Here is a quote from the Brady Campaign web site:
Brady Campaign wrote:The NRA has been pushing this bill for seven years, and, thanks to your efforts, it has never been able to get it through Congress. But now gun lobby extremists are in control, and they are on the verge of heaping this atrocity on our nation. We cannot let this outrage go quietly, we need to voice our anger. The more opposition we show now, the better our chances of undoing this travesty in the future. Our nation has always expanded rights and justice, and one day we will reverse this abomination.
We must not let the NRA take civil rights away from American citizens, and give unprecedented legal protection to million-dollar gun corporations.
The NRA is getting cocky. They rammed this bill through the Senate with no hearings and very limited debate. And now, with so many other crucial issues on its agenda, the House has instead decided to payback the NRA with a "closed" floor vote tomorrow -- with no amendments and no real debate.
As the New York Times editorialized this morning,
"With all the critical issues on the national agenda, from the Iraq war to hurricane recovery, the House's eagerness is obscene as the gun lobby herds lawmakers from both parties behind a bill to deny victimized families their fair day in court."
