NEW YORK FIREARMS BAN!

SCOPE is sending this Alert to put all firearm owners on notice that the time to act is now. New York State has positioned itself to pass the most draconian gun laws in the nation. Governor Cuomo is pressing hard to push these bills through. Without a majority in the State Senate to block these measures; their passage is a very real possibility.

We are asking all members to forward all SCOPE communications to concerned citizens on their contact lists and ask them to contact their legislators. Time is short and the consequences of inaction are unacceptable.

These bills, with the Governor pushing for confiscation or a permit system for Modern Sporting Rifles, represent the biggest threats we have faced since 1968. You cannot relax if you do not own one of these rifles because they will divide and separate. Your firearms are next of their list if they succeed here.

SCOPE’S leadership, while representing thousands of firearm owners through individual memberships and clubs, cannot fight this battle alone. This is your call to action. Your participation is no guarantee that we will win this important fight to protect your Constitutional rights but we can say with certainty that anything short of overwhelming our legislators with calls, emails and letters we have virtually no chance. Truth is the only thing that really motivates most legislators is their next election and by contacting your legislators and letting them know that your vote depends on their support is crucial.

We are doing everything within our power to defend your rights, but remember we are an all-volunteer group and we need you to join us in these efforts.

Here is the ACTION PLAN

Forward this to your friends contacts and associates. Spread the word on Forums like NY Firearms with 6600 members or USA Carry with 45000 members or AR15.com with their 11,000 members etc Share on Face book etc. Pass this to at least 10 people that you know and plan to make some phone calls on Monday and Tuesday!

The Governors State of the State Speech planned for Wednesday January 9 at 1:30 PM.

Gun Owners, their families, friends and supporters of the Constitution need to invest a few minutes of their time and make some phone calls.

On Monday and/or Tuesday of this week, prior to the State of the State Address,

Call the Governor’s Office (518) 474-8390– AND LEAVE THIS MESSAGE:

"I am a law abiding, tax paying, voting, citizen of New York State and I strongly urge you not to impose any further restrictions, laws or regulations on my Second Amendment Rights as granted by the United States Constitution".

Then you call Senate Leader Skelos and Klein and leave the same message.

Then you call Assembly Leader Silver and leave the same message.

Please make these phone call messages to our ELECTED representatives. If the trunk lines into the capital become overloaded with call volume then so be it......this is the goal. WE MUST BE HEARD.

While waiting, you can also access their respective web sites and voice your concern through email message. Write the same message as above or add your own but be civil.

All phone numbers and links are listed below.

I think we ought to demand that the politicians get rid of their armed body guards then, since we apparently don't have the right to protect our own families.

Sent and facebooked and ill be calling on tues

[JPP]

thanks guys, keep up the good work!!!!

[Felonious_Monk]

You get the government you deserve.

Same people on this board voted for Obama probably voted for the Democratic State Senator/Assemblyman. Not that a NY Republican is any less liberal.

I ain't turning in anything. Period.

Don't you know? Politicians think only the rich and powerful are allowed to protect themselves. They don't give a rat's a$# about the others.

[Felonious_Monk]

Elmo hit the nail square on. We are well on our way to tyranny. Once the governing class considers themselves of higher status than the citizens to whom they are accountable, the path is clear.

they want to register all guns for $15each and renew every year for $10 each

http://open.nysenate.gov/legislation/bill/S805-2013

and more

http://open.nysenate.gov/legislation/bill/S1422-2013

http://open.nysenate.gov/legislation/bill/S202-2013

[Culvercreek hunt club]

But the same dinks are against a voter registration card becasue is makes it too cumbersome and out of reach to exercise the right to vote. And that ID would probably be a one time $25

Staten Island residents attempt to get armed guards in school will get shot down...no pun intended.

A stolen registered gun will kill just as well as a stolen unregistered one. Banning guns will just make people get creative in murder. Imagine some crazy person poisoning a school lunch program. They could kill hundreds instead of a handfull. You pull the trigger on a gun and everyone knows your intentions and runs. You dump a bottle of cynide in the school chili mac hundreds will be dead before they figure it out.
