Attacks on Gun Shows Expected Soon

The gun control lobby that calls itself "Americans for Gun Safety" (AGS)
is poised to move forward with its campaign of exploiting the terrorist
attacks of September 11 in order to further its anti-Second Amendment
agenda.
AGS has shamelessly attempted to deceive the American public
into believing that terrorists - who are aided by renegade countries that
support their murderous agenda with military arms and training, as well
as millions of dollars - are shopping at your local gun shows right
alongside law-abiding hunters, collectors, and those interested in
personal protection.
U.S. Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) - the foremost
spokesman for AGS in the U.S. Senate - has teamed up with anti-gun
U.S.
Senators Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.), and Chuck
Schumer (D-N.Y.), and we expect them to try to force a vote in the
Senate on their anti-gun show bill, S. 890, some time between now and
Independence Day. S. 890 is designed to run gun shows out of business
through a variety of registration and licensing schemes - and is clearly
the first step towards the true goal of banning all legal private sales,
including those between friends and family.
It is critical that you contact your U.S. Senators today and urge them
to oppose S. 890 when it is brought up for consideration. You can reach
your U.S. Senators by calling the U.S. Senate switchboard at (202)
224-3121. Just ask for your Senators' offices, or give the operator
your state. For additional contact information, use the "Write Your
Reps" tool at
www.NRAILA.org.
