Just got an RNC email stating Obama is in step 1 to repeal the 2nd Amendment

[mod mom]

I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS CAME TO MY EMAIL ADDRESS, WE HAVE NO "BEN" IN OUR HOUSEHOLD. LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE TRYING TO REV UP THE CRAZIES W THEIR LIES:

Dear BEN,

The Obama Administration has revealed its intention to reinstate the so-called "assault" gun ban -- Step One of their plan to repeal the 2nd Amendment.

Having already taken advantage of our country's current economic woes to speed the largest, most pork-laden spending spree in history through the Democrat-controlled Congress, the Obama team is again using fear tactics to impose bad policy.

Attorney General Eric Holder announced his desire to once again deny law abiding Americans their 2nd Amendment rights, using the ongoing violence in Mexico as justification.

Holder blames the legal availability of semi-automatic rifles in the United States -- and their subsequent misuse by foreigners committing crimes outside our borders -- on our right to own these firearms. The Obama administration's top law enforcement official then added that a new gun ban "will have a positive impact in Mexico, at a minimum."

The U.S. Supreme Court reaffirmed the individual's right to firearm ownership just last year -- but now the Obama Administration is again after our guns.

We cannot allow the rights of American citizens to be denied because of the misdeeds of foreigners outside the United States.

The mainstream media are clearly revealing their biased support of infringing our right to buy and own firearms. In an ABC News piece about Holder's gun ban announcement, a recent State Department travel advisory is referenced which warns visitors to Mexico of gun battles between government troops and "cartels employing automatic weapons and grenades."

American gun owners know that the "assault" gun ban has nothing to do with these fully-automatic machine guns and explosives, which are already unavailable to the general public.

It is clear that the Obama Democrats are looking for any excuse to once again threaten our freedoms. Their nanny-state, Big Brother mentality has no place in our Constitutional Republic.

Please help me spread the word about the Democrats' misuse of power by making a contribution of $1,000, $500, $100, $50 or $25 to the Republican National Committee today. Your gift will support the recruitment and election of principled candidates who will fight to preserve and defend our 2nd Amendment rights.

It's up to us to ensure that our precious liberty, for which so many brave Americans fought and died, is never taken away. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Michael Steele
Chairman, Republican National Committee

P.S. We are working hard to expose the irresponsible policies of Democrats in Washington, but we need your financial support to do this vital work. That's why I hope you'll take this opportunity right now to support our fight against any new infringements of our 2nd Amendment rights by making a secure online contribution of $1,000, $500, $100, $50 or $25 to the RNC today. Thank you.
