NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007 (HR 2640) and
the Judification of the NRA
by
Eddie Dee, Colorado Natonalist Coalition
A new
issue and concern has developed that could affect everyone
that visits this website, every member of the Nationalist
Coalition, and perhaps everyone you know that owns or
plans on owning a firearm for personal protection; anyone
exercising their Second Amendment rights.
In the Spring of this year US Representative Carolyn
McCarthy (D-NY), one of congresses most virulent gun
control advocates, introduced a bill into the House
of Representatives that has the potential of taking
away the gun rights for anyone that could possibly be
diagnosed as “mentally defective” - which
are the actual words used in the resolution - by a medical
professional. On its face it does not sound that unreasonable
until you do some research. The bill, presently known
as House Resolution 2640, is worded in such an ambiguous
way that it could easily be used against any patriotic
American that wishes to defend his; self, property,
family or country.
This is an extremely dangerous bill that threatens
everyone’s Second Amendment Rights, especially
those of us that might be deemed as not having a politically
correct agenda. It threatens the rights of all patriots,
dissidents and even our military veterans. In fact,
one organization – the “Military Order of
the Purple Heart” – has come out in strong
opposition to the proposed legislation. In a letter
to their members, dated June 18th, 2007, they say: “For
the first time [in history, HR 2640],
if enacted, would statutorily impose a lifetime gun
ban on battle-scarred veterans.”
This bill has already passed the House of Representatives,
and is on its way to the Senate Judiciary Committee
for review. The Senator that is sponsoring this bill
is none other than Charles Schumer, a Jewish gun control
advocate (D-NY). If the bill is fast-tracked through
the Senate, which is highly likely, then we could see
it brought up for a vote within the next couple of weeks.
To make matters worse, the NRA has already thrown their
support behind the bill. Yes, you read that correctly!
The NRA, an organization that is supposedly defending
the rights of Americans to “keep and bear arms”
is in support of this bill. An organization that has
historically always come down against gun control measures
and gun control advocates like Senator Schumer, is actually
supporting this bill.
Many of the supposedly “pro-gun” members
of the Senate will likely cast a blind affirmative vote
for the bill, simply because of the support that it
has from the NRA. In addition, it is also just as likely
that President Bush will support the bill for the same
reason.
So, if all these people who wish to see this bill passed
are “pro-gun”, why is it such a bad idea?
That answer lies within the wording of the bill itself.
But, before we discuss that, a little background into
the history of the resolution is necessary.
The bill began as HR 297 in April of 2007. It was introduced
by Rep. John Dingell (D-MI), who was once an NRA board
member, and by McCarthy as a response to the Virginia
Tech shootings in early April. The original intent of
the resolution was to “clean up” the National
Instant Check System (NICS) and make it easier for local
authorities to track the purchases of guns by people
who were declared as “mentally defective”
and not legally permitted to purchase firearms. By cleaning
up the database, NICS would quickly flag purchases by
these individuals, and local law enforcement authorities
could then be notified. Further, if the dealer finalized
the sale to the individual, they would be held responsible
for the actions of the purchaser. Again, on its face
it does not sound that unreasonable but that is only
at face value.
The legislation didn't stop there. Wording was included
that gave the BATF broad authority to brand anyone “mentally
defective” who so much as spoke a word that indicated
their intentions were seemingly hostile.
The bill went though a number of compromises until
it was introduced in its final form as HR 2640. Then,
on June 13th, the bill was brought up for an unrecorded
“voice vote” by the representatives that
were present in attendance in the House on that day.
Those that were not there were notified by email a few
hours before the vote, which was not nearly enough time
to change plans and attend the session! The resolution
passed, and the legislation was on its way to the Senate.
Within the text of that final “compromise”
are a number of paragraphs which should be of concern
to all of us. For instance, one paragraph indicates
that no agency or organization may notify the NICS of
anyone that they are aware of a “mentally defective”
person, “unless such adjudication, determination,
or commitment, respectively, included a finding that
the person is a danger to himself or to others or that
the person lacks the mental capacity to manage his own
affairs.” With such a broad definition, it could
easily be argued that someone who has “flipped
the bird” to other drivers on the highway is dangerous!
Certainly anyone holding politically incorrect views,
any dissident voice, could be deemed as a danger to
others.
Another disturbing aspect of the legislation is that
anyone who is so unlucky as to have their information
posted into the NICS database might find it nearly impossible
to get relief. The law offers relief but under some
pretty broad conditions: “(This legislation) provides
that a State court, board, commission, or other lawful
authority shall grant the relief, pursuant to State
law and in accordance with the principles of due process
... (if) the person’s record and reputation, are
such that the person will not be likely to act in a
manner dangerous to public safety and that the granting
of the relief would not be contrary to the public interest.”
So until a “lawful authority” declared that
anyone holding politically incorrect views, any dissident
voice, would not pose any danger to public interest,
that individual could be banned from owning fire arms.
The entire legislation is written in the same broad
scope as these small sections! Imagine how difficult
it would be for any of us to remove our names from NICS
based upon these conditions. The only thing that our
enemies would have to do is send a letter to the court
informing them that the person in question is a member
of a “neo-Nazi gang” and if he owned a gun
it is likely that they would begin terrorizing the neighborhood!
How many of our judges would not rule on the side of
those who oppose politically incorrect dissident voices
– especially if such a letter came from the ADL
or the SPLC? Perhaps half of them?
Some might ask, “Why, then, does the NRA support
this bill?” I've asked myself the same question!
Then I remember that recent elections within the NRA
governing board have added many more of the “chosen
people”, you know, more board members from Charles
Schumer’s tribe, to the ranks of those with a
controlling interest in the organization. You can bet
that the Jews are well aware that this legislation would
make it a lot easier to take our firearms away, therefore
the NRA is supporting legislation that a majority of
their members would oppose if they knew the real truth.
If nothing else, this bill lays more gun control groundwork
for that looming, slippery slope.
While it's possible to “name names” in
regards to the Judification of the NRA, I think that
the actions of the group, as a whole, speaks for itself.
For example, in the March 2007 issue of the NRA magazine
“America's 1st Freedom,” there is a biographical
article on Lyudmila Pavlichenko, a Russian sniper in
WWII. A quote from the article reads: “To Hitler,
the subordination of Ukraine would be an ideal foothold
for Lebensraum, and a chance to murder a large
percentage of the Slavic population”
(emphasis mine).
Another article, in the November 2006 edition of the
same magazine, is a book review of “The Swiss
and the Nazis”. This book, written by Stephen
Halbrook, is extolled by the reviewer with “unbiased”
comments similar to this one: “Though neutral,
Switzerland by no means intended to stand idle while
threatened by a regime that left the whole of
Europe in ruins.” (emphasis mine)
It is thinking of this type represented in the NRA
that jeopardizes our rights in this country. An organization
that is supposedly defending our Second Amendment rights
should not be playing judge and jury on events that
they are not qualified to evaluate. Since the organization
has taken dramatic turns toward bowing down to pressure
from the Zionists, including the election of a Jewess
for NRA president in 2005 and the election of another
Jew as president in 2007, it is not surprising that
they are willing to support an agenda that could easily
take away the firearms from those who would oppose the
Judification of the United States of America.
It's time for us to make our voices heard in the Senate.
I'd encourage all of you to send letters to your senator
and ask them to oppose this legislation. If they are
willing to listen to reason, you might even ask them
to at least remove the vague wording in the text of
the bill and resubmit it to the committee for approval.
Be firm, yet professional, when corresponding with your
senator. Let them know that veterans associations and
pro-gun organizations have strongly opposed this bill
from the beginning.
If you wish to get more information about the legislation,
the “Gun Owners of America” (http://www.gunowners.org)
has an entire section of their site dedicated to the
bill. Within their site is a form where you can email
your senator and ask them to oppose this legislation.
Once again McCarthy and Schumer have put our rights
as gun owners at risk. It's up to us to make sure that
legislation like this is soundly defeated. Will you
do your part?
