Date: Mon, 23 Jan 1995 15:54:21 -0500 From: alerts@gatekeeper.nra.org (NRA Alerts) To: firearms-alert@shell.portal.com Subject: ALERT: Turn up the heat -- Repeal the Gun Ban! January 20, 1995 TURN UP THE HEAT -- REPEAL THE GUN BAN! Late last week, another bill to repeal the gun ban was introduced by staunch pro-gun supporters Rep. Bartlett (R-MD) and Rep. Stockman (R-TX). The bill, H.R. 424, is substantially similar to H.R. 125, the gun ban repeal bill introduced by Rep. Chapman (D-TX). The NRA wholeheartedly supports both of these bills. Simultaneously, we are working to guarantee that there is gun ban repeal language in H.R. 3 -- the Contract With American Crime Bill. In fact, pro-gun Democrats, led by Reps. Brewster (D-OK) and Tauzin (D-LA), have written a letter to House Speaker Newt Gingrich encouraging the Republican Leadership to include repeal provisions in the original text of H.R. 3! H.R. 3 is a high priority in the new Congress, however, House leaders have not yet included repeal language in this bill! We need to make sure they do! ACTION ALERT! Even if you've already done so, please contact members of the House Judiciary Committee and ask that H.R. 3 contain a repeal of the 1994 gun ban. The Judiciary Committee will start debate on H.R. 3 on Wednesday, January 25, so be sure to pass the word on to your family, friends and fellow firearm owners. ALSO, please contact YOUR U.S. REPRESENTATIVE and ask him to encourage Judiciary Committee members to include repeal language in the crime bill!
