Trying to slip in a magazine ban

[Richard Simmons]

Just got this from the VCDL.

Quoting Phillip Van Cleave of the VCDL

"I just got word that there may be an attempt to slip a magazine ban similar to
the one proposed by anti-gun Congresswoman Caroline McCarthy into a normally
benign Federal Aviation Administration bill using an amendment in the U.S.
Senate.

They can't really "sneak" it on without a vote on the amendment and therein lies
our defense against it.

I contacted Senator Warner's and Senator Webb's office and they confirmed that
they have gotten phone calls on this issue this morning from concerned
constituents. They say nothing is on the docket for *today* and they can't yet
confirm the validity of the rumor, but they are working on doing so.

Either way, we need to play this safe and flood both offices with calls letting
both Senator Warner and Senator Webb know that magazine bans are not acceptable
and to please oppose any effort to impose such a ban in any way.

Call Senator Jim Webb's office at: 202-224-4024

Call Senator Mark Warner's office at: 202-224-2023

Let's Roll!"

Went to the site and didn't see anything there about this?

The VCDL didn't happen to mention the original bill number they're trying to attach an amendment to?

Nope, just that it was an FAA bill, one of which is currently in the senate for a vote (S.223).

As an FYI - this morning, Good Morning America had Gabby Gifford's deceased aid's homely and raggedy-ass (really; she is unattractive to say the least) looking gal-pal on in an interview with Stefanoplous.

She is of course pushing a mag-limit ban in AZ and in the USA - as it certainly would have saved her prince's life if the Tucson Twinkie could only shoot 10rds out of his Glock.

This is how they work folks; trot out as many widows, orphans, and cripples into the media spotlight to garner pity and support for their cause. Never mind that the USA lacks the courage to buck political correctness and have suspected nutjobs brought in and looked at before they harm themselves and others.

Magazine Ban In FAA Bill?

There have been emails and blog posts racing across the Internet today about an attempt to slip Carolyn McCarthy's magazine bill into a non-controversial FAA Modernization Bill.

I got the email forwarded to me by Grass Roots North Carolina. I have seen other versions sent out by the Virginia Citizens Defense League on the War On Guns. Even Instapundit has it.

The source of the rumor is the National Association for Gun Rights.
