It’s been a busy week at Gun Owners of America.
GOA representatives have covered the airwaves -- both radio and TV -- and have received frequent invitations from national outlets, including CNN and Fox News.
This week, gun rights were in the news quite a bit: Much of it was encouraging; some was disappointing. What follows is a brief report.
1. Five traitors is all it took.
Five. That’s all the vote-switchers that anti-gunners had to muster in the Missouri Senate to kill a nullification bill BY ONE VOTE. Gun Owners of America had pushed the bill back in the spring when it was overwhelmingly passed by the House and Senate. Sadly, it was vetoed by Governor Jay Nixon shortly thereafter -- and the veto override fell just one vote short this week. See more of this story here: http://www.gunowners.org/alert09132013.htm
2. Larry Pratt routs the opposition on CNN.
Sparks flew this week when Larry Pratt debated Jim Kessler of the anti-gun “Third Way” on CNN’s Lead with Jake Tapper. Kessler was left speechless at points when Larry argued for repealing gun free school zones and eliminating background checks on gun buyers. “This is why I’m a GOA member,” said one proud gun owner in response to Larry’s performance.
You can go to the GOA Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/GunOwners to see the rest of the chatter over this CNN debate on September 11. We will be posting the debate online and will alert you to it soon.
3. Defeated Colorado Senator Admits that Bloomberg should close up shop.
We alerted you this week to GOA’s involvement in the Colorado recall elections that were mostly driven by the grassroots. The reverberations from that election -- where two anti-gun legislators were booted from office -- has been felt from Colorado all the way to New York City.
Prior to the election, one of the defeated Senators, Angela Giron, predicted what a defeat at the polls would mean for NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s group:
“For Mayors Against Illegal Guns, if they lose even one of these seats, they might as well fold it up. And they understand that,” Giron said.
Of course, Bloomberg’s group lost BOTH elections, not just one. This has not been a good year for Mayor “Big Gulp.” Go here to see our report from earlier this week. http://gunowners.org/alert9112013.htm
4. Time to double-down on anti-gun ObamaCare.
By now, GOA members should have received their latest GOA snail mail report on defunding ObamaCare. The postcards provided are a very, very important part of our legislative strategy. (Remember how crucial they were to defeating the Toomey-Manchin gun control proposals in April?)
Go here to start receiving GOA’s in-depth reports and newsletters if you are not already receiving them. GOA will be providing further updates on defunding ObamaCare soon. http://gunowners.co/new-annual-membership
