Dear Congressman
Lewis,
Below you will see an alert from Gun Owners of America
concerning keeeping the records of those having a background check run on
them to purchase a weapon. I request you vote for no such legislation.
First, we can't seem to trust the FBI anymore to keep
their word on anything. Perhaps they are too Clintonized in their morals.
Secondly, this is America and the people are supposed
to be innocent of any and everything until proven guilty. Why should an
American have to give up his rights to bear arms and give up his right of
innocence to prove he is a good guy?
Finally, I am personally getting tired of the
government spending money. Money we peasants send them, not because we
want but are forced to. It appears as though our "tax pie" has
become a "cobbler" and everyone has a reason to want another
piece. This program of keeping more records would require another piece of
the "cobbler." ENOUGH!
Thank you and I eagerly await your response and/or
comments in order to pass them on to our membership of the Kentuckians for
the Right to Bear Arms as well as Take Back Kentucky.

> [The best answer to the Moran amendment would be legislation by Rep.
Joel Hefley (R-CO). His bill, H.R. 1460, would actually go farther
than the Ashcroft position by requiring the "immediate
destruction" of ANY and ALL information that might help identify
lawful gun buyers.]

> ACTION: Please contact your Representative and ask him or her
to oppose the Moran amendment
which would require the FBI to keep background
check information for 90 days. Ask your Representative to
support any legislative provision that would require the "immediate
destruction" of Brady registration records.
