From FOAC/ACSL

Please forward this as widely as possible.  Send it to friends, gun boards, websites and the membership of your gun club. 

 

Please attend the 8th annual 2nd Amendment Action Day in Harrisburg

 

 

 

Tuesday, April 23, 2013

 

10:00 AM to 3:00 PM        

 

For detailed information GO TO this location http://www.2arally.com/

 

 

 

(MEET: inside capital building at the marble stairs under the rotunda)

 

 

 

This is THE day when sportsmen and other gun owners will meet in Harrisburg while the legislature is in session to make a clear statement that we will not be ignored. 

 

 

 

Last year anti-freedom groups and activists such as billionaires Bloomberg and Soros inserted tens of millions of dollars into Pennsylvania elections.  They elected an anti-gun and anti-personal protection Attorney General who announced that she will be legislatively active.  They plan on using those techniques to take over the Pennsylvania legislature and governors office. 

 

If you allow the anti-freedom forces to succeed, they will quickly make Pennsylvania’s laws resemble those of New Jersey, New York, Maryland and other states that have gone over to the dark side. 

 

 

 

We don’t have their money to counter their slick TV commercials, but we do have large numbers of law abiding Pennsylvania gun owners who can determine the outcome of elections if and only if they are active. 

 

 

 

After meeting in the rotunda at 10:00 for speeches, we’ll break up into smaller groups, each with a team leader. We’ll show you proven techniques on how to effectively lobby legislators and persuade them with accurate facts and figures.   We need your help, to reinforce the understanding of our commitment to individual freedoms. You can make a personal difference by helping to get these proposed bills moving.

Fight HB 1010 – backdoor universal registration

Filed Under: Law/Poly Ticks by The Crimson Pirate — Leave a comment
March 21, 2013

Santarsiero has introduce a bill that would repeal 18 PACS 6111 (f)(2).  Currently in Pennsylvania private sales of handguns must go through an FFL, but not private sales of long guns.  Long guns are specifically exempted in 6111(f)(2). 

Repealing that section would require all private gun sales to go through an FFL.  This also means that the illegal PSP (nota)registry purchase database would then include long guns as well handguns.  It would be defacto registration.

Contact your legislators and let them know that this shit won’t fly.

MEMORANDUM

Posted: February 8, 2013 03:19 PM
From: Representative Steven Santarsiero
To: All House members
Subject: SANTARSIERO-Requiring Background Checks for All Firearms
In the near future, I plan to introduce legislation that will amend Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes by requiring background checks be conducted on all firearm purchasers. 
                                        
Currently, the Crimes Code requires firearm sales be conducted in front of a licensed importer, manufacturer, dealer, or county sheriff.  In addition, purchasers must adhere to a 48-hour waiting period that spans from the time of the application through the purchase and the delivery of a firearm; however, these provisions are only applicable to short-barreled firearms.  My legislation would remove this applicability provision and require all firearm sales, regardless of the barrel length, be conducted in front of a licensed importer, manufacturer, dealer, or county sheriff, in addition to requiring 48-hour waiting period before delivering the firearm.  Ultimately, this legislation would require background checks be conducted for each firearm purchase, which will ensure that individuals attempting to obtain a firearm are authorized to possess such weapons. 
 
Please join me in protecting the residents of this Commonwealth by closing the loopholes that have permitted unauthorized individuals access to firearms.

I’m blind copying this to a lot of people and lists
 
From Magpul’s Facebook yesterday morning about the Colorado anti gun bills
 
The Governor’s office is still tallying emails for and against the gun bills that have been passed, in order to inform Governor Hickenlooper of public opinion on whether they should be signed into law or not. Let him know that they should not!Use the contact form at

http://www.colorado.gov/govhdir/requests/opinion-leg.html to register your disagreement with HB1224 and the other gun bills. Please keep your message brief, polite, and to the point that you oppose HB1224 and all other anti-gun legislation, and urge the governor to VETO these bills.

 
If you’re thinking that this would be a waste of time for out of staters, stop. Any message sent simply adds to the flood of dissent felt by the governor and lets him know the rest of the US is watching.

It was pointed out to me that one link was bad and two vendors appear to be no longer in business.  At least their web sites no longer function.  i checked them out and that was correct.

So that’s fixed now.

 

Thanks to Bill for letting me know ;)

MAIG bullshit

Filed Under: Law/Poly Ticks by The Crimson Pirate — Leave a comment

Mayors Against Illegal Guns is tossing off a poll that supposdly shows 88% of PA voters support background checks.  It’s bullshit.

Reading the poll itself, they used leading questions and limited answers to skew the numbers the way they wanted.  They also polled more democrats than anything else.  Well, duh!  Ask a bunch of anti gun people leading questions with limited boxed in answers about gun control, what kind of results do you think you’re going to get?

Most of the people polled probably don’t have the first clue about how firearm transfers are handled now.  The probably don’t know the difference between an FFL transfer and a private transfer, or what an 03 FFL is.

But the most interesting part of the poll is the one they don’t mention in any of their press materials or lame stream snews stories; For 89% of the people polled gun control isn’t even on their radar. 

From the poll;

“Which of the following issues will be most important to your vote for Congress inthe next election [first and second choice selected]?

The economy 69%

The federal budget deficit 37%

Health Care 31%

Taxes 18%

Protecting our children from crime andviolence15%

Education 11%

Gun violence prevention 8%

Immigration issues 6%

Not sure 5%

Abortion 3%

Same sex marriage 3%

Fixing gun laws 3%”

11% ranked the two gun gun control options as most important.  that means that 89% didn’t.  The economy, budget deficit, health care, and taxes were the top 4.  Obama’s own constituency thinks that health care is still broken, and could care less about gun control.

Here is an example of how questions are skewed;

“General gun issue questions

5)
 
How important is it that President Obama and Congress support the rights of gunowners but also advocate for stronger gun laws to reduce gun violence?”
 
The question is set up so that you have to rate the importance of doing both of these two things.  If you think one is important and the other isn’t, you’re screwed.  If you think the two options are mutually exclusive, you’re screwed. 
 
You’re pushed into an answer that rates the importance of both together.  So if either one is important to you you have to give both a high importance. 
 
This is typical of the anti gun polls being published and tossed about in the lame stream media.  These polls are so rife with this kind of crap that they become jokes.  You cannot take any anti gun poll seriously as they are all manufactured in this manner.
