Obama Lies-Senate Uses Sneak Attack On Guns
As a presidential candidate, Barack Obama deliberately and repeatedly lied
to America's 90 million gun owners across the country when he insisted that
he would not try to take away anyone's firearms, the Citizens Committee for
the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said.
Now House Republicans are trying to add an amendment to the public lands
"Ominous Spending" lands bill that would codify the right to carry concealed
weapons in national parks, less than a week after a federal judge blocked a
similar proposal.
But, Senate leaders have devised a strategy to use a bill that had already
passed the House -- H.R. 146, a proposal to protect Revolutionary War battlefields --
and strip its contents, replacing it with the "Ominous Spending" lands bill.
Because the House already passed H.R. 146, the Rules Committee can approve
a closed rule that would block a motion to recommit, eliminating the GOP's best
procedural chance to stymie the bill. The chamber would only need a simple
majority vote to concur with the Senate amendment.
Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms
CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, reacting to the "Ominous Spending" lands
bill tactic to force more gun control on U.S. citizen's said "the sneak attack
on guns reveals the Democrats clear intention to outlaw guns everywhere"
"Obama "has been lying to the nation when he says he will not take guns
away."
U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly placed an injunction on the Interior
rule last week. The judge's ruling infringed on the rights of gun owners as
drivers in areas such as Washington, D.C., often drive through federal park
lands every day. Rob Bishop (R-Utah) said "It's ridiculous for people to be
subject to two different sets of regulations simply because their car moved
a few feet," Bishop said in a statement. "The judge's decision last week was
wrong."
