These are not Icebergs.
This is a scarlet red serpentine snake with steel bayonets for fangs marching onto Lexington Green.
The only thing standing between them and Second Amendment is the American People. There is no question
that a full out assault on our Second Amendment Rights is underway.
Just as General Gage sent LT Col. Smith to disarm the colonists by seizing their powder and ball.
So have the regular crowd of Second Amendment Infringers, begun their attempt by introducing new laws.
Time to practice the Civic Participation we encourage.
Here are the new firearms related laws titles and summaries that have been proposed in the House of Representatives for the 113 Congress. The bills below have been introduced on the floor and forwarded to the Judiciary Committee for review. The bill's detailed text is being distributed and is not available yet. But just by reading the bills titles and knowing the history of the sponsors you can certainly extrapolate that it will not be favorable to the Second Amendment.
Time to contact your Congress Critters and share your views.
