We at Campbell Cameras pride ourselves in the service we provide the outdoor industry. We also feel its our responsibility as American's to use this platform whenever our rights are in danger.
Right now, our rights are in danger.
This week Diane Feinstein will introduce a bill to the senate that will instantly turn your AR-15 or any other semi auto sport rifle into a Class 3 weapon, requiring registration, a $200 tax stamp, and the ability for the ATF to drop by at any time (unannounced) to inspect your weapons. New production of these weapons will be illegal upon passing.
But, thats not all. The bill will also ban standard capacity magazines, all handguns that "can" accept more than 10 rounds (every Glock, S&W M&P, Ruger SR9, etc), any firearm with a pistol grip (your favorite turkey gun), and firearms with thumb hole stocks (your deer gun). All of these firearms will become Class 3 weapons, making them illegal to travel across state lines, and none of them may ever be transferred. Not to a friend, not to your children. They must be forfeited to the ATF upon your death.
This is just the tip of the iceberg for this bill. Its beyond extensive. Watch, and learn more about it here. She's been planning this for a long time, and now on the backs of 20 innocent children, she sees her window of opportunity.
There is only one way to stop this. Call and write your representatives, even if you think they're on your side. Tell them this is unacceptable.
In no way do we at Campbell Cameras believe the infringements on our rights will bring safety to anyone. But, rest assured, this bill isn't about curbing gun violence. There is zero data to support that theory. It's about control, it's about registration, it's about confiscation, and it's serious. Remember, every time in history a group of people were required to register their weapons, it always lead to confiscation. Always.
Most politicians don't actually stand for much of anything. Few of them will know exactly whats in this bill. They do what their constituents want so they can get re-elected. Emotions are running high in the wake of this horrific killing, and many representatives who were thought of as "pro-gun" are reconsidering to please their base.
Make sure they know where you stand.
Contact your Senators

Contact your Representative

Contact them ASAP. Contact them twice...three times. We don't have much time.
Also, contact other retailers in the outdoor and shooting industry, and tell them to get the word out. Currently, many are not. Companies like Cabelas, Midway USA, MidSouth Shooter Supply, GunBroker, Brownells, The Sportsman's Guide, Cheaper Than Dirt, The National Shooting Sports Foundation, etc, all have thousands if not millions of people on their contact lists. We need them to utilize these lists to get as many people on the phone as possible.
Most media outlets will say there is little support for this law, but rest assured, if we don't speak up, it will pass. The future of our republic literally depends on our action right now.
Yours in Freedom,
Campbell Cameras
Happy New Year's
Thank you Campbell Cameras for taking a stand for the Constitutional Rights of gun owners and the Second Amendment. We who believe in the Second Amendment right "To Keep and Bear Arms" must stand together against those who would take away our guns and freedoms to own them.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the support!
ReplyDeleteMY Letter!
ReplyDeleteSenator Cocoran:
Sent the SAME to Congressman Bennie Thompson.
I believe that your position on the matter may differ from his, but the sentiment is still the same!
Congressman (Bennie; If I may be so bold) Thompson:
Please be so kind as to suffer my concerns without discrimination!
$200 Tax on My AR-15?
Bennie; should I pontificate, WELL because I know your stance on this volatile political issue I’ll keep it short! Perhaps you could acknowledge that the loss of freedom is nothing new in this country, and as histories play out in America we WILL ultimately relive its past if this is forgotten!
I have watched your campaigns leave the Metro and strategically move to the little towns, and I don’t believe that your rural constituents would understand this involuntary restraint to their unencumbered ownership of property.
Those who would give up ESSENTIAL LIBERTY to purchase a little TEMPORARY SAFETY, deserve neither LIBERTY nor SAFETY.
Benjamin Franklin: (the applicable irony?; he freed his slaves, and you are in that same historical position of power today)
Thank You THANKYOUVERYMUCH
