From GOA re Collins-Ayotte amendment to H.R. 2578. Seven Republican senators have already caved to move the amendment forward.

Text of automated email you can send:
I urge you to oppose the anti-gun Collins-Ayotte amendment to H.R. 2578.
Gun Owners of America has provided a detailed analysis of the problems with this amendment -- at http://gunowners.me/28NfIf8 -- but in brief, this amendment will:
1) Allow Attorney General Loretta Lynch to deny, by fiat, the right of Americans to buy a firearm without any due process.
2) Only allow effective “due process” for the very wealthy, who can afford to put the up-front $10,000-$100,000 to make their appeals.
3) Perpetuate the Obama administration’s war on gun owners.
Obama’s Justice Department has perfected the harassment of gun owners. Remember when USA Today reported (on 1/20/16) that the FBI is no longer processing the appeals of gun owners who have been illegitimately denied?
How can Congress consider passing the Collins-Ayotte text that will allow thousands of additional gun owners to be illegitimately denied, without first dealing with the inoperative appeals process that was intentionally broken by a belligerent Obama administration?
None of the anti-gun proposals you will vote on this week would have stopped the Orlando terrorist from getting a gun.
But repealing Gun-Free Zones and broadening the right to carry would have made a difference -- just like the Ohio bar employee who shot a prospective mass killer to death last June, protecting the lives of EVERYONE in that bar.
Gun Owners of America is rating the Collins-Ayotte amendment as an anti-gun amendment. They will tell me how you vote.
And I will remember in November.
