Dear Virginia NRA Member:
I don&#146;t have to tell you that gun owners are under attack like never before. At the national level, members of congress and the Obama Administration want to ban and register whole classes of firearms, even the pump action shotgun that you use at the skeet and trap range or for hunting. The U.S. Department of Justice is even talking about making you sign a log when you purchase ammunition, similar to what you have to do for certain over-the-counter drugs.

At the state level, there is talk in New York and Iowa of confiscation of firearms. And, in your home state of Virginia, anti-gun legislators have already introduced legislation to hold you civilly liable if your firearm is stolen and then used in a crime. Within the next two weeks, they have already promised to introduce bans on so-called &#147;assault weapons&#148;, ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, and restart their annual attack on gun shows. A candidate for Governor has even called for reinstatement of handgun rationing that was repealed last year, all while making a political show of purchasing a high-end shotgun to show that he supports the Second Amendment.

The only way to defeat these attacks is to band together, and make your voice heard in opposition to new restrictions on your rights. That&#146;s why I&#146;m asking you to join me in supporting the Virginia Shooting Sports Association (VSSA). I hope you will take a minute now to join, or if you are already a member, renew your membership. For 75 years, VSSA has been working to protect the rights of Virginia&#146;s law abiding gun owners. They have played a key role in reforming Virginia&#146;s concealed carry law, protecting gun shows as we know them, protecting shooting ranges from frivolous noise complaints, repealing the ban on concealed carry in restaurants like Applebee&#146;s and Olive Garden that serve alcohol as well as food, and in repealing Virginia&#146;s one gun-a-month law.

Now, as we face the biggest threat to our rights in decades, VSSA is already hard at work in the Virginia General Assembly, lobbying legislators, and letting them know that thousands of Virginia&#146;s gun owners stand ready to answer the call to flood their offices with calls and emails. But they need more of you to add your voice to their membership. Only a small portion of Virginia&#146;s NRA membership are also members of VSSA. You may be saying, &#147;I&#146;m already an NRA member. Why do I need to join the state association?&#148; Because VSSA is NRA&#146;s partner in protecting your rights and supporting the shooting sports so the next generation can enjoy the same rights we enjoy. They are at the General Assembly everyday making sure your rights are protected.

Finally, VSSA is the only full service gun rights organization in Virginia. In addition to lobbying the General Assembly, they support shooting disciplines, sanction state championships, and introduce new shooters to the sport. Just last year, VSSA played a key role in introducing hundreds of new women to the shooting sports by supporting NRA Women on Target clinics. In short, VSSA is your connection to the NRA and NRA programs at the state level.

Please take a moment now to go to http://www.myvssa.org/join and join VSSA. For less than the price of a half tank of gasoline, you can join for $25 for one year. For about the cost of a tank of gas, you can join for three years for $60, a $15 savings off the cost of the annual membership rate. When you join you will receive the quarterly member publication The Bullet, by email each quarter. You will also receive the e-Bullet, an electronic newsletter of information of interest to gun owners. And because VSSA is a Civilian Marksmanship Program affiliate, you will be eligible to make purchase of surplus firearms when they are available from CMP.

We don&#146;t have time to waste. The General Assembly has just convened and I need you to add your voice to VSSA so they can defeat the anti-gun bills that have been promised this session. Please join VSSA today.

Sincerely,


Wayne LaPierre

Having just heard President Obama's speech concerning his 23 Executive Orders on the radio, I have a few observations:
It was every bit the "dog and pony show" I was expecting, no more, no less. But some of it was still definitely good. I sold guns in a retail shop for over 10 years. In 1994 we were required to start running background checks on handgun purchases, followed about a year later to include long guns. At first we hated it (any new procedure was to be hated) but it wasn't long before we found ourselves appreciating the immense responsibility it lifted from us. No longer did we have to trust our instincts about whether we were dealing with Mr. Good Guy or Mr. Bad Guy. It was all there, in black and white.

We had a few customers who were collectors and , as such, were constantly purchasing and trading to upgrade their collections. They complained that they had no way to be so sure of their buyers, like we did; and, in fact, they didn't. One such customer went so far as to only sell to licensed firearms dealers, so he didn't have to worry about selling to a "bad guy". So some of these customers would come to me, asking "what can we do?" I had to say "nothing", you might live next door to your neighbor for 20 years, have picnics with them, mow each others' lawns, and still not know that he had a felony conviction 28 years ago. So to sell him a gun is a crapshoot, at best.

Obama's EO provides a solution to that crapshoot, and I like it.
When we would "run" our background checks, we were painfully aware that information concerning the mental status of our customer was inadequate. Another of Obama's EO's addresses this issue, and I applaud that, as well. It sounds like it's somewhat short of perfect, but hopefully it can be improved as time goes on.
Please be clear on this: I'm only addressing these specific issues. I haven't seen the full text of all 23 EO's.

I'm dismayed right now, to hear Rush ridiculing these efforts, simply because of their source. I understand his role in being adverse to Obama at any cost, but in this case it seems counterproductive. Oh, well...
Having just heard President Obama's speech concern... (show quote)



Thanks.

The Modern Day Gunslinger


Quote:

“The Modern Day Gunslinger is pure dynamite—a gunfighter’s bible. It is a must-read for the beginner, the master, or (perhaps most of all) the trainer.” - Lt. Col. David Grossman, author of the Pulitzer Prize–nominated On Killing

A result of twelve years of research, The Modern Day Gunslinger was written to meet the needs of the gun owner, the experienced shooter, those who own a weapon strictly for home and self-defense, and for the military member who wants to become a better shooter in defense of our country. It’s also for the law enforcement officer who risks his or her life going against the thugs of our society, and for anyone interested in learning the defensive and tactical training techniques from some of the best and most experienced shooters in the world.



An all-encompassing manual that addresses safety, equipment, tactics, and the best practices for all shooters, The Modern Day Gunslinger is the most all-encompassing book on shooting ever published. It’s a book that, in the words of senior special agent and U.S. government senior weapons and tactics instructor Dick Conger, “will save lives.”

Subject: They want to blame you for everything


It's not about protecting children. It's not about stopping crime.

It's about banning your guns…PERIOD!

Last week, NRA sat in on a White House meeting that was sold to the public as an "open discussion" about how to improve school safety. But that was a dirty lie.

They didn' listen to gun owners' concerns…they didn' consider any real solutions on how we can keep our kids safe…instead Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and their gun ban allies in Congress only want to BLAME you, VILIFY you, BULLY you, and STRIP you of your Second Amendment freedoms.

Right now, they're steamrolling ahead with legislation that would ban your guns, register your ammunition purchases, and even force you to register the firearms you already own with Obama's anti-gun bureaucrats.

I warned you this day was coming and now it's here. This is the fight of the century and I need you on board with NRA now more than ever.

I urge you to renew or upgrade your NRA membership as soon as possible. If it's more convenient for you to do so online, you can follow this link: http://www.nrastandandfight.com/
Now is the time when I need you and every gun owner to put an NRA membership card in your wallet and STAND AND FIGHT for our freedom. No one can take your place at the front lines of this battle…if we lose now, we lose everything.

The media has been on a vicious tirade to slander and intimidate you, me, and our fellow NRA members. We've been called terrorists and worse. They've blamed us and our Second Amendment freedoms for the actions of violent criminals and madmen. Our lives have been threatened.

But I won' let these brutal and bitterly personal attacks on you and me go unchallenged. I'll fight freedom's enemies. I'll fight to make our schools safer. And I'll fight for your fundamental right to self-defense and your sacred Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

But my strength, and the strength of our entire NRA organization comes from you and your strong commitment to our membership. I need you in our corner TODAY.

Thank you for your friendship and your support. Your letters and your words of encouragement mean more to me than you could ever imagine.

Together, we will defend our freedom.

Wayne
