ALERT: U.S. Senate to consider nine amendments to the Reid gun-control bill!
Take Action and Blast Faxes demanding that Congress opposes ALL FORMS of gun-control: as legislation or as amendments to legislation!

Conservative American,

The gun-grabbers are losing.

Of the nine amendments to S. 649 we told you about yesterday, seven came to a vote and each one was rejected.

While on the surface some of the amendments seemed benign – consider the Cornyn and Burr amendments – the fact that all failed is exactly what we wanted; our original goal remains unchanged: lawmakers must kill the entire bill, not pass a "nice" version.

It is true that the bill's worst amendments are dead: the Toomey-Manchin Amendment #715 (background checks) failed 54-46; the Leahy Amendment #713 (trafficking) failed 58-42; the Feinstein Amendment #711 (assault weapons ban) failed narrowly 40-60; and the Lautenberg Amendment #714 (high capacity clips) failed 46-54.

While we celebrate yesterday's victory, the battle is not yet over. When the Senate adjourns at 9:30 this morning two additional amendments will take a vote and Senators must know that we are still watching their every move.

The amendments up for grabs today will be the Barrasso Amendment and the Harkin-Alexander amendment; the latter dealing with mental-health checks. Both of which must receive the same treatment as the first seven: defeat.

The Feinstein Ban yesterday was broken by a single vote. This just goes to show how close this battle is, and how hard we have to press. The good news is, though, is that our efforts are working and causing the political animals in Washington to move our direction!

We must continue to press our elected servants to defend our Second Amendment at all costs!

It is of the utmost importance that we continue to mobilize against all gun-control, as its proponents have by no means given up.

Majority Leader Harry Reid said yesterday that "this issue is not going away ... we are not giving up," suggesting that he and his fellow gun-grabbers will keep pushing to ram through their Big Government agenda, despite yesterday's votes.

Sen. Manchin of West Virginia – co-author of the mandate for universal background checks – echoed Harry Reid when he said yesterday that "this is not over."

Harry Reid said last week – before this bill or any of its amendments even hit the floor – that, should the gun-grabbers efforts fail as S. 649, he will offer every single one of its provisions as independent bills!

We have every reason to believe that the anti-gunners will continue to fight for their bad "gun safety measures" in spite of their recent clear defeat.

We must continue to demand lawmakers to stand against gun-control by taking action and blasting faxes, sending letters, and making phone calls!

After months of talk, the Senate is now actually deciding what will or will not be included in Harry Reid's "Safe Communities, Safe Schools Act" and it is our job to make sure that we are doing all that we can to send this bill down in flames.

Obama and the gun-grabbers know exactly what they want and are willing to go to any length to get it. In order to win, we must be even more tenacious in our defense of the Second Amendment!

Will you make your voice heard? Take action ....
