Patriot, As you may have heard, the U.S. Senate, followed in record time by the U.S. House, passed the “bipartisan” anti-gun bill, S. 2938, and it is now awaiting Joe Biden’s signature. The Senate rammed through S. 2938 with the same 15 Senate Republicans we warned this week were in favor of it. The statists used every dirty trick in the book to get the bill passed. If you were to look up this bill, you'll find it is "A bill to designate the United States Courthouse and Federal Building located at 111 North Adams Street in Tallahassee, Florida, as the 'Joseph Woodrow Hatchett United States Courthouse and Federal Building', and for other purposes." They chose a bill that had absolutely nothing to do with guns to be the “carrier” of the anti-gun rights provisions to conceal it from the public and skip the committee hearings bills are supposed to require. This is a $15 billion bill, drawn up in the backroom with a handful of senators and anti-liberty lobbyists "negotiating" the terms. No public hearings. No discussion. No real debate. Even in “The People’s House,” there was a grand total of one hour of “debate.” There isn't much of a whimper about the cost, even when our national debt is skyrocketing. To the D.C. fat cats, $15 billion is just a drop in the bucket. As we predicted, the bill’s most notorious provision is bribing states to implement “Red Flag” legislation, which would allow left-wing lunatics to accuse patriots like you of being “dangerous” and have your firearms seized without any due process of law. . . The backers of this gun grab claim the bill requires due process. They lie. Make no mistake: It’s not just a war on the Second Amendment. It’s a war on you. The 15 Senate Republicans who voted for the gun-grabbing bill: -Retiring RINOs: Roy Blunt (MO), Richard Burr (NC), Pat Toomey (PA), and Rob Portman (OH) -Republicans who won’t face voters again until 2026: Mitch McConnell (KY), Shelley Moore Capito (WV), Bill Cassidy (LA), Susan Collins (ME), John Cornyn (TX), Joni Ernst (IA), Lindsey Graham (SC), and Thom Tillis (NC) -One Republican who was just nominated for another term and didn’t have a primary challenger: Todd Young (IN) -Lisa Murkowski (AK), who faces a spirited opponent endorsed by Donald Trump, and Mitt Romney, who is up for re-election in 2024 Notice how so few of the senators who voted “Yes” have an election with a potential challenger in the near future? That’s no coincidence. . . and it should tell you about the rest of the Republican caucus. And as for those who betrayed their oath to defend the Constitution . . . they may think their constituents will forget, but we have a long memory. In the House, 14 Republicans voted for S. 2938: Steve Chabot (OH-1) Liz Cheney (WY) Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-1) Tony Gonzales (TX-23) Anthony Gonzalez (OH-16) Chris Jacobs (NY-27) Dave Joyce (OH-14) John Katko (NY-24) Adam Kinzinger (IL-16) Peter Meijer (MI-3) Tom Rice (SC-7) Maria Salazar (FL-27) Michael Turner (OH-10) Fred Upton (MI-6) We hope you too will remind your fellow citizens of this day, and never let these legislators live it down while they’re in office. Now, more than ever, we need to speak up and defend the Constitution. And be sure to forward this email to your fellow patriots, so that they too will stand up against the tyranny.
