Email from Texas State Rifle Association  

You’ve heard the expression “If you give them an inch, they’ll take a mile”. Congressional Democrats led by President Joe Biden are trying to take that mile.
 
You may have heard about the Assault Weapons Ban bill coming down the pipeline in DC. (Here’s the link to the original bill, if you like to read it or see the summary https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/1808/text )
 
In essence, this bill would ban all firearms that are not bolt action, lever action, pump or slide action. Also, it would ban magazines that hold more than 15 rounds, (that’s been amended from the original bill that called for 10 rounds) folding or telescoping stocks and threaded barrels amongst other things.
 
The bill, as of this morning, is out of Committee and according to what I am reading in the media, the Biden Democrats are still looking for votes. But with over 200 sponsors, I anticipate it will get a favorable vote on the floor of the House.
 
Basically, if it isn’t a hunting long gun, it’s an “Assault Weapon”.
 
But, they are going to try! They got their “inch” with Senator Cornyn’s help as you all know. The question is, will they get 1 deposit casino nz.com their mile?
 
Please don’t let them vote without hearing from YOU!
 
I would urge you all to contact your Congressman and make sure they vote against this bill. If you don’t know who that is, go here: https://wrm.capitol.texas.gov/home put in your address and all shall be revealed.
 
Need help? Hit “reply” to this email and I’ll do everything I can to assist!
 
And while you are making one call, please do call Senator Cornyn at 202-224-2934 and make sure he stays in his lane on this. His job is to represent Texans and after he gave them their “inch” on the last gun control grab (yes, that’s sarcasm, that was hardly an inch!!!), please tell him that this mile is just too far!
