I can’t comprehend what the anti-gun statists in BOTH parties don’t understand about the words you and I can plainly read in the Second Amendment’s clear and concise language.
But I’m afraid the situation is growing more and more serious following the tragic murders in Texas and Ohio over the weekend.
In fact, President Trump declared in his press conference:
“I have called for Red Flag laws . . . strong background checks.”
He showed he’s ready to make a gun control deal with Congressional Democrats, including on so-called “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation Orders, which would seize law-abiding Americans’ firearms with ZERO DUE PROCESS.
And if emerging news reports are to be believed, the President is looking to Attorney General William Barr -- who outright admitted his support for gun confiscation and gun registration to Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) during his confirmation hearings -- for counsel on extra-constitutional means to carve away our gun rights via executive order.
President Trump is either taking bad advice from the Washington, D.C. “Swamp,” or he’s backtracking on the pro-gun promises he made early in his first term.
Either way, it’s absolutely critical you act at once.
So please sign your NO DEALS! NO GUN CONTROL! petition IMMEDIATELY!
Of course, usual suspects like Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) snapped into action before all the facts came in, announcing almost immediately that he’d “struck a deal” with Senate Democrats on “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation.
And Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has tapped Sen. Graham -- along with establishment politicians Senators Lamar Alexander (R-TN) and Roger Wicker (R-MS) -- to “engage in bipartisan discussions of potential solutions to help protect our communities.”
You and I both know what that means -- the fight over our Second Amendment freedoms is well underway and EVERYTHING is on the table, including proposals like:
*** Feinstein’s so-called “Assault Weapons” Ban, which would outlaw specific rifles, shotguns, and handguns -- including ones popular with hunters and sportsmen -- based arbitrarily on nothing more than certain “scary” cosmetic features;
*** Emergency “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation Orders, allowing friends or family members to have your guns taken away based on mere accusations without due process or trial;
*** Toomey-Manchin’s so-called “Universal Background Checks,” designed to sound benign, this bill would create a nationwide gun registry, which as we know, registration is the first step toward outright confiscation;
*** Raising the minimum age to buy or possess a rifle, denying young adults their Second Amendment rights at home while the government continues to hand them more powerful weapons and ship them off overseas on America’s grand military adventures.
With the horse trading likely well underway, I’m afraid you and I may not have much time before a bill could up for a vote when Congress returns, so your IMMEDIATE action is crucial to stopping this onslaught of gun control schemes.
The good news is, the president has demonstrated in the past that he’ll thumb his nose at the media elites and is willing to listen to grassroots Americans like you.
So won’t you please sign your NO DEALS! NO GUN CONTROL! petition to President Trump and your Members of Congress right away?
As you’ll see, this petition demands they oppose ANY and ALL gun control legislation and refuse to deal away our Second Amendment rights!
Sadly, out of everything being discussed, one thing is clearly missing from the politicians’ proposals: pro-gun reforms that could actually prevent another El Paso or Dayton, such as repeal of so-called “Gun-Free” zones.
You see, all of these gun control proposals aren’t really about preventing another murder spree by some madman.
It’s about the gun-grabbers not letting a crisis go to waste.
It’s about control.
They’ve been coming after your guns for decades and they’re going to make the most of this one using emotion to trump objectivity.
And with the anti-gun statists shouting in the President’s ear, the national media giving them cover, and BILLIONAIRE Michael Bloomberg dispersing cash by the truckload to the Gun Control Lobby’s behemoth network of deep-pocketed organizations, I need you to act immediately.
That’s why I need all hands on deck for Campaign for Liberty’s effort to defend the Second Amendment and stop the Gun Control freight train that’s bearing down on us.
Won’t you please sign your NO DEALS! NO GUN CONTROL! petition and make a generous contribution to Campaign for Liberty right away?
We must make it clear to your elected officials there is no room for negotiation when it comes to our Second Amendment rights.
As I said at the beginning of this letter, the words of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution are clear:
". . . the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
There are no asterisks and no footnotes. There are no sentences that follow starting with the words "unless" or "however." The right to defend your life and property shall not be infringed by the government.
Period.
Weak-kneed Republicans are being browbeaten by the anti-gun media and the deep-pocketed Gun Control Lobby to cave to their demands.
But as I mentioned earlier, the good news is, the President has demonstrated he’ll ignore the media elites and is willing to listen to grassroots Americans like you.
In order to ensure we cut through the noise and our message is heard LOUD and CLEAR, Campaign for Liberty will need all the resources we can to pull out all the stops with a massive grassroots mobilization plan.
The Second Amendment is under assault like never before in recent history.
Unlike when Barack Obama was in office, many Republicans won’t instinctively oppose these gun control measures since “their” guys are the ones floating them.
And with anti-gun statists shouting in the President’s ear, I’m afraid President Trump could fall into their trap if liberty-loving citizens fail to counter the gun-grabbers’ advance.
The sad truth is that in the lead up to his unilateral ban on bump stocks -- through executive order -- President Trump threw around statements like, “Take the guns first, go through due process second,” and barely registered a blip on the radar.
And with President Trump floating ideas like that, which make Senator Dianne Feinstein giddy, I’m afraid many weak-kneed Republicans could sell-out America’s law-abiding gun owners and place massive new restrictions on our Second Amendment rights.
You and I must do everything we can to ensure we defend the Second Amendment.
So please sign your NO DEALS! NO GUN CONTROL! petition right away.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
Chairman
