(This is a federal email about universal background checks legislation. While NY already has this for some guns sales, this email should capture your attention as NY’s Republican delegation in Congress will make or break this bill!)
As we told you last week, despite Joe Biden attacking the Second Amendment every other day, Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy is doing nothing about it.
McCarthy is refusing to put a gun bill on the floor for a vote.
He won’t even send a pro-gun bill to committee for a hearing.
But it gets worse than that.
Kevin McCarthy has allowed RINO-Republican Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) to file Joe Biden’s ‘Universal Background Check’ legislation in the House! And to thank him, McCarthy is holding a huge fundraising event for him next week!
In other words, by letting Fitzpatrick file H.R. 715, McCarthy is giving Biden and the Radical Left exactly what they want.
H.R. 715 bans the private sale of firearms in almost all cases and makes you and I felons for transferring firearms between lifelong friends without government permission.
But that’s not all.
By requiring virtually all firearm sales to undergo a federal background check, Joe Biden will create what the Radical Left has always wanted: a list of every gun owner in America!
Over 180 Congressional Democrats have already co-sponsored this legislation. They know that with it being sponsored by a backstabbing RINO, it will be far easier to pass.
H.R. 715 contains everything Biden wants. At a minimum it:
>>> Makes it a felony to buy/sell any firearm without effectively registering that firearm with the federal government by submitting to an FBI background check.
>>> Creates a national database of gun owners, laying the foundation for an eventual gun confiscation program down the road whenever the Left has the votes.
>>> Does absolutely nothing to stop armed criminals who will simply bypass this bogus law and continue to rob, rape, and murder law abiding citizens.
This legislation has nothing to do with stopping criminals. Almost every mass murderer of the last decade passed a background check or bypassed it by stealing a gun!
H.R. 715’s ONLY PURPOSE is to register you and me.
Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy has been an enemy to gun owners for a long time. But even he would be hard-pressed to move a national gun registry bill that was filed by Democrats.
That’s what makes this bill so dangerous.
By letting RINO Brian Fitzpatrick file H.R. 715, McCarthy has made it much more politically possible to put this bill on the floor. He could even claim he’s advancing the bill to “limit the damage.”
And in the wake of a school shooting (God forbid) that’s exactly what I would expect McCarthy to do.
The only way to stop this is for gun owners to GET LOUD and flood Congress with calls, emails, and petitions demanding that they VOTE NO on any form of national gun registry!
That’s why it’s critical that you sign your petition against H.R. 715 immediately, so that New York’s entire Congressional delegation (especially the GOP) knows that gun owners despise H.R. 715!
But when you do, please make a donation to help us mobilize as many gun owners as possible into taking action.
We are trying to get the word out about this bill using a combination of email programs (like this one), our texting program, social media ads, and more.
Please do what you can.
If the Biden White House — or ANY White House — is able to ban private party sales and create a national registry of gun owners, that only ends in disaster!
We can’t let that happen.
Stand with us today!
For New York State,
Aaron Dorr
Executive Director

P.S. Kevin McCarthy is allowing PA RINO-Republican Brian Fitzpatrick to file H.R. 715, Joe Biden’s bill to register virtually every gun owner in America!
We all know why Biden wants to register gun owners: it is to make it easier for the federal government to confiscate guns down the road, if they ever get the votes to pass that.
And now, Republican leadership is helping him do it! Sign your petition against H.R. 715 TODAY!
