Hey if you are NOT a member of the NRA here is as compelling a case as any to make sure that you are!! HCI is running scared and trying to make the public at large believe their hype. Her is a release that I downloaded off of their websight..... For Immediate Release 9/8/99 SENSIBLE SENATE GUN CONTROL MEASURES COULD BE KILLED BY LATEST NRA ATTACK ON THE FACTS. DON'T LET IT HAPPEN! CALL CONGRESS TODAY!!! With Up to 90% of Americans Supporting Tougher Gun Controls, Latest NRA Mobilization Message Urges Grassroots “Uprising” The headlines above -- and the headlines of too many newspapers across the country -- say it all. Despite shooting after shooting after shooting -- funeral after funeral -- Congress WILL fail to send the President the common-sense gun control measures adopted by the Senate this Spring IF the NRA leadership’s latest fear-mongering campaign goes unanswered. Unless YOU get involved, it simply won’t matter that huge majorities of Americans support the Senate’s reasonable proposals: requiring background checks for all gun show purchasers, insisting that new handguns be sold with trigger locks or other safety devices, and stopping the importation of high-capacity ammunition clips once and for all. Unless YOU make sure that your Representative and Senators get two calls from supporters of the Senate’s sensible new laws for every one by an NRA member frightened by the lies told by his leadership, Americans who might have escaped being on the wrong end of a gun will continue to die. Unless YOU and a friend make those calls now, it may well be too late to keep the Senate’s modest measures from being jettisoned by a House/Senate Conference Committee whose members decide . . . again . . . that the NRA is just too tough to cross. PLEASE, call, fax or write your Representative a note now with a simple two-part message: “I want you to support the Senate’s sensible gun control provisions - especially their gun show background check-- AND I’ll be basing my vote in November of 2000 on what you do.” That’s all there is to it. So, please, make the contact, make the case and make it soon. The NRA has already spent $1.5 million this Spring and Summer and just announced that it will spend at least $1.5 million more to preserve no-questions-asked gun sales at gun shows. There’s only one thing more powerful than their money and their propaganda. . . . YOU. Contact Your Representative Today Contact your representative alright...Tell them you are PRO-GUN and Vote your conscience!! Can you believe this?? Join the NRA and lets put HCI Out of business....
