Federal Magazine Ban to be attached to bill in Senate? Just got this via Virginia Citizen's Defense League e-mail.



They're suggesting being proactive and contacting your senators NOW and not waiting.







"

I just got word that there may be an attempt to slip a magazine ban similar to the one proposed by anti-gun Congresswoman Caroline McCarthy into a normally benign Federal Aviation Administration bill using an amendment in the U.S. Senate.



They can't really "sneak" it on without a vote on the amendment and therein lies our defense against it.



I contacted Senator Warner's and Senator Webb's office and they confirmed that they have gotten phone calls on this issue this morning from concerned constituents. They say nothing is on the docket for *today* and they can't yet confirm the validity of the rumor, but they are working on doing so.



Either way, we need to play this safe and flood both offices with calls letting both Senator Warner and Senator Webb know that magazine bans are not acceptable and to please oppose any effort to impose such a ban in any way."







Obviously this is directed at Virginia members, but it definitely applies to EVERYONE.



Get in touch with your Senators' offices today. __________________
