Patriot,

Less than a month ago, in an organized surprise attack, Hamas
militants stormed into Israel, where they brutalized, murdered,
and kidnapped innocent civilians, some at a music festival,
others in their homes.

Almost every one of their victims was defenseless, because unlike
the United States, Israel has no Second Amendment.

Israeli citizens had no way to protect themselves, their
families, or their homes from brutal attacks.

Despite being under constant threat of foreign hostilities,
Israel - like almost every other country in the world - kept its
civilian population disarmed and helpless to the threat of armed
assailants.

Whether against common criminals or foreign invaders, the Second
Amendment enshrines your fundamental right to defend yourself and
your family.

America's founders recognized this. That's why they even
clarified that "a well-regulated militia, being necessary to the
security of a free State" meant its purpose was for the people to
keep and bear weapons suitable for going to war, not just for
shooting varmints in the backyard.

What happened in Israel on October 7 should have settled the gun
control debate once and for all. Israel itself has lifted
prohibitions on private gun ownership, which has left the Biden
administration hopping mad.

In fact, the would-be tyrants in Washington are demanding Israel
stop arming its citizens, and they are scheming to take away your
right to self-defense, too.

U.S. Sen. Angus King (I-ME) announced his plan to introduce a de
facto "assault weapons ban" to outlaw the very firearms most
Americans choose for their own protection.

This is intolerable. You and I need to STOP this gun grab before
it starts. Contact your lawmakers RIGHT NOW and DEMAND they
oppose Angus King's gun grab and ANY assault on the Second
Amendment!

As current events prove, even in the face of an immediate foreign
threat, tyrants are more afraid of an armed citizenry than they
want to prevent atrocities.

In fact, they have a perverse incentive to want atrocities. They
capitalize on every crisis as an excuse for more tyranny.

It's incredible, if you really think about it:

Every time a bad guy with a gun kills defenseless people, the
first thing the government wants to do is deprive the good guys
of self-defense.

This means YOU!

It's you they want kept defenseless, dependent on the government
for protection - despite the fact that when seconds count, you
don't have minutes or hours to wait for help.

Here's what's on the line:

*** The most popular rifles in America - BANNED. More than any
other type, law-abiding Americans choose the AR platform for its
simplicity, ease of use, reliability, and practicality in both
sporting and defensive applications. This is exactly the platform
anti-gun zealots target with these bans.

And if this bill resembles similar legislation introduced in
previous years, many other popular firearms may be swept into the
ban. Any semi-automatic shotgun that accepts a detachable
magazine, even those with a fixed magazine that can hold more
than 5 rounds, might be included.

*** The magazine in your handgun - BANNED. No police officer in
America uses a 10-round magazine in a handgun designed to hold
15.

The truth is it often takes multiple rounds to stop an attacker.
Which is why law enforcement officers almost universally use
magazines with capacities of 15 rounds or more. Gun owners should
be afforded the same resources as those officers.

*** Your name in what is effectively a federal registry, along
with every gun you own.

Imagine a father not being able to hand his family firearm down
to his son without getting a permission slip from the government.
So-called "universal background checks" make private firearm
sales between neighbors and close friends illegal unless a
federal background check is completed, forcing all gun owners to
be funneled through the unconstitutional NICS database, and
delaying the ability to exercise a constitutional right.

And of course, the NICS check often causes improper delays that
can take days and even mistakenly prohibit a law-abiding citizen
from lawfully acquiring a firearm.

Often, "background checks" can take up to 8 days to process. This
is a violation of the rights of people to purchase a gun and to
protect themselves, putting law-abiding citizens in danger when
they need to purchase a firearm quickly. A right delayed is a
right denied.

Patriot, I wish I could tell you this legislation is
"dead-on-arrival" in Congress . . . but it only takes a very
small number of weak-kneed Republicans to pass any anti-Second
Amendment legislation.

That's why it's critical you send your Second Amendment directive
to Washington right away!

In the Senate, Democrats (almost all of whom consistently support
unconstitutional gun control) have a majority and need only a few
turncoat Republicans to vote with them to overcome the
filibuster.

Remember, weak Republicans have betrayed our Second Amendment
rights very recently. Just last year, Minority Leader McConnell
(R-KY) gave his stamp of approval for Senator John Cornyn (R-TX)
to work with Democrats on a Red Flag Gun Confiscation bill that
ultimately passed because of support from Republicans.

And in the House, Republicans have a narrow majority. If just a
handful of Republicans join the Democrats in signing a discharge
petition, they can force a vote on the House floor.

Stop this gun grab before it starts: Take just 20 seconds to sign
your directive to Congress: Defend the Second Amendment and
oppose ALL gun control legislation! Refuse to deal away our
Second Amendment rights!

Remember, politicians in Washington are watching their mail. They
need to know how white-hot this issue is.

They act like they don't care how many letters and petitions you
send - because they want you to stop sending them.

In reality, angry voters are the one thing politicians worry
about. They want the tables turned . . . they want YOU to fear
THEM so you won't speak out and you won't fight for your liberty.


Because they fear you, they want your silence.

Don't give it to them. Send your directive to oppose Sen. King's
Gun Grab and any other gun control bills right now!

This is an important battle you and I cannot ignore. Chuck
Schumer (D-NY), Susan Collins (R-ME), Angus King (I-ME), and
other statists are taking all they can, when they can.

Unless you and I step up to stop them from infringing on our
rights, they will succeed.

But with your help and financial support, Campaign for Liberty
can be a huge part of the movement to stop their power grab.
