Write Your Congressmen

While many times I feel that we have absolutely no power when it comes to politics and legislation, I was recently reassured with the defeat of the amnesty bill in congress. We need to voice our opinions once again on two pieces of legislation. One is HR 1022, the giant gun ban introduced by Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D) of New York which from the way I read is more restrictive than Clinton's ban. Apparently, Rep. McCarthy introduces this bill every year, but it seems it is garnering a little more support this year in the wake of the tragedy at Virginia Tech and she is using this tragedy to garner more support. From what I also read, Rep. McCarthy's main agenda in Congress is to pass more anti-gun legislation because her husband was murdered by someone with a gun. She is also the same woman in the video below who doesn't know the contents of her legislation.

The other legislation is a bill introduced by Rep. Ron Paul of Texas. This bill is HR 1096 which basically would restore all rights of the Second Amendment.
