Mag ban stuffed in FAA bill

From Dudley:

I've just received word from inside sources in the U.S. Senate.

Senate Democrats are planning to execute a sneak attack on gun rights as soon as TODAY!

Their plan is to sneak Carolyn McCarthy's Magazine Ban into law as an amendment to the Federal Aviation Administration Bill, a routine piece of generally non-controversial legislation.

And they hope YOU won't notice.

That's why you and I need to make our voices heard RIGHT NOW!

We need to let them know we're watching them like a hawk!

Please call Sen. Mark Udall at (202) 224-5941 and Sen. Michael Bennet at (202) 224-5852.

Make sure they know about this scheme and that they must oppose Carolyn McCarthy's Magazine Ban every step of the way whether it's attached as an amendment or not.

And make sure they know you're watching.

Thanks for taking action,

Dudley Brown

called today

Does anyone have details on this? Like what the bill says, etc?

been looking for confirmation and more info

most I got so far is this

http://www.govexec.com/story_page.cf...ref=todaysnews

plenty of links with basically the exact same text as the RMGO letter, but nothing with confirmation in it yet .

Called both.
FWIW- Udalls staffer was very courteous and noted my statement word for word and he stated that there has been quite a bit of opposition to this.
"Dude Bennett" must be out snowboarding or something-I had to leave a message.

Called and will call again. Is there anywhere else that we can contact to flag this and let others know? Yet another awesome underhanded closed door piece of legislation from the Obama administration. This has to stop. I find myself reading all kinds of political articles and hunting for the next way that the government is going to take my freedoms. That is not what the internet is for, I should be reading about guns and looking a women. I guess they will either take my freedoms or my free time.

So the only additional info I got after I asked about it on their Facebook page is:

They plan to add it on the floor before the vote. Let them know before it's added that we oppose this action against our rights!

so I either have to have no hi cap mags, the FAA working, and no Obama care ....

or keep my mag's and Obama care??


ARGH!!!!

LOL

Maybe they knew they were screwed on the Obamacare bill because they know they don't have the votes, so they said "sure, um, attach the gun thing to that..."

I looked through the amendments of this bill on Thomas.net and found no indicators of anything by McCarthy or HR308. There are a few in there as far as repealing Oblammy care, but saw nothing firearm related.
Can they "sneak" anything in at last minute? One would think that any proposed amendment would at least have to be brought up for discussion before it can be added/voted upon.

i need the FAA to keep working

I bet they are going to stick the repeal on every bill... squeaky wheel style. They stuck it on the FAA bill (S.223) as amendment S Amdt.13. The main repeal bill is S.192.

There is presently nothing on the FAA Bill S.223 that has anything to do with high cap mags that I can find. They may add another amendment but it would have to be on the record. It's not like they can get away with not telling anyone about it, it has to be in writing which we can all read if you go to senate.gov and open S.223.

I wish RMGO wouldn't be so cryptic. I always have to research what they say because they don't give any actual verifiable facts. Put real information in the email! What's the bill name and number? Who told you this information? Is the so-called McCarthy Magazine Ban as they called it an actual amendment or just hearsay at this point? Real information like this would help us and make us look much more involved/educated when we contact our senators than if we just call and say "Hey, someone said McCarthy is going to ban magazines in the FAA bill. Don't support it!" Our representatives are much more likely to listen to us if it sounds like we know what we're talking about instead of sounding like we are just sheep believing anything that comes to our email inbox...

I appreciate RMGO keeping track of what's going on, but please, give us real information to work with so we don't sound dumb when we contact our representatives.

I thought that as well today. One of the first things I looked for when I heard about this today was information on the NRAs site about it. Say what you will about the NRA, but they do a lot for gun rights, and it would have been all over their site, emails sent, etc

I really do not like that amendments can be added to bills that have nothing to do with the original bill.
