SEN Lee to offer amend to ban most senate gun control.

Senator Lee to Offer Amendment Tonight to Ban Most Gun Control in the Senate

We realize it’s short notice, but we wanted to alert you that, later tonight, Senator Mike Lee of Utah intends to offer an amendment to the budget resolution that would prohibit any gun control legislation which does not have a 2/3 vote in the Senate.

We know, we know. We would prefer to prohibit any and all gun control, even if it had 100 votes.

But if the Lee amendment is passed, the practical effect will be that gun control can never again pass the Senate.

Given the Armageddon-like fight which we are now engaged in in the Senate, achieving a gun-control peace for the rest of our lifetimes would be a good thing.

ACTION: Contact your Senators. Ask them to vote for the Lee amendment which would require a 2/3 vote for the Senate to impose any gun control.

You may Click here to use The Action Center, or you can call your Senators since time is short. The number for the Senate is 202-224-3121.

Sure wish I could help by contacting my senators, however; my senators are boxer and feinstein and everyone knows that they don't give a hill of beans about people liking guns.

No doubt the obummerbots here are crying, my goodness, if this bill passes, all their hard work at dividing gun owners here and promoting the abomination in the whitehouse to disarm the law abiding would have been in vain. POWDERMAN.  ::) ::)

My two Schumer and Gillabrant are both anti, but I send then all the mail and add a little dig on the bottom about how I know they don't want to represent the people of their state and remind them I vote.. Hope it really pisses them off.

I like the idea that all laws dealing with constitutional rights should require a 2/3 vote.

Didnt know this was here. Just posted in 2nd amendment forum that it failed 50 to 49. you can see how your guys voted . it did get majority but needed 60 votes.
