NSSF needs your help
« on: December 03, 2015, 10:50:33 AM »
 I just copied the text from and email I just got...



Call Your Senators Now. Tell Them to Vote NO
on These Amendments 
 
NSSF has learned that anti-gun U.S. Senators are expected to bring up a vote at ANY MINUTE this afternoon on the previously defeated Manchin-Toomey "universal background check" amendment as well as an amendment expanding the prohibited persons list to anyone unknowingly placed on a secret, error-prone government list, the so called "terrorist watch list."
 
Call your senators at 202-224-3121 as soon as you can and urge them to vote NO on both amendments.

No one is coming, it’s up to us.

Legislation should never be about depriving law abiding citizens of something, but rather taking those things away from criminals.

True, they'll most likely toe the line and support, but at least I get to flog them with it come election time for all the good that it will do.

I wonder if it is related to this: http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/senate/262030-senate-blocks-tying-gun-fight-to-obamacare-repeal

Couldn't get their rule tied into another so now they are trying to push it through normally.

The Senate on Thursday voted down two gun control proposals put forward by Democrats in response to this week’s
deadly shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., in a series of votes that highlighted the intractable party divide over how to
respond to gun violence.

    The Senate rejected a measure from Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) to expand background checks for guns purchased
online and at gun shows on a 48 to 50 vote and an amendment from Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) to prevent individuals
on the terror watch list from purchasing firearms on a 45 to 54 vote. The amendments were offered  to an Obamacare
repeal package currently being debated in the Senate and they needed 60 votes to be adopted.
