This Is No Time To Go Slack On The 2A

I just heard from Representative Mo Brooks’ [R-AL05] office (yes, they reached out to me). They are concerned that he is getting zero calls about ATF issues, “or any other gun control issues.”

“That may be because our Congressman is so pro 2A but it is concerning to me. If the politicians only hear from one side they may get the impression that the public wants more intrusion. Not all politicians take principled stands but instead go with the flow.”

He is right to be concerned. Not only do we have the ATF Improvement and Modernization Act of 2020, which… aims to give the ATF even more power to rape the Constitution, but the Biden Harris campaign is already working with the ATF to implement their victim disarmament plans.

I know folks are wrapped up in the elections, and concerned about the fake ChinCOVID surge (language warning). But we cannot let off the pressure; if we don’t let representatives and senators know we are still watching, they will assume they can get away with infringements. Yes, even Republicans who always love ’em some restrictions for the sake of “law & order.”

Emails are good, and Gun Owners of America have a good resource for reaching reps and senators on specific issues. The Firearms Policy Coalition also has a good tool.  But emails don’t get as “in your face” as a phone where someone has to hear the concern in your voice.

If, for some strange reason, you don’t already know how to reach your rep or senators, look it up HERE.

But I’ll give you a hint: You can simply call the senate switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask for your senator by name. When you get connected the office, make a simple statement.

Add that phone number, and your representative’s, to speed dial.

I’m calling to remind Senator/Representative [name] that protecting the Second Amendment is more important than ever, and I oppose the ATF Improvement and Modernization Act, which is designed to allow the ATF to shred the Constitution. Thank you.

Just a gentle reminder that we’re still here, still watching.

Please spread the word.
