Friend, |
We have an emergency on our hands. |
With the Undetectable Firearms Act of 1988 (UFA) set to expire soon, anti-gunners in Congress are pushing for its PERMANENT REAUTHORIZATION. |
The UFA bans the manufacture, sale, or import of any firearm that a metal detector cannot detect. |
But, as we all know, federal bureaucrats will always find a way to use existing gun laws on the books to further infringe upon our rights. |
And in this case, the Biden Administration has shown a willingness to weaponize the Undetectable Firearms Act in order to enact a widespread ban on firearms that contain plastic parts. |
That’s why we must pressure Congress to STOP the reauthorization of this law – and let it expire entirely. |
Thankfully, 74 Republican members of Congress have signed a GOA-backed letter written by Reps. Thomas Massie and Andy Ogles to Speaker Mike Johnson demanding that he oppose the permanent reauthorization of this unconstitutional gun ban. |
But now, the anti-gun lobby is coming out in full force, attempting to pressure weak-kneed Republicans and some allegedly pro-gun Democrats into reauthorizing this anachronistic gun ban. |
In fact, Chuck Schumer has already been blasting the airwaves with downright lies about the UFA, claiming that it fights crime. But the truth is: no criminal has EVER been charged under the UFA. But it can be used to ban guns and infringe upon the rights of law-abiding citizens. |
That’s why we’re asking YOU to counter the lies of the anti-gun lobby by urging your Representative and two Senators to STOP the reauthorization of this anachronistic gun ban that will certainly be abused by the Biden Administration to attack our rights. |
To maximize the efficacy of our grassroots outreach to Congress, we have drafted different letters to Democrats, weak-kneed Republicans, and the 74 Republicans who have already signed their name to the Massie-Ogles letter. |
(Upon entering your address, our system will automatically detect which specific letter your Representative needs to receive.) |
If you have any doubt that your letter will make a difference, I want to tell you something important… |
Just a few weeks ago, Reps. Thomas Massie and Andy Ogles’ letter calling for Speaker Johnson to REJECT a permanent reauthorization of the UFA only had 36 co-signers in the House of Representatives. |
But after GOA members like YOU bombarded their representatives’ offices, the number of cosigners DOUBLED to 72! |
In fact, the last time that the UFA was up for reauthorization – in 2013 – Rep. Massie was the LONE voice in the entire House of Representatives shouting “nay.” |
He didn’t even have a fifth of a quorum there to back him – which is what is required to demand a recorded vote. |
But this time, thanks to GOA activists like YOU, Rep. Massie has 73 members backing his cause to throw this unconstitutional gun ban to the ash heap of history. |
Now that Chuck Schumer and the hysterical voices of the anti-gun lobby are trying to get the attention of the remaining members of the House of Representatives, it’s time for us to turn up the heat on Congress and ensure that they hear from the single most powerful voice in the nation – grassroots VOTERS like you. |
In Liberty, |
