    URGENT ALERT!!!
    Anti-gun Zealots Trying To Ram Disarmament Bill Through Senate
    -- Immediate action required

    You'd think that when rabid, anti-gun legislators like Sen. Charles
    Schumer and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy join together to pass anti-gun
    legislation, it would raise a few red flags.

    But these two New York Democrats are currently planning to roll over
    gun owners with H.R. 2640 -- legislation which would bar you from
    owning guns if:

    * You are a battle-scarred veteran suffering from Post Traumatic
    Stress Disorder; or

    * As a kid, you were diagnosed with ADHD.

    Not to mention the fact that your ailing grandfather could have his
    entire gun collection seized, based only on a diagnosis of
    Alzheimer's (and there goes the family inheritance).

    Gun owners have been desperately fighting this bill for several
    months. You will remember that it passed in the House with an
    unrecorded voice vote in June and was later passed out of the Senate
    Judiciary Committee -- also without a recorded vote.

    Sen. Schumer is pushing hard to pass this legislation -- dubbed the
    Veterans Disarmament Act -- so he is circulating an
    "agreement" which
    would waive the Senate rules in order to bring up and pass the bill.

    This agreement could come about in the next few hours or the next
    couple of days!

    This agreement is extremely diabolical, as it would eliminate the
    ability of pro-gun senators to offer amendments which would clean up
    the legislation... and would grease the skids for immediate passage!

    But there is good news: In order for Schumer's "agreement" to
    prevail, he must get "unanimous consent." This means that just ONE
    single senator can block it.

    ACTION: Please contact your two U.S. Senators RIGHT AWAY and urge
    them to OBJECT to Senator Chuck Schumer's "unanimous consent
    agreement" to steamroll H.R. 2640, the McCarthy anti-gun bill.

    You can use the pre-written message below and send it as an e-mail by
    visiting the GOA Legislative Action Center at
    http://www.gunowners.org/activism.htm (where phone and fax numbers
    are also available).

    Pre-written letter

    Dear Senator:

    Currently, anti-gun zealot Chuck Schumer is trying to get "unanimous
    consent" to steamroll the Senate in connection with Carolyn
    McCarthy's anti-gun bill, H.R. 2640.

    If this bill is passed, an American would be barred from owning guns
    if:

    * He is a U.S. veteran suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder;
    or

    * As a kid, he was diagnosed with ADHD in connection with the IDEA
    program.

    Not to mention the fact that an ailing grandfather could have his
    entire gun collection seized, based only on a diagnosis of
    Alzheimer's from a Medicare home health provider (and there goes the
    family inheritance).

    Gun owners don't support this legislation, better known as the
    Veterans Disarmament Act. The Military Order of the Purple Heart is
    opposed to it, having stated on June 18 of this year, that "For the
    first time the legislation, if enacted, would statutorily impose a
    lifetime gun ban on battle-scarred veterans."

    Please place a hold on the McCarthy bill and object to any unanimous
    consent agreement to discharge the bill.

    Sincerely,

    Letters written and as good as in the mail.

    BTW, I added this:

    "In closing, I would like to emphasize my opposition to this proposed law and all other forms of patently unconstitutional abridgements of the peoples' right to keep and bear arms."

    Let them know that you're not just opposed to this bill, but to all forms of gun control.
