    Anti-Gun Congressman To Hold Hearings Advocating Federal Clamp Down On Gun Shows

    Illinois - -(AmmoLand.com)- Rabidly anti-gun Congressman Mike Quigley (IL-5) will be holding a public hearing on a bill he has co-sponsored that would put gun shows under the supervision of the federal government.

    The bill, HR 2324, would subject gun show hosts to a slew of pointless, time consuming regulations in addition to heaping all sorts of red tape and record keeping requirements on gun show hosts and participants.

    The ultimate goal of Quigley’s bill is to make hosting a gun show too much of a hassle to endure. As a result, this bill would quickly make gun shows disappear all together.

    It should be noted that Congressman Mark Kirk (IL-10) is another co-sponsor of this slap to the face of the 2nd Amendment.

    Things You Need To Do To Save Gun Shows:

    1. Attend the hearing on HR 2324. The hearing will take place on Thursday, August 19, at 9:00 AM at the Dirksen Federal Building, 219 South Dearborn, Room 2510, Chicago. Be advised that the Dirksen building is a secure facility. You will have to go through a metal detector to get in. So, make sure your pockets are empty of anything that could get you in trouble. Do not do or say anything that could get you in trouble. When you get to the hearing, politely express your disapproval of HR 2324.

    2. Contact your federal representative and politely tell him or her that you are a law-abiding firearm owner and that you oppose HR 2324 and that you would like them to vote NO on the bill should it reach the House floor. (Find your Representative: IL State Board of Elections)

    3. Circulate this alert to all your gun owning friends and family. Tell them to show up at the hearing as well.

    4. Please post links this article to all internet blogs and bulletin boards to which you belong.

    5. Donate generously to the ISRA.

    6. Remember, gun control is a disease – and you’re the cure!

    ISRA needs your continued support. McDonald v Chicago was not the end of the fight but the beginning. The ISRA continues the fight for your firearm rights here in Illinois, with additional federal litigation against the City of Chicago.

    Federal Attempt to Ban Firearm Sales

    Michael Bloomberg leads push to ban private sales at gun shows.

    Colorado -–(Ammoland.com)- The rush is on to ban private firearm sales at gun shows under the guise of referring to these sales as a “loophole.”

    Federal law does not currently restrict private firearm transfers between law-abiding citizens whether they take place at home or at a gun show, and NAGR is taking a stand to keep it that way.

    As you no doubt already know, Michael Bloomberg and his millionaire cronies are pouring their money into a media blitz through their anti-Second Amendment group, Mayor’s Against Illegal Guns.

    The MAIG media blitz is designed to pass H.R. 2324, a bill in Congress that would ban private sales at gun shows.

    As usual, the anti-gun crowd is selling its lie with the rhetoric of tragic stories which are unrelated to their actual bill. They’ve also added a new trick to their playbook, and are claiming that gun owners support their ban on private sales. This rolling out of doctored statistics, claiming that gun owners support banning private sales, is a transparent attempt to manufacture consensus, but it’s been tried in the past.

    Should the BATFE be notified every time a firearm is given as a gift to a family member, or sold to friend at a gun club?

    To principled gun owners, it’s an easy answer: No.

    Naturally, the solution to these lies is the activism and passion of the members of NAGR and readers like you. Throughout the summer, NAGR has been putting the pressure on politicians to stand up for the Second Amendment, while we’ve also been alerting our membership to the truth about this issue to combat the well-funded lies of these “Mayors Against Illegal Guns”.

    The real danger of the anti-gun MAIG media blitz is their disguising of the actual goal of their legislation. While MAIG is spending Bloomberg’s millions around the country talking about a so-called “loophole” in the law, their real goal is to ban private firearm sales between individuals.

    While Bloomberg himself is repeatedly delivering a line about a so-called “small change in the law,” they are in fact out to stop any transfer of firearms without BATFE involvement – in other words, Big Brother is watching.

    In order to prevent this lie from becoming law, we must remain doubly vigilant, and be ready for all contingencies. These could come in the form of a quickly reformulated bill or even a late-night amendment to unrelated legislation.

    The House version of the bill, H.R. 2324, would require anyone wishing to make a private sale at a gun show to be entered into a federal government database, complete with fingerprints and photographs.

    Backed by the support of Michael Bloomberg’s millions and using Senator John McCain to claim bipartisan support, the radical left is using their so-called “gun show loophole” bill to move toward shutting down all private firearm sales.



    NAGR is using an aggressive strategy of grassroots activism to counter the million dollar lie. To stay informed on the latest movements on this issue, make sure you are signed up for NAGR’s email alert system.
