Thought everyone here should see what we are facing:

We Won, the NRA Lost, Now Let's Get Busy

Dear XXXXXX,

Jim and I couldn't be more pleased and proud of what you helped make happen this week. We have a tremendous opportunity with our new leaders.

I can tell you: it hasn't been this good for quite a while!

The NRA is reeling from their election defeats. They lost in states where they spent millions on ad campaigns and endorsements. Now they are quickly re-building their war chest to fight us all the way.

You know me as a do-er. I like to make things happen — especially when it results in saving lives. And as much as I want to breathe a sigh of relief after this week's election, we need to get busy.

Please help with an immediate donation to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.


I don't want to lose any time getting the new Congress and the White House to move our life-saving agenda forward. Click here to donate.

I want our newly elected officials to hit the ground running as much as you do. We need the new Congress to close the gun show loophole, enact a comprehensive assault weapons ban, and stop illegal gun trafficking.

We can't wait another moment to get started on the tough work ahead.

We have many allies in Congress. More than 91 percent of Brady-endorsed candidates won their races. And President-elect Obama and Vice President-elect Biden are strong and consistent supporters of common sense gun measures.

But they need to hear from the Brady Campaign right now. Please contribute to the Brady Campaign to make sensible gun laws a top priority in this new Administration.

Sincerely,
,
Sarah Brady, Chair

P.S. The Brady Campaign has so many allies in Congress now. Please donate today to help move quickly to pass sensible gun laws.

Sad to say, yes it is for real.

These folks believe they are in for smooth sailing and will be able to easily enact their dream list of gun bans.

BTW, I smoked a nice Macanudo Hampton Court Maduro this morning. Not my usual smoke, very very mild, but hey, I got it free so I wasn't going to turn it down :)

What is really startling is the majority they are taking in the Congress overall. This will be the most liberal administration this country has likely ever seen in the past century. They will likely be able to push through just about any legislation they want nearly unchallenged.

Personal sales at gunshows are not required to do a background check on firearms. If you wanted to rent a booth at your local gunshow to get rid of some of your guns you wouldnt have to do background checks only dealers have to.

The fact that there are no NCIS checks for guns sold at shows. Possibility that someone that shouldn't be buying a gun is in fact buying one.

Even though an individual can sell to anyone that can legally possess a firearm with no paperwork needed.

IMO, It's just a BS excuse to control the gun industry.
