Please note: Even if you do not live in Tennessee, Sen. Frist will probably appreciate your opinion since he is looking to represent you in the future as the next President of the United States. ----- Pre-written letter ----- Dear Senator Frist: Gun Owners of America informs me that Senator Dianne Feinstein and her cohorts are looking to offer gun control amendments to the gun makers' protection act, S. 397. I want you to know that the minimal gains this legislation will give us should NOT be accepted in exchange for Feinstein-style gun control. You should also know that I am very wary of promises that the offending gun control language will be taken out of the bill in a conference committee. Those are the same kinds of failed promises that I have heard in years past when we got stuck with the Clinton-Feinstein semi-auto ban in 1994 and the McCain-Feingold free speech restrictions in 2002. Instead, I would encourage you to use the SAME SUCCESSFUL STRATEGY that you used last year to keep gun control off of the class action lawsuit bill. I would urge you to use any and all parliamentary tools at your disposal to prevent this amendment from being offered to the gun makers' protection act. Gun Owners of America has listed how this can be done, step by step, at http://www.gunowners.org/a030204a.htm on its website. Thank you. Sincerely, Poster Comment: As far as I know Frist has kept the bill clean of anti-gun amendments and that Bush wants it that way and will sign it if passed. This issue is one of the rare times that pressure from patriots actually can affect the politicians. Aside from Frist the local congressperson and Senators would need to hear from patriots also. In some areas that may be a waste of time however. Post Comment   Private Reply   Ignore Thread   Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest #1. To: 1776 (#0) Who said this?
