Patriot,

The statists in Washington, D.C. do not want YOU - a peaceful,
law-abiding citizen - to own guns so you can defend yourself and
your family from the violent thugs egged on and nurtured by THEIR
policies and rhetoric. . .

THEY KNOW gun control laws only affect peaceful, law-abiding
citizens like you. . .

THEY KNOW criminals don't obey laws, and THEY KNOW if they
confiscate your guns, more victims will be created. . .

. . . by leaving you defenseless when the thugs they spawned come
for you.

Yet, as typically occurs after a horrific and senseless mass
shooting, the anti-gun lobby has kicked into high gear, eager to
capitalize on the tragedy in Uvalde, Texas to advance their
anti-Second Amendment agenda - despite zero connection between
the policies they are proposing and the circumstances of the
tragedy.

With a projected "Red Wave" coming this November, Democrats are
eager for something - anything - to change the subject from
Biden's endless blunders, failures, and disasters at home and
abroad.

They want you to forget that they were behind the efforts to
defund the police and open the border to allow uncontrolled
immigration. They instigated the early release of thousands of
violent convicts and celebrated the lawlessness during the 2020
riots - all of these things are the main drivers of gun violence
in America these past several years.

Also a huge contributor: a crumbling economy and psychologically
traumatic mass lockdowns that helped precipitate its crumbling
and gave rise to mental issues.

Gun violence is the product of statism, not freedom.

Nevertheless, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
says he is "hopeful that we [Senate Democrats and Republicans]
could come up with a bipartisan solution" - which could only mean
an attack on the Second Amendment.

The statists in Congress are in total opposition to protecting
your gun rights, and to varying degrees, support eliminating them
completely.

They want YOU defenseless while THEY are highly protected by
hired guns paid for with YOUR taxpayer dollars!

There is no "bipartisan solution" that does not involve an
assault on the Second Amendment.

We know from experience which anti-gun rights proposals are
likely to get traction, such as a database of gun owners and the
guns you own and a ban on full-capacity magazines.

To those we can also add raising the age for purchasing a
semi-automatic weapon to 21, which Democrats in the House are
proposing.

Joe Biden recently falsely claimed a 9mm bullet was "high
caliber," suggesting that a ban on all medium and large caliber
ammunition is being floated.

And most dangerous and most likely: a national "Red Flag Law"
that is gun confiscation without due process of law.

The targets of these laws are law-abiding gun owners, who are
typically the victims of false accusations by upset partners or
other personal enemies. Most "Red Flag" laws do not provide
penalties for false accusations, and the ones that do are
basically a slap on the wrist.

Based on a mere accusation, a law-abiding gun owner is subjected
to an "ex parte" hearing (a secret court proceeding in which the
gun owner is not allowed to offer any exonerating evidence and
isn't even informed of the hearing). Victims are almost always
deemed guilty.

These laws specifically target law-abiding citizens who have not
committed a crime; in other words, it's an unconstitutional
"pre-crime" program similar to what you'd expect to see in
Communist China (hence the term "Red Flag").

This is the "bipartisan solution" Mitch McConnell was hinting at.


Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) - leader of the
"Schumer-Toomey-Manchin" gun control scheme that ultimately
failed amid massive public opposition in 2013 - said talks this
time around "feel very different."

"I've never been in this frame of mind," Manchin said.

There's no doubt about it. In the wake of the recent shootings,
an all-out push for gun rights restrictions is coming fast. The
Senate is the chamber where we have the best chance to stop it -
but Republican leadership is already showing signs of weakness.

We've got to pull out all the stops.

Just on the Republican side, we have Mitch McConnell, Pat Toomey
(PA), Lisa Murkowski (AK), Susan Collins (ME), Lindsey Graham
(SC), Roy Blunt (MO), John Cornyn (TX), Thom Tillis (NC), Marco
Rubio (FL), Rick Scott (FL), and Mitt Romney (UT), all of whom
are weak on gun rights.

They all need to be reminded that their base demands they defend
the Bill of Rights.

It's unconscionable that Republicans are even entertaining the
notion of anti-gun legislation.

They should be demanding a full investigation to explain how the
perpetrator of the Uvalde shooting, Salvador Ramos, an
18-year-old from a broken family, scrounged up the money to buy
to two tricked-out rifles, over a thousand rounds of ammunition,
and body armor.

He also had a reputation for threatening to kidnap, rape, and
murder girls, and for murdering cats and displaying their
corpses.

Or why local police failed to even attempt to stop him during a
rampage that lasted over an hour, despite clear training and
directives to do so, before an off-duty Border Patrol agent
finally did what the police failed to.

If ever there was an incident that begged an investigation into
what policies failed to allow this killer to commit his murders,
it's this one.

And yet, the only legislation being pushed right now is to punish
you and restrict your ability to own a firearm to defend yourself
and your family - not for holding schools, law enforcement, or
anyone else accountable.

As the anti-gun lobby bitterly admits, pro-2nd Amendment patriots
have managed to fend off attacks on our gun rights over the past
20 years, and in many places, even partially restored our natural
right to self-defense.

That only happened because patriots like you spoke up. Now is the
time to speak out again.

"Never let a crisis go to waste," in the words of former Obama
presidential advisor and mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel.

But the statist politicians and their families won't pay the same
price as people like you and me.

Anyone needing proof of that need look no further than the gun
crimes of President Joe Biden's son, for which he has never been
charged.

Hunter Biden lied to the ATF about his serious drug addiction to
obtain a handgun in 2018.

He even admitted to it in text messages to a former celebrity
psychiatrist, which were found on the infamous "laptop from hell"
he abandoned at a Delaware computer repair shop.

He even admitted to "losing" the illegal gun.

"She [Hallie Biden, widow of his brother Beau, who Hunter had
since taken as a lover] stole the gun out of my trunk lock box
and threw it in a garbage can full to the top at Jansens [sic].
Then told me it was my problem to deal with.

Then when the police the FBI the secret service [sic] came on the
scene she said she took it from me because she was scared I would
harm myself due to my drug and alcohol problem and our volatile
relationship and that she was afraid for the kids.

In just that string of texts, the son of the president admitted
he illegally bought a gun, had it stolen out of fear he would
shoot children, and the police, FBI, and Secret Service all knew
about the entire incident.

And these monsters dare lecture us about responsible gun
ownership. It's obscene.

If you speak out now, we can defeat gun control in the Senate -
the latest, most desperate attempt by the Democrats to shift the
narrative.

Campaign for Liberty staff has been developing a plan and zeroing
in on key Senators who need the most attention right now.

But every U.S. Senator needs to hear from their constituents
right now so there is no doubt in their minds they will be held
accountable if they restrict YOUR rights because of the acts of a
deranged criminal.

Even if your U.S. Senators are Democrats, speaking out is
critical. They are desperate to keep their majority, and if
enough patriots speak out, they may back off. Every petition
contributes to their awareness of the political environment, and
this is how Second Amendment supporters stopped the big gun
rights grab of 2013.

And after you sign your petition, please make a generous
contribution to Campaign for Liberty.
