the 1994 ban was ineffective, and they strongly urged Attorney General Holder to stop his effort and instead focus on the enforcement of existing gun laws.
NRA would like to thank Congressman Ross for his leadership on this effort. We will continue to work with Members of Congress from both parties on this important issue.
View the letter here.
If Dems oppose Dem bills, it is only because they are afraid of the result. They all would felonize us in a heartbeat.
Dear Democrats: don't tie an albatross around your necks. We hate dead albatrosses. We hates them, yes we does.
I just upgraded to NRA life membership. Anyybody else reading this should at least be an NRA member. I also belong to AZCDL (Arizona Citizen’s Defense League). Any Arizonan that cares about 2nd Amendment rights should belong to both.
IMHO
Re buying frenzy: how many executive orders in first 2 months of Obam!
They just remember what happened in 1994
They are all up for election. Two of the three newly elected Congressmen from NM signed the letter. Those two are from Rep districts that went Dem last fall. One of the two is from Southern NM where we lost due to a weak candidate and the other is from ABQ and is a radical enviro-wacko who rode in due to ACORN and on Obama's coattails. His signing is a total surprise.
Arizona Citizens Defense League (AzCDL)
They do VERY good work lobbying for 2nd Amendment freedoms here in AZ.
Great minds think alike. My first thought, exactly. That's a real shame, too.
