"If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them - Mr. and Mrs. America turn 'em all in – I would have done it." -Senator Dianne Feinstein       It took her years, but bolstered by Barack Obama's 23 unconstitutional imperial degrees, and a shameful exploitation of a national tragedy, Feinstein is aiming to make her gun-grabbing dreams come true... and, unless you take immediate action, it will happen.        And yes... it will happen. According to NewsMax.com, "White House adviser David Plouffe... believes President Barack Obama has sufficient votes in Congress to pass gun-control legislation," and Plouffe went on to boast "this is the moment," as he spoke of the need and the willingness on the part of "more Republicans in Congress to think like Republicans... who are seeking compromise" with the radical Obama agenda.        And Feinstein herself went on CNN on Saturday and declared that her gun-grab will pass. The left isn't heeding what the pundits are saying... they're moving forward with confidence.        Our God-given constitutional rights are under direct attack, but we can make you one promise... if enough of us demand that our elected officials FILIBUSTER this assault on the Constitution, here and now, Obama and Feinstein's pipe-dream will go down in flames.        But no one is going to do it for you... you have the power to stop the eradication of our Second Amendment rights and that means that our elected officials need to hear from you... right here and right now.

Our Founding Fathers Understood Tyranny. It's Time For Elected Officials In Washington To Understand What Constitutes Tyranny.      Before we go any further, let's make one thing clear. This Obama-inspired gun-grab is nothing less than an attempt to impose tyranny on the people of the United States.        The pundits and self-proclaimed experts can continue to sugar-coat the matter all they want... we won't, and our Founding Fathers understood that the Second Amendment was a safeguard against tyranny.        Here's what they had to say:        "The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed." –Alexander Hamilton        "A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined... their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies." – George Washington        "When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." –Thomas Jefferson        "What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms." –Thomas Jefferson        "Those who beat their swords into plowshares usually end up plowing for those who didn't." –Benjamin Franklin        There's no room for doubt when it comes to the warnings of our founders and there's no room for doubt when it comes to the Obama-Feinstein gun-grab.        It doesn't deserve debate... it doesn't deserve consideration... it is such a dangerous affront to our God-given liberties that it must be filibustered so that it can never see the light of day.

It's About Banning The Majority Of Firearms.      We could tell you that this Obama-Feinstein gun-grab has nothing to do with keeping children safe, but you already know that it's a disingenuous attempt to ban law-abiding citizens from possessing firearms and a sickening and tyrannical attack on the Constitution.        Feinstein knows it too. She announced on her Senate website, front and center, that the purpose of her so-called "legislation" is to "prohibits sale, transfer, importation and manufacture of... dangerous military-style assault weapons."        But wait a minute... there's one glaring problem with Feinstein's statement. She's trying to ban something that is already banned. "Military-style assault" weapons have been banned in the United States since the 1930s. There are no automatic weapons commercially available for sale in the United States. A semi-automatic weapon shoots only one bullet every time you pull the trigger.        What the legislation actually bans is 157 different makes and models of commonly-used and legal firearms. Specifically it bans:        All semiautomatic rifles that can accept a detachable magazine and have at least one of the following features: a pistol grip; a forward grip; a folding, telescoping, or detachable stock; a grenade launcher or rocket launcher; a barrel shroud; or a threaded barrel.        All semiautomatic pistols that can accept a detachable magazine and have at least one of the following features: a threaded barrel; a second pistol grip; a barrel shroud; a capacity to accept a detachable magazine at some location outside of the pistol grip; or a semiautomatic version of an automatic firearm.        All semiautomatic rifles and handguns that have a fixed magazine with the simple capacity to accept more than 10 rounds.        All semiautomatic shotguns that have a folding, telescoping, or detachable stock; a pistol grip; a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 5 rounds; the ability to accept a detachable magazine; a forward grip; a grenade launcher or rocket launcher; or a shotgun with a revolving cylinder.        Bob Joly, a certified NRA instructor in Peyton, Colorado, put it in what we consider to be the proper perspective: "She's banning everything."        Well... not quite "everything." Gun Owners of America says: "A Feinstein-like semi-auto ban which, according to experts who have done the counting, could ban up to 50% of all long guns currently in circulation and up to 80% of all handguns."

Feinstein again: some "hunting and sporting rifles by specific make and model," weapons "manually operated by bolt, pump, lever or slide action" and weapons possessed "by government officials, law enforcement and retired law enforcement" would still be allowed.        Having a pump-action shotgun in the house is fine if you're going hunting but will be of little consequence when a better-armed intruder (or multiple intruders) break into your house, but that's not Dianne Feinstein or Barack Obama's problem.        But what is probably more of a threat to your liberties than making large numbers of legal firearms illegal is that Feinstein is also calling for provisions for universal background checks which many rightfully believe will lead to the establishment of a national database of gun owners that can then be used to effect confiscation of firearms.        It's no laughing matter or kooky conspiracy. In England, Canada and Australia gun registration was, in fact, a prelude to gun confiscation; so fears that gun registration in United States will be used for the same purpose should not be lightly dismissed.        Even Feinstein admits that her end-game is to "dry up the supply of these weapons over time" and some far-left politicians are already calling for all-out gun confiscation. New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Iowa State Representative Dan Muhlbauer are just two politicians who have recently and openly pushed gun-confiscation.        Muhlbauer went so far as to say: "We need to get them off the streets... even if you have them, I think we need to start taking them."        If we don't draw a line in the sand now, the other shoe will drop. Far-left Senator Richard Blumenthal even admitted that Feinstein's bill represents "a significant first step as part of a comprehensive program" ... a comprehensive program of what? ... We say gun confiscation. Use the button or the hyperlink below to send your urgent Blast Faxes to each and every one of the 45 Republican Members of the United States Senate.

It Can Pass Because Republicans Are Back In Town And Gearing Up For Even Greater Capitulations To The Radical Obama Agenda.      It gives us no joy to say it, but the sad and unfortunate truth is that politics in Washington has been reduced to little more than a sporting event and even "conservative pundits" dictate to us, through the filter of the media, that we should root for the home team simply because they are the home team.        But we don't believe that the legislative process is a sporting event, and we owe it to you to always provide a realistic and truthful outlook on today's political climate... and the outlook isn't good.        Just before returning to Washington, Republicans assembled at a high-priced vacation resort for an intense strategy session. Their first order of business was to give Barack Obama yet another increase to the debt ceiling in exchange for a "dog-and-pony-show" promise that real fiscal reform would come later.        Then, on Saturday, the other shoe dropped when Congressman Paul Ryan let the cat out of the bag while speaking to a group of conservatives and, in the words of the Associated Press, "outlined a pragmatic approach for dealing with a second Obama administration."        So what's the strategy? ... To put it in Ryan's own words, Republicans will now "carefully pick our fights with President Barack Obama."        "Carefully pick our fights"? ... Republicans haven't picked a significant fight with Barack Obama in over two years, not since he shoved ObamaCare down the throats of the American people.        Question: Isn't standing in opposition to a tyrannical assault on the Second Amendment that is opposed by a majority of the American people, a prime fight to pick?        Let's pick a fight on this gross infringement on the constitutional and God-given right of the people to keep and bear arms and let's make what should be plainly obvious, painfully clear to our elected officials: We don't want a "compromise" and we don't want a "reasonable debate." We want a filibuster because, simply put, the Constitution is not open for debate.
