No More - Mr. Nice Guy It's time for Congressmen to get off the pot
GOA ^ | Apr. 4, 2013 | GOA Staff

GOA has been issuing multiple alerts recently because of the imminent danger that is facing us

Speaking on Meet the Press on March 10, Speaker Boehner said that he has "made clear if the Senate acts on gun control legislation, the House will consider it."

Not only that, in an article entitled "House GOP Leaders: We can pass gun control, immigration, without Republican support," Breitbart.com reported that on issues like guns, Speaker Boehner was open to "taking rogue Republicans across the aisle to work with Democrats." The House leadership quickly backtracked from this position once the Breitbart article was published.

Regardless, this just underscores how we can't forget about the House, and how we need to keep the pressure on congressmen – especially the Republicans.

Sadly, at a time when the House leadership announces that they support universal gun registry legislation we get nothing but excuses, excuses, excuses about why many GOP congressmen have not signed onto the Stockman-Broun letter.

Representatives Steve Stockman (R-TX) and Paul Broun (R-GA) are doing a bang-up job in the House. They are two of the most active leaders working to defeat gun control in Congress.

And to that end, the Stockman-Broun letter uses precedent to call upon Speaker Boehner to reject all gun control legislation unless it has the support of 117 Republicans. This is called the "Hastert Rule." And, if Boehner follows it, virtually no gun control can come to the floor of the House. Virtually none.

So far, more than 25 pro-gun Representatives have signed onto the Stockman-Broun letter-

It's very frustrating, however, when we have asked pro-gun Congressmen to sign onto the Stockman-Broun letter to tell Speaker Boehner NOT to bring up gun control, but we hear all kinds of excuses as to why they can't.

If your congressman has NOT cosigned the Stockman-Broun letter, then please contact him or her immediately. Demand that your Representative sign the letter invoking the Hastert Rule to kill gun control in the House.

Apparently we had a ban on some weapons during the 90’s. Did that have any affect on crime at all? If it didn’t then what the heck are they doing? I agree with zero changes but dang these Democrats might be wasting their time if nothing good happened in the 90’s with regards to gun control.

They want all of our guns so that they can:
1.Have total control of the population.(That’s better than sex,just ask Bloomberg.)
2.Loot our savings.
3.Impose the homo agenda.
4.Have total access to our children,for any purpose they see fit.(See #3)

Each of us needs to call, wire, or write both the congresscritters and the senatesitters with our demands; then we need to start rotating them OUT - I think two terms are more than enough to get them thinking they DESERVE to stay until they can retire!
Many of these creatures apparently don't realize the reason for the 2nd Amendment is to (1) protect against a tyrannical government AND (2) protection from hostile forces i.e. robbers etc.

The fix is in. My only question is whether Axlerod’s blackmail video of Boner shows naked boys, dead girls, dope, or bags of cash.

It needs to be made CRYSTAL CLEAR to these bozos that "excuses as to why they can't" = a ticket home at their next attempt at re-election. Period.
