In the O'Reilly interview, Schumer showed his hand when he revealed the strategy for this bill. Because it could become such a hot potato -- thanks to your efforts -- Senator Schumer is pushing to get this bill passed by Unanimous Consent in the Senate, which basically means that the bill would get passed WITHOUT A VOTE.

This is a perfect way to pass gun control without anyone getting blamed... or so they think. We need to tell every Senator that if this bill passes without a vote, then we hold ALL OF THEM responsible. (Be looking for a future GOA alert aimed at your Senators.)

You can modify GOA's talking points to make it look more original; the more original it looks, the better. Just don't copy it as is.

Ok, lemme float this idea out there for general consumption...

Lets say this all goes down...And “our” personal information is somehow collected by the government...For whatever nefarious purpose...

Obviously the vehicle for this collection is based upon a gun-control bill...

Logically you must realize the government already has your personal information already on you...Its been like that for years...

If the offensive nature about this bill is that it is being collected based upon provisions in a gun-control bill...That is certainly cause to be concerned...But what is it you think they’ll do with this information (that they already have to begin with)...

Is the threat based upon the correlation between your personal information, and that you may have guns??? Is that what this could be construed as???

I’m not surprised, and yet I do value the privacy of my fellow gunowners and their opinions on this...

Of course I see the smoke, but someone show me where the real fire is on this thing...

How can the Senate pass anything without a vote, as there is no chance whatsoever of “unanimous consent”?

I hope that everyone who voted for or gloated over the Democrat victory in 2006 will now consider the consequences of having the far left wing in control of both houses of Congress.

Hmmm. I "considered the consequences" and bought a 870 Express Magnum (as a companion piece to my other one), a replacement barrel for my Garand and an additional 1200 rounds. Since I'm not part of your big lie, have those of you who insist on electing liberals "considered the consequences"? Blackbird.

Schumer, an anti-American homegrown terrorist, is giving notice. Americans who value gun ownership rights guaranteed by our Constitution had better buy their weapons and ammo now. Time is coming when all gun sales will be criminalized and gun owners will be heavily regulated and hounded by
authorities”.

There’s a better chance George W. Bush would get an Executive Bonus from Congress by unanimous consent than this bill getting through that way.

Thanks for the link. I still am not comfortable with the idea. Stalinists are controlling the Congress now. Remember how the commies abused psychiatry in the Soviet Union.

I am suggesting that those folks who voted for Democrats in 2006 consider changing their vote next time, so I am not sure what your reference to a "big lie" might be.

As to buying more guns, well, I am wholly in favor of that. In fact, I am considering enlarging the collection a bit myself.

Are you saying that the government already knows the make, model, serial number of every gun I own? Even those purchased privately?

The whole point is - the government, by this law and those in the future built on it, would provide a complete list of all firearms owned - thus, you pigeon hole some away for a "rainy" day - they will "Know" and you will be in deep doo when they come to confiscate and you don't give them up.

That was wayyyyy TOO easy!!!

You get an “F” for effffffffort! ;-)

But an “A” for understanding the show!

Think of it like this...The gun-control agenda is like that fly in the ointment...You can pick that carcass out of there, and the oinment’s still good, right???

Its frustrating to know there is an effort to get your guns on this...And yep, that their goal...

I would say their chances of success are non-existent...

The problem is there will be too many of us that will not turn them in, or allow them to be confiscated...

And there is not a single enforcement agency out there with the numbers, or will, to enforce an order to do so...

Its aggravating to watch, and I find myself getting caught up in it from time to time...But all I know is that I still have my guns...And many others I know still do as well...And its just going to be extremely difficult for that fact to change...

Does that idiot Carolyn McCarthy realize that a single citizen with a concealed weapon could have saved her husband’s life?

"Are you saying that the government already knows the make, model, serial number of every gun I own? Even those purchased privately?"

Nope, thats silly...They could find out the ones you did buy with the info on the 4473's you got out there...

"The whole point is - the government, by this law and those in the future built on it, would provide a complete list of all firearms owned - thus, you pigeon hole some away for a "rainy" day - they will "Know" and you will be in deep doo when they come to confiscate and you don't give them up.

Absolutely...But I refer you to the latter part of post #15 for a reality check...

You, like many others, and myself, have the right idea...Just don't go counting chickens before the eggs actually hatch...

Take the notoriously anti-gun senator from New York -- Chuck Schumer. He has been very, very excited this week. Recent events have given him a platform, and the excuse, to push legislation that he had sponsored years ago -- legislation that never got through Congress.

"I've come to believe that he needs a certain level of violence in this country. He's willing to accept a certain level of killing to further his political agenda." Wayne LaPierre of the NRA was widely blasted when he made this comment during the Klintoon Administration, but Upchuck Schumer seems determined to prove that LaPierre was right on target.
