House Republicans Vote to Deny Second Amendment Rights to Millions
Last week while the NRA was spending their time and our money supporting Thad Cochran and denigrating those of us who supported Chis McDaniel, many Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives were busy passing more gun-control legislation.
According to Dudley Brown of the National Association of Gun Rights one in three Republicans decided to vote against your rights by supporting Barack Obama's agenda to label millions of American's "mentally ill". The Obama administration has been successful in denying more over 175,000 of our nations veterans their Second Amendment rights in this manner and are attempting to expand this to every American.
The amendment provids $20 million additional dollars for the federal government to acquire as many private medical records as possible and dump them into a national database. Once these records are obtained millions of citizens will be labeled mentally ill and denied their right to possess a firearm.
The mental illness threat is largely made up by those seeking to limit our rights and destroy the Second Amendment. In research published by <broken link removed>, Dr. <broken link removed>found through his research that only 5% of those convicted of violent crimes were people who suffered from a mental disorder.
Following his research, Dr. Appelbaum came to two conclusions, First, the proportion of violence that they (people with mental disorders) account for is relatively small, suggesting that the well-documented public perception of the mentally ill as dangerous persons is substantially exaggerated. Secondly, that the disproportionate attention given to their acts of violence by the media and by our elected representatives is unwarranted.
The assault on our rights and the Second Amendment comes from many directions. The Republicans who followed the lead of the Democrats and voted for this amendment are either allies with Obama in his attempt to destroy our rights or simply not smart enough to understand the real issue. Either way, they need to be sent home.
Here is the list provided by the National Association of Gun Rights of the Republicans who voted for this amendment:
Oregon
Greg Walden (202) 225-6730
Washington
Doc Hastings (202) 225-5816
Cathy McMorris Rodgers (202) 225-2006
David Reichert (202) 225-7761
