URGENT - SC Gun Legislation H. 3292

Treedodger · Feb 12, 2011

I posted the long version of the Grassroots email in a thread already started, but it seemed buried. I hope all will understand, but I think this is much too important to be buried somewhere. Please read the actions requested below by Grassroots regarding the proposed gun rights legislation coming up this next week in subcommittee. They provide email links for all subcommittee members and links to postcards you can just print and mail also. It is very quick and easy. EVERYONE please take time to let SC lawmakers know how we feel.

Explanation and analysis of H. 3292:

to download the post card file.

(Click here http://www.scfirearms.org/postcard/Post ... tions.html
if you need instructions for printing the post cards.)

2. Cut the card stock into four post cards.

3. Sign the bottom of the message side of each post card.

4. Write your return address in the upper left corner of the address
side of each card.

5. Put at least a 28 cent stamp on each post card and mail them.

6. CALL and email each member of the House General Laws subcommittee
and tell them ?GrassRoots GunRights Speaks for Me!? Then, call the
three
principal sponsors of H. 3292 and tell them the same thing.

Members of the SC House General Laws Subcommittee:

Rep. Thad Viers

(803) 734-3064

Rep. Dan Hamilton

Rep. Dan Cooper

(803) 734-3144

If you are unable to reach any of these Representatives at their
individual office numbers listed above, call the House Judiciary
Committee
(803) 734-3120 and ask to be transferred.

Once you have done this, you should also send post cards to every
House member in the county in which you live. GrassRoots has created
a separate document for each county with post cards for each House
member. Click here and just pick your county
http://www.scfirearms.org/postcard/Post ... tions.html
and download the
post cards for your county House members and follow the same Action
Steps as 1 through 5 above. Give any extra postcards to your
friends and neighbors to send in.

The politicians MUST hear what good, law-abiding gun owners like YOU
think about H. 3292, and they need to hear it NOW!

Gun owners have the power to win. The question is whether gun owners
have the will to win. If gun owners work together and follow the
Action Steps above, we can get H. 3292 amended and enacted into law.

Thank you for taking immediate action on this very important gun
rights issue!

Thanks for the boost to this post. I'm new to the workings of the forum and learning as I go.

GrassRoots posted today on H. 3292, It said that the subcommittee voted to adjourn debate on H. 3292 to allow lawmakers more time to draft (with the help of GrassRoots and others) language for a single amendment to address all the the problems with H. 3292. Here is a link to the prepared statement they read:

It is not too late to let lawmakers know how you feel if you haven't yet.

SC panel delays loosening concealed gun law

SC panel delays loosening concealed gun law. It looks like the South Carolina Sheriffs' Association opposes the bill.

"Since 1996, these people have come to the Statehouse every year with an amendment that weakens it, chips away at it, broadens it to the eventual conclusion that we don't need it anymore," said Jeff Moore, the association's executive director. "Eventually, you chip enough, it's meaningless."

What a crock! The whole idea is to restore our rights...so chip away! Even SLED said they don't generally object to the changes.

BTW, everyone hit the poll.

The comments people left are actually more interesting than the story itself. I read thru most of the 200 or so comments. The prevailing theme, whether direct or indirect, seemed to be the inability of people to distinguish between a right and a privilege. I would expect this from opponents of pro-gun legislation, but what is disturbing is the fact that to differing degrees several supposed gun proponent comments reflected the same inability to undererstand a fundamental right as well.

The chipping away seems to be more directed at our personal rights of freedom. Maybe they would better understand if a permit was required before they were allowed to comment on the internet.......

Scan thru some of the comments to see what we are up against.
