To Our Valued Customers,

You and I as well as all gun owners across this country are facing a dangerous period, the likes of which has never been seen in this nation's history. The battle that lies ahead will be focused not only upon our 2nd amendment rights but on the very existence of the 2nd amendment itself. The date of this upcoming battle? Why, its 4 November 2008 otherwise known as election day!

Judging from the actions and rhetoric past and present, of one particular politician it is entirely possible that we could witness the occupation of the office of the President of the United States by an individual that would have the potential to lead the anti-gun forces to control of the most important seats of power in Federal agencies and the Congress.

With that kind of power you can certainly count on these folks to plow ahead with their agenda to harass gun owners with a torrent of new federal regulations that could severely damage all Americans way of life. With the leadership on the Federal level they would embolden their minions on the state and local levels and together could drive up the cost of ammunition with new taxes or ridiculous regulatory requirements, put an end to gun shows, drive not only small but large gun manufacturers out of business and ban many of the most popular firearms available today as well as your ability to possess the firearms that may have been passed down from past generations as family heirlooms.

When they are finished wrecking the 2nd Amendment what in the world makes you believe that they will stop with that? Its the 2nd Amendment that ultimately protects all our constitutional rights. Freedom of speech and expression is next. They have already fired the first salvos in that conflict in trying to promote the resurrection of the Fairness Doctrine which would effectively drive conservative talk radio out of business because there is no liberal talk radio to oppose or balance it. The liberal side was presented by Air America but was a miserable failure due to the fact that few listeners wanted to hear and support via advertising their rantings. The market system worked and they have faded into obscurity. Now since there is no liberal talk radio they want to shut down conservative radio hosts by re-instituting the Fairness Doctrine which was struck down by the US Supreme Court in 1984. Whether you listen to talk radio or not this does effect you. So now you see that the same judges that they appoint and will be used to limit your 2nd Amendment rights will be used to then attack your 1st Amendment rights as well. Where will they turn next?

Now more than ever we must protect our 2 Amendment right to keep and bear arms from those who would affect that right as well as others guaranteed under the Constitution of the United States of America. There is only one national organization large enough to help you win this fight and that organization is the National Rifle Association and I would urge you to join today.
