Looks like .GOV is trying to hoodwink us again while the media focus is on the election campaign.

Like HR1022, this is is a bugger.

Contact your REP ASAP and let them have an earful.

Go here:

Look up YOUR .GOV employee

Tell them how you feel about HR 6257

Let's kill bill before he becomes the "law".

"A Right Unexercised is a Right Lost"

General apathy towards your rights, all of them, is the same as leaving them unexercised. Many natural born citizens tend to be apathetic to their rights, lets change that for the better.

The dim Dhims don’t want you to be able to defend yourself or resist the gubmint decrees. The dim Dhims want to own you. The dim Dhims hate and are afraid of anyone with a different opinon that what they decide is correct and in compliance with their commands.

The dim Dhims and the left want us all dead or subservient. The left and the Dhims are the end of the civilized world.

Keep your weapons, buy more ammo. Hide them well.

When does the armed revolution begin? How long before a military coup in America?

Sir, them’s fightin’ words. How dare you refer to my Congress-critter as a Republican. Ain’t no such thing - he’s a dyed-in-the-wool RINO, tending to the left.

You’d think a politician would be smart enough to avoid anti-gun legislation during an election year.

I can't believe the stupidity at a time when Republicans are already being shunned by their conservative base and are having a hard time getting any donations, that five Republicans would dare to reintroduce this at this time.

I've never seen a stronger reason to never again send them a dime. This will be an election with no winner, and plenty of losers.
