Joe Biden’s handlers in Washington, D.C. are pushing the most radical gun control agenda that America has seen in decades, introducing gun control bills that would do irreparable damage to my right to keep and bear arms if passed into law. But while Biden and Congressional Democrats would love to simply ban our AR-15’s or pass a national ‘Red Flag Gun Seizure’ law, they don’t have the 60 votes they need to get this done. In the meantime, they are working hard to pass the ‘Violence Against Women Act’ (VAWA) which is full of bureaucratic and administrative gun control. One of most egregious sections of the House’s version of the VAWA (H.R. 1620) would allow the federal government to deputize local cops to act as temporary agents of the ATF, while deputizing local prosecutors to work as Assistant US Attorneys, with the goal of prosecuting violations of VAWA in federal court! This is all a part of the radical left’s war on gun owners. Biden knows that his gun control agenda isn’t popular in ‘red’ America and that trying to get a jury to convict gun owners of the types of new ‘crimes’ detailed in the VAWA would likely be impossible. And that’s why they want these cases tried in federal court. I don’t want local cops to be mere appendages of the corrupt ATF. And I certainly don’t want our local prosecutors to become mere appendages of the Merrick Garland Department of InJustice! Democrats at all levels of government are trying to force every man, woman, and child in the country to submit to their vision for America. And part of that vision includes disarming as many Americans as they possibly can, so that we’re unable to resist their tyrannical agenda. Federalizing and weaponizing local authorities against gun owners is all part of that agenda. While some Republicans in the Senate like Joni Ernst and Lisa Murkowski have already betrayed gun owners and have agreed to jointly sponsor this legislation with Dianne Feinstein and Dick Durbin, I wanted to make sure you knew that I expect you to dig in your heels and do everything you can to STOP the VAWA until every piece of gun control is stricken from the bill. The American Firearms Association will keep me informed about the status of this bill.

The radical left is determined to do anything and everything they can to harass law abiding gun owners like me. The ‘Violence Against Women Act’ (VAWA) that passed out of the House (H.R. 1620) and that is being unveiled in the Senate by Dianne Feinstein and backstabber Joni Ernst is just the latest example of this. One key provision of this language is a requirement that the FBI send an incident report to local law enforcement any time a gun owner fails a NICS check, encouraging local authorities to open a criminal investigation. But the NICS system is a joke, and an estimated 94% of NICS denials are false positives, meaning that tens of thousands of gun owners will be harassed for nothing if this language remains in the VAWA! But that’s not all. The VAWA would also weaponize local law enforcement by making local cops into ATF agents and local prosecutors into deputy US Attorneys to be able to prosecute violations of this bill. VAWA also allows gun owners to be declared a ‘prohibited person’ and disarmed for life for a misdemeanor conviction of stalking. Of course, no one is defending stalking. But if we allow the left to start designating misdemeanors as grounds for being declared a prohibited person, we are opening the flood gates and eventually we’ll see dozens of misdemeanors added to this list! This could disarm a massive number of gun owners! The VAWA also changes the definitions of who can be prosecuted under federal domestic violence statues by clarifying that ‘sexual contact’ is not required between the parties and that anyone in a ‘social relationship’ would meet these parameters. This standard is wide open for abuse. I’m tired of the gun grabbers doing everything they can to demonize, threaten, and harass law abiding gun owners. And I’m especially tired of seeing RINO Republicans like Joni Ernst join in these efforts. That’s why I’m writing to urge you to ‘VOTE NO’ on the Violence Against Women Act until every single piece of gun control is removed from this bill! The American Firearms Association will keep me informed about the status of this bill.

Gun owners have stood tall all year and fought back against every single piece of Joe Biden’s attack on the Second Amendment. And while some gun control bills have passed the House, these bills have died in the Senate as Chuck Schumer simply doesn’t have the 60 votes he needs to pass them. That’s why I was so disgusted to see a recent press release from Dianne Feinstein, bragging about how Republican Senators Joni Ernst and Lisa Murkowski are jointly sponsoring Feinstein’s version of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA!) When the VAWA passed out of the House it opened up the domestic violence definitions to include all ‘social relationships,’ urged local authorities to prosecute all NICS rejections even though 94% of them are false positives, increased the number of misdemeanors than can put gun owners into the prohibited persons database, and federalized local cops and prosecutors to bring all of these new criminal charges into federal court! And while the Feinstein/Ernst version of this bill hasn’t been released, insiders tell me that it has the same type of gun control language in it. The fact of the matter is that I don’t want to see ANY deals between notorious gun grabbers like Dianne Feinstein and Dick Durbin and the Republicans in your conference. Your ONLY job right now in the Senate is to hold the line on Biden’s gun control agenda and buy time for the American people to get to the polls in November where we will hopefully wrest control of Congress away from Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer! And to be clear, I want you to oppose the VAMA until each of the gun control items I mentioned above are removed from the bill. The American Firearms Association will keep me informed about the status of this bill.

Federalizing and weaponizing local authorities against gun owners is all part of that agenda. That’s why I’m writing to urge you to ‘VOTE NO’ on the VAWA as it is currently written. You may not want to oppose this legislation because of the gun control that is contained in it. But in light of the election results in Virginia and New Jersey last year, not to mention Joe Biden’s plummeting poll numbers, you certainly better think about opposing it due to the harm it will bring to your conference in November! The American Firearms Association will keep me informed about the status of this bill.
