Here is another one. That Fucking Reid is a shitstorm waiting to happen. Fire off some emails to our illustrious jackassed liberal senators.
http://gunowners.org/a03252013b.htm Sen. Reid Beefs up "Base Bill" to Destroy Gun Ownership Monday, 25 March 2013 18:23 Written by Gun Owners of America We now know a lot more about what's going to happen with gun control legislation than we did a few days ago. First, the number of the bill we are fighting is S. 649. Harry Reid introduced it on Thursday and brought it directly onto the Senate calendar. This means the bill can now come up at any time — probably soon after the Easter recess is over. Second, the bill is a lot worse than even we anticipated. We expected it to contain the Veterans Gun Ban, which would mean that you would sell, gift, or raffle a gun in America at the risk of a 15-year prison sentence because of something you didn't know about the veteran/buyer. But, surprisingly to us, the Far Left has convinced Reid to include the original Schumer version of the Universal Registry Bill. This would ban private sales of firearms, unless purchasers first get the permission from the government. If Senators can pass this de facto registration bill, they will be well on the way to confiscation (see, for example, Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York, who has a gun owner registry and has called for gun confiscation). If this bill is passed, Senators will claim that they “broke the back” of gun owners in America. Third, there is still every evidence that Reid will move to proceed to the bill under "regular order," which means he will need 60 votes to advance to the "gun control buffet." GOA has been talking and making our case with a host of Senate Republicans, and we would hope that everyone in the Senate understands the importance of stopping the “motion to proceed” to Reid’s gun control legislation. Fourth, as we predicted, anti-gun zealots have begun to use the "ObamaCare Paradigm" to threaten, bribe, and coerce senators into submission on the most far-reaching aspects of gun control, including Feinstein's proposal to ban shotguns, rifles and handguns that millions of Americans legally own. So if the "motion to proceed" to S. 649 is adopted with 60 votes, then Feinstein's ban could be passed in the Senate with only 50 votes (plus Biden). Click here for a more technical explanation as to how this would occur. Already, articles are being published to intimidate any Democratic Senator who votes against any gun control and threatening them with the prospect of facing an anti-gun primary challenger — just like we saw on ObamaCare. Fifth, there may be unholy alliances at work which could succeed in achieving a dangerous gun control compromise. One Capitol Hill newspaper is now reporting that “Sen. Joe Manchin and the National Rifle Association are quietly engaged in private talks on a proposal to broaden background checks on purchasers of firearms.” We hope this is not true, however you should be aware of this report and use whatever contacts you have to prevent this from happening. Be assured, you can rely on Gun Owners of America to never engage in any compromises! ACTION: The strategy remains: We need to defeat this bill by filibustering and voting down the “motion to proceed” to S. 649. Please contact your senators and distribute this alert far and wide |

The new year is bringing a new assault on our rights, so I felt a resurrection of this thread was in order.

Okay, as a retired attorney I did a little research into this. What's currently at stake here is HB 44 which basically looks almost EXACTLY like what Colorado enacted last year outlawing private gun sales at gun shows "unless the transfer is conducted through the services of a federal firearms licensee." The FFL can charge a reasonable fee for this service and H44 goes on to spell out that the fee cannot be more than $25 which was one of the areas I found objectionable to this bill last year. You can read the full text of the bill here:
http://www.nmlegis.gov/Sessions/14%20Regular/bills/house/HB0044.pdf HB 44 has been referred to the standing committee on Rules and Order of Business. I have listed the members of this committee with their respective party affiliation and email address (except that of the chairman below). The act goes on to state: "Nothing in the Firearm Transfer Act shall be construed to require or authorize an agency, officer or agent of the state or a political subdivision of the state to compile or maintain a registry, roster, list or other compilation of firearms transfers or firearms owners from any record required to be created or kept by the Firearm Transfer Act. This section shall not prohibit disclosure or access to a firearms transfer record for a criminal investigation." While this is NICE, I think if this passes, it needs to be stronger. I would prefer that it state a prohibition against gun registration lists, not simply language that says it's not REQUIRED. Anyway, if you want to weigh in on this here are the committee members along with email addresses to write to: Nick L.
