No Guns for Veterans

12/03/2013
Dear Larry,
Obama and his allies are coming after the gun rights of 
America's veterans.  If they succeed in disarming vets 
across this country, we will no longer be a free people 
and will be much less safe as a nation, from threats both 
foreign and domestic!  Let me explain why.
A handful of RINOs have decided to join Obama and 
they have been very, very quietly trying to sneak a gun-
grabbing bill through the House.
In fact, these liberal Republicans have resurrected the 
bill that you defeated in the Senate back in April, but this 
time they've expanded it to take away the Second 
Amendment rights of veterans!
This is Imam Obama's latest attack on our military. This 
man plans to render the US defenseless by continually 
castigating our Christians and stigmatizing our soldiers 
(both active duty and retired).
How are we going to get our young men and women to 
join the armed forces if they know that they will be forever 
labeled as dangerous terrorists and criminals by the 
government?  The answer is, we will not.
The bill is HR 1565, sponsored by Rep. Pete King (R-NY), and it is falsely labeled the "Public Safety and Second Amendment Rights Protection Act of 2013."
Obama's Department of Homeland Security already labels veterans as terrorists, but this bill goes further than name-calling.  If it passes, ANY veteran who identifies as a conservative can have his or her gun rights stripped away in the blink of an eye.

Both Obama and Joe Biden have repeatedly said this year 
that they plan to, "Get the job done" when it comes to 
passing a gun-grabbing bill.
Rep. Pete King and his RINO allies have already gathered 
185 co-sponsors for this bill. They're just 33 votes shy of 
a majority to pass it - and they say they want to pass it this year!
Here's what HR 1565 will do to the gun rights of veterans 
if they succeed in passing it.
Obama's Secretary of Veterans' Affairs, Eric Shinseki, 
will have the power to label any conservative veteran 
as "mentally incompetent" and take away their guns. 
Remember, Shinseki is no friend of conservatives. He has 
fought tooth and nail to pay spousal benefits to the unmarried homosexual partners of military members.  He wouldn't lose 
any sleep at night by labeling Christian vets as "mentally 
 incompetent."  And once a veteran goes on Obama's list, 
they are banned from ever purchasing a firearm for personal 
defense - an act which has God's blessing (see Exodus 22:2).
It gets even worse than that!
The Department of Veterans' Affairs will be required to set up 
a publicly-accessible website which lists the names of all of 
these "mentally incompetent" veterans.
No veteran will be able to get a job once they are falsely 
labeled as mentally incompetent and placed on Obama's 
"don't sell them guns" list!
Folks, the fact is, there has only been ONE mass shooting in 
America in the last 45 years that involved a non-Muslim veteran 
- and that conveniently happened right when Obama was running 
for re-election.
Our veterans are not a threat!
These politicians are smearing our vets as a threat to public 
safety and trying to take their guns away based on ONE incident.
They want us to ignore the thousands of incidents where armed 
veterans saved lives here in America. For example, a veteran 
stopped an in-progress mass shooting in 1996 in Pearl, 
Mississippi.  Another vet stopped an armed robbery in 
Missouri two months ago by shoving his PPX 9 pistol in the 
robber's mouth (Go vets!).
Incidents like these happen all the time in America, but they are smearing our vets and pretending they're a threat. If they disarm our vets, they will be able to disarm everyone else!
Not only that, but this bill will still require the creation of a federal registry of all gun owners, just like the Senate bill that we defeated a few months ago.
We have to stop them!
Please send your FaxGrams to the House Veterans' Affairs Committee to defeat HR 1565!

Our veterans have fought to preserve the Second Amendment and now the government is trying to take that right away from them.  Veterans are often the first line of defense against criminals in our cities and it has always been this way (See Nehemiah 4:13-14).
And then, please tell others about this awful bill to take away the Second Amendment rights of our veterans. Just send them this link:
Finally, please call your Representative directly at 202-224-3121 and tell him or her to vote NO on HR 1565.
