A crucially important vote is taking place in the United States Senate today.
At stake is the further subversion of our Second Amendment rights… a dramatic expansion of federal control and power… wholesale invasion of citizens’ privacy… and yet another denigration of law-abiding citizens, all done in the name of adding more “gun control”!
Harry Reid’s gun control bill is a totally unnecessary expansion of federal power and will do absolutely nothing to keep criminals from obtaining guns!
This bill must be stopped dead in its tracks today!
This morning, we are delivering the “Stand Your Ground on the Second Amendment” petitions to Senate leaders ahead of the Senate debate and vote.
But we need to do more.
Patricia, I am calling you and on every friend of Liberty Counsel Action to take immediate action.
Please take a moment right now and fax your two Florida senators and your representative today and tell them to protect our Second Amendment rights!
Everything you need to fax them – and the entire U.S. Senate if you wish – is just one click away:
If you need more information on this vital issue, which will dramatically affect every American’s rights, even if you don’t own a gun, please see my message below from last evening.
God bless you for standing with us!

There is outright tumult today on Capitol Hill with all of the drama, political posturing, and behind-the-scenes deal-making that you would ever hope to find in a Tom Clancy novel.
But this drama is real, and it is dangerous!
At stake is the further subversion of our Second Amendment rights; a dramatic expansion of federal control and power; wholesale invasion of citizens’ privacy; and yet another denigration of law-abiding citizens – all done in the name of adding more “gun control” in our culture!
Here’s our take: This is an unnecessary expansion of federal power and will not do a single thing to keep criminals from obtaining guns! I am calling on every friend of Liberty Counsel Action to take immediate citizen action by faxing your two senators and your representative today and tell them to protect our Second Amendment rights! Everything you need is just one click away:
Please see my urgent message below – Mat.
The scene in Congress today is all too reminiscent of the passage of ObamaCare under Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Backroom deals, deception, manipulation of facts; name calling; political posturing – all to help President Barrack Obama add another piece of “signature legislation” to his presidential legacy.
Here is how the drama is unfolding:
Senator Reid has planned the first “cloture” vote on the proposed gun control legislation for tomorrow.
A dozen or more Senate Republicans are threatening to filibuster the “gun control” vote.
Senator Reid says he has enough votes to invoke “cloture” and override a filibuster.
Two leading senators, Joe Manchin and Pat Toomey announced today that they’ve reached a bipartisan “compromise” on the background check legislation, which is a key part of the bill being hotly debated in the Senate. The fate of that compromise has yet to be determined.
But there’s a major problem. We don’t need ANOTHER background check law! On the books right now is a federal law created under the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act.
Under the Brady law, the National Instant Criminal Background Check System mandates that licensed gun sellers check with the FBI database before making a sale.
++This unnecessary law is the proverbial camel’s nose in the tent for outright federal control of gun ownership in America!
These proposed “expanded” background checks place the government squarely in the middle of EVERY gun purchase, including private transactions. You can’t even hand your firearm to a friend at a shooting range without breaking the law!
Under Harry Reid’s proposed new system, private sellers and buyers would be required to meet in person with a licensed dealer. There, the dealer would check the buyer against the federal database.
As with dealer purchases, a record of the sale would be retained by the licensed dealer and the dealer would charge a fee for the recording service.
Many opponents of the bill believe it will ultimately result in the universal registration of all firearms and gun owners. At a minimum, it will lead to expanded monitoring by the ATF which will place citizens at an increased risk of searches and seizures.
The fact is, your Second Amendment rights are squarely in the crosshairs of gun-grabbing liberal lawmakers!
Liberty Counsel Action is taking action! Early Thursday morning, we are delivering the “Stand Your Ground on the Second Amendment” petitions to Senate leaders ahead of the final Senate debate and vote.
Coupled with that initiative, Patricia, today, I am calling on you to consider engaging our fax barrage system to fax your two Florida senators and representatives.
++This is a critical vote that requires every citizen to make our voices heard on Capitol Hill immediately!
Everything you need to fax your elected officials – and many others – is one click away. Please take action NOW and tell Congress to stand firm on the protection of our Second Amendment rights!
While Harry Reid has tried to assure American citizens that proposed gun control measures in the Senate bill will not include a national registry of gun owners, the National Rifle Association, (NRA), the Heritage Foundation, and even the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) have all expressed concerns that the bill’s language opens the door for the creation and/or expansion of Big Brother’s database of gun owners and the number and kinds of guns they own.
++Liberty Counsel Action wants to amplify your voice!
Patricia, when you fax the Senate, your voice will be amplified by the thousands of other faxes that will flood Capitol Hill over the next 24 hours!
Would you take a minute right now and join with us in telling the Senate that America’s patriots will not allow this administration to run roughshod over our liberties?
++Freedom-loving Americans must “Stand their Ground on the Second Amendment” – today, before it’s too late!
We will lose our right to bear arms unless we stand our ground!
“We the People” must demand that our federal government honor the Second Amendment as an important component of the rule of law established by the United States Constitution!
Please, take a minute right now and tell our elected officials on Capitol Hill that this federal expansion of power and infringement on our Second Amendment rights are the wrong course of action!
Patricia, thank you for taking action on this crucial issue!
God bless you,
Mathew Staver, Chairman
