McCain, Graham Support Gun Control

John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) are back at it again.

Last month, they called Rand Paul (R-KY) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) “ridiculous” and “wacko birds” for mounting a filibuster to stop the federal government from attacking Americans with drones without due process.

Now they’re criticizing Senate conservatives for working to defeat a sweeping gun control bill written by Harry Reid (D-NV) that creates a new gun tax and a federal gun list to track American gun owners.

McCain and Graham say they just want to debate the issue, but the only reason to bring a gun control bill to the Senate floor is to pass it. Once the bill gets over the initial 60-vote hurdle and Harry Reid starts buying senators off with various amendments, it will be almost impossible to stop.

A vote to bring Harry Reid’s gun control bill to the Senate the floor is a vote against the 2nd Amendment.

And a vote against the filibuster led by Rand Paul (R-KY), Mike Lee(R-UT), Ted Cruz (R-TX), and Marco Rubio (R-FL) is a betrayal of our principles.

SCF is doing everything it can to win this important battle. In fact, we launched a national radio and television campaign yesterday to collect 1 million petitions urging the Senate to defend the 2nd Amendment. Please call 1-800-605-1755 to add your name to the petition.

OBAMA GROUP TARGETS REPUBLICANS

Yesterday, the pro-Obama group Organizing for Action launched advertisements targeting Republican senators. The ads ask supporters to call the individual senators and express support for expanded gun control measures. We must fight back.

Please call these Republicans today to make sure they know you disagree with President Obama and want them to stand with Senators Paul, Lee, Cruz, and Rubio in fighting for the 2nd Amendment.
