Firearm Sales Surge Across South: Rise in sales appears to be related to
concerns about about criminals arriving among evacuees from New Orleans
but one example cited involves three nurses going back into New Orleans.

From JPFO:

ALERT FROM JEWS FOR THE PRESERVATION OF FIREARMS OWNERSHIP
America's Aggressive Civil Rights Organization

September 9, 2005

JPFO ALERT: IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE TRUTH,
           DELETE THIS ALERT IMMEDIATELY!

"Police Begin Seizing Guns of Civilians - Local police
officers began confiscating weapons from civilians in
preparation for a forced evacuation of the last
holdouts..."

It sounds like a headline from _Unintended Consequences_.
But it's happening now -- today -- in New Orleans.  Law
enforcement officials are confiscating the legally-owned
firearms from law-abiding citizens without due process,
without warrants, and without cause, leaving their owners
utterly defenseless and at the mercy of looters and thugs.

According to an article in the New York Times
(http://tinyurl.com/9ot44), the police superintendent P.
Edwin Compass III decreed that no civilians in New Orleans
will be allowed to carry firearms of any kind, even if they
possess permits to do so. "Only law enforcement are allowed
to have weapons," he said.

(Well, not quite. The New Orleans police department will
not be confiscating the weapons of private security
personnel, guaranteeing that only those wealthy enough to
afford a private bodyguard can be assured of protection).

Second Amendment advocates have long warned that such
confiscations would undoubtedly occur in the event of major
catastrophe. That they were right is not a surprise. Sadly,
neither is the fact that few gun owners have resisted the
confiscations.

Over the years, Americans have become increasingly ignorant
about what rights they really have. Inalienable, individual
rights have given way to "junk rights" -- privileges to be
granted or withheld at the whim of the government. So if
the government demands that they give up their guns, it's
only natural that they should comply. Police officers and
soldiers who are confiscating the firearms are either
equally ignorant about citizens' rights ... or _simply
don't care_ about following unconstitutional orders.

We've stated repeatedly that we must restore a Bill of
Rights culture in this country. Until the populace knows
ALL of its rights _and insists those rights be respected_ ,
the "brown-shirting" now in New Orleans will only get
worse.

In just a few weeks, JPFO will release its latest
documentary, _Bill of Rights or BUST!_ This efficient,
effective tool can quickly and easily help people
understand their rights, and points out how our government
is stealing those rights away. The introductory price for
this high-quality video is only $19.95 postpaid, a $5
savings!. You can pre-order _Bill of Rights or Bust!_ today
by visiting www.jpfo.org/videostore.htm#borob .

We MUST educate our fellow citizens about the Bill of
Rights, or what's happening in New Orleans today will
probably happen in your town tomorrow.

Wanna bet the brownshirts aren't lusting to do it?

New Orleans Firearm Confiscations "Blatantly Illegal": Attorney David
Kopel seems to have done a bit more homework on Louisiana law than the
NRA-ILA, whose milder statement appears below.

http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2005_09_04-2005_09_10.shtml#1126317466

From The NRA-ILA:

NRA-ILA Grassroots Alert Vol. 12, No. 36 9/09/05

NRA-ILA COMMENTS ON SITUATION IN NEW ORLEANS

Numerous media sources are reporting on a campaign by New Orleans city
authorities to confiscate lawfully-owned firearms from people in the
city.  Louisiana statute does grant the government, during a state of
emergency, broad powers in regulating and controlling firearms.

However, we have seen not just with Hurricane Katrina, but other similar
situations, that when police are unable to control the criminal element,
people turn to the one freedom that protects all others--the Second
Amendment.

While one can certainly understand the dire predicaments of all those
affected by Hurricane Katrina, as we have learned throughout history,
campaigns to disarm the lawful do nothing to disarm the criminal.  And
in truth, these restrictions make citizens less safe.  Despite the
valiant efforts of many law enforcement officers and rescue workers, too
many of those left in the wake of Katrina are ultimately responsible for
their own security and safety and that of their families and loved
ones.  This is especially true when communication is virtually
non-existent and police can't be quickly summoned to respond to calls
for help.  At these times, lawful gun ownership is paramount to personal
safety.

Of course, the entire situation in New Orleans is constantly in flux.
But rest assured NRA is monitoring this situation very closely and will
address any activity by the government that unduly infringes upon the
rights of lawful gun owners at the appropriate time. As we learn more,
we will report to our members accordingly.  In the interim, however, we
join with all Americans in offering our thoughts, prayers, and
assistance to the victims and survivors of this terrible natural disaster.

NRA-ILA GRASSROOTS-ELECTION WORKSHOPS

With Virginia being one of only two states holding elections this year,
all eyes will be on the Commonwealth.  In preparation for the November
elections, NRA-ILA is hosting a series of FREE Grassroots-Election
Workshops across the state, with stops in Virginia Beach, Harrisonburg,
Roanoke, and Leesburg.

At the Workshops, you will hear from pro-freedom candidates and their
staff, NRA-ILA representatives, and NRA-ILA Election Volunteer
Coordinators (EVCs) on what you can do locally to propel pro-gun
candidates to victory on Election Day--November 8, 2005.

The meetings also provide a venue for  lawmakers, candidates, and their
staffs to reach out to NRA members and explain their positions on our
Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

Upcoming Workshops are slated for:

Saturday, September 24, 2005 - Virginia Beach, VA
Saturday, September 24, 2005 - Harrisonburg, VA
Saturday, October 01, 2005 - Leesburg, VA
Saturday, October 01, 2005 - Roanoke, VA

Once again, the Workshops and related materials, including food and
drink, are FREE!  NRA members who are interested in attending should
contact the NRA-ILA Grassroots Division at (800) 392-VOTE (8683) for
details and to reserve their seats.  NRA members who have access to the
Internet can also go to www.nraila.org/workshops/
<http://www.nranews.org/UM/T.asp?A2.24.1864.8.4325426> to reserve their
seats on-line.

CONTINUE TO URGE PASSAGE OF S. 397 IN U.S. HOUSE

As you know, the U.S. Senate has passed S. 397--the  "Protection of
Lawful Commerce in Arms Act"--by a strong bipartisan vote of 65-31!
This action represents a great victory and a vitally important first
step toward ending the anti-gun lobby's shameless attempts to bankrupt
the firearm industry through reckless, predatory lawsuits.  It also
represents a crucial step forward for law-abiding firearm manufacturers,
retailers, and owners in this country.

With Congress now back in session, it is critical that you once again
contact your U.S. Representative's Capitol Hill office in Washington,
D.C., and urge him/her to pass S. 397 as passed by the Senate!

You can find contact information for your elected officials by using the
"Write Your Representatives" <http://www.capwiz.com/nra/dbq/officials/>
tool at www.NRAILA.org <http://www.NRAILA.org/>.  Or you can call your
U.S. Representative at (202) 225-3121.

We can and will achieve our mutual goal of finally enacting this common
sense law, but only with your continued assistance.  Please help us
finish the job once and for all by contacting your U.S. Representative
in Washington and urging him/her to support the  "Protection of Lawful
Commerce in Arms Act" as passed by the Senate.

FIREARMS LAW & SECOND AMENDMENT SYMPOSIUM:
Is The Second Amendment The First Among Equals?

To fulfill the promise of the Declaration of Independence, the authors
of the U.S. Constitution and its Bill of Rights made it clear that
individual rights were paramount.  The Bill of Rights, wrote James
Madison, was "calculated to secure the personal rights of the people."

Yet when the U.S. Department of Justice issued its exhaustive 2004
memorandum on the Second Amendment, concluding without reservation that
"the Second Amendment secures a personal right of individuals," the
national media was apoplectic.  So politicized had this right become
that it had been clearly set apart and segregated as different from
other rights guaranteed to the "people" as in the 1st, 4th, 5th, 9th,
and 14th amendments.

To examine the Second Amendment in a scholarly and in-depth forum,
prestigious constitutional scholars will convene at this symposium to
explore issues past and present, pro and con, covering this
controversial topic.

This event promises to present a thought-provoking and balanced
discussion of this least understood, and arguably, the most factious
freedom contained in the Bill of Rights.

This first ever "Firearms Law & the Second Amendment Symposium" will be
hosted by Law Students for the Second Amendment, at George Mason
University School of Law along with The NRA Foundation and the NRA Civil
Rights Defense Fund.

Each symposium registrant will receive a packet that contains the
panelists' written materials on the subject--an excellent source for
future reference.  The event, including all materials, food and
beverages is free, and is open to the public.

The symposium will be held:

Saturday, September 24, 2005,
George Mason University School of Law (Arlington, VA Campus),
9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., (Registration from 8:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m.),
3401 Fairfax Drive, "Original Building," Room 329,
Arlington, VA

Attendance for this seminal event is increasing daily.  To reserve your
place, please visit www.nraila.org/workshops/Symposium.aspx?ID=GMUSL
<http://www.nranews.org/UM/T.asp?A2.24.1864.11.4325426> or call (800)
392-8683.

(NOTE:  CLE Credit will be attained in the effort to serve new attorneys
and general practitioners seeking advanced or specialized information
concerning firearms law at the federal and state levels.)

CALIFORNIA
The State Senate has just adjourned with no action on Assembly Bill
352.  AB 352 cannot be acted upon until the second half of the session
starts next year.  AB 352 would expand the definition of unsafe handguns
to include semi-automatic pistols that are not designed and equipped
with an array of microscopic characters, which identify the make, model,
and serial number of the pistol by imprinting the characters on each
cartridge case when the firearm is discharged.

ILLINOIS
The Cook County Board of Commissioners did not bring up the proposed ban
on certain semi-automatic firearms at Thursday's board meeting, so it
appears pressure from the pro-gun community is being felt.  This issue
is far from dead, however, and NRA will continue to oppose this attack
on the Second Amendment.  Please continue to let your Cook County
commissioner know that you object to this attempt to ban these common
firearms from law-abiding citizens.  The general number for the County
Board is (312) 603-6398.  For specific contact information on your
commissioners, please visit:

NORTH CAROLINA
The North Carolina General Assembly adjourned last week, and the pro-gun
community was successful in derailing an anti-gun measure that could
have created long-term threats to our Right to Keep and Bear Arms.  SB
892, introduced by Senator Tony Rand (D-19), was innocently promoted as
a bill to study the "trafficking of illegal handguns," but appeared to
be written by the anti-gun extremists at North Carolinians Against Gun
Violence (NCGV) as a template to facilitate future attacks on gun shows,
the lawful private transfer of firearms, the privacy of law-abiding gun
owners, as well as "[a]ny other issues the Commission considers
appropriate."  The rather ominous "[a]ny other issues" is taken directly
from SB 892, and could have opened up any firearm-related matter as
being subject to study by the Commission.  While NRA had received
assurances that this legislation would not be brought up in the Senate,
Sen. Rand waited until the last minute to usea procedural maneuver to
attach the language contained in SB 892 to an omnibus study bill (HB
413) that contained numerous other issues, which the Senate passed.
Working with House Speaker James Black (D-100) and a bi-partisan
coalition of pro-gun Representatives, NRA and the pro-gun community were
able to keep HB 413 from being heard, while the House passed a separate
study bill that did not contain the language from SB 892.  In addition
to derailing this study bill, the General Assembly passed HB 1311, the
"Domestic Violence Victims Empowerment Act."  Introduced by pro-gun
Representatives Mark Hilton (R-96) and Linda Johnson (R-83), this act
allows victims of domestic violence to show proof of a protective order
issued under chapter 50B of the general statutes as evidence that an
emergency situation exists, so that they may acquire an expedited,
temporary permit to carry a concealed handgun for personal protection.
HB 1311 also requires domestic violence victims be notified that theym
ay apply for these temporary permits when a protective order is issued.
While this bill was not a primary objective for NRA this session, we did
support its passage, and worked to ensure its intent remained intact.

TEXAS
Attorney General Greg Abbott (R) has negotiated, and Governor Rick Perry
(R) has signed, two more handgun carry license reciprocal agreements
with the states of Missouri and South Dakota.  For more information,
please visit www.txdps.state.tx.us
<http://www.nranews.org/UM/T.asp?A2.24.1864.16.4325426>.  These
agreements, in addition to the two signed last week with Michigan and
Virginia, were made possible by the passage of HB 225 by Representative
Joe Driver (R-Garland), Representative Glenn Hegar (R-Katy), and Senator
Bob Deuell (R-Greenville) during the 2005 session of the Texas
Legislature, which made key improvements to Texas's reciprocity law.

VIRGINIA
Pro-gun gubernatorial candidate Jerry Kilgore (R), is looking for
volunteers tomorrow, Saturday, September 10, to help at the NASCAR race
in Richmond.  Volunteers will be working the parking lots circulating
petitions and campaign material for approximately two hours.  Volunteers
should meet at the Kilgore Campaign Headquarters (7870 Villa Park Drive,
Suite 800, Richmond) no later than 10:30 a.m.  Campaign officials will
then shuttle volunteers to the race track parking lots where they will
engage arriving race fans.  At 1:00 p.m., campaign officials will pick
volunteers up and return them to the campaign headquarters.  Please be
sure to check www.NRAPVF.org
<http://www.nranews.org/UM/T.asp?A2.24.1864.17.4325426>, and future
issues of the Grassroots Alert, for updates and election information
regarding Virginia's November 8, 2005 General Election.

WISCONSIN
As you may be aware, the Town of Waukesha was considering a new
ordinance imposing dramatic new restrictions on the ability of residents
to hunt within the town limits, even where it is safe to do so.  This
ordinance would have prevented many residents from engaging in the safe
sporting activities they have enjoyed for generations.  Fortunately, the
Town Board listened to the concerns of local residents like you and
rejected the restrictive ordinance.  Instead, it adopted an alternative
ordinance that substantially improves circumstances for gun owners and
sportsmen. We ask that you call the Town Clerk at (262) 542-5030 and
leave a message for Chairman Rodney Stillwell and Board Members Steven
Smart and Robert Tallinger.  Please thank them for their role in
protecting the rights of gun owners and sportsmen in Waukesha.  Voice
your approval of their actions so they will continue to safeguard our
Second Amendment Rights and hunting heritage.

From GOA:

House Getting Ready to "Roll Over and Play Dead"
-- Ask your Representative to insist on H.R. 800, rather than S. 397

Gun Owners of America E-Mail Alert
8001 Forbes Place, Suite 102, Springfield, VA 22151
Phone: 703-321-8585 / FAX: 703-321-8408
http://www.gunowners.org

Friday, September 9, 2005


Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, is
considering legislation to protect the gun industry from predatory
lawsuits.  What has not yet been determined, however, is which bill
(House or Senate) will be voted on.

You will remember that when the Senate passed S. 397 in July, it
included two anti-gun amendments.  But the House bill, H.R. 800, is
free and clear of ANY gun control whatsoever.

S. 397 provides for a troublesome study that could result in the
BATFE concluding that almost all rifle bullets are armor piercing.
Also, S. 397 requires the sale of trigger locks -- whether you want
one or not -- with all new guns.

The trigger lock measure is guaranteed to get worse in the near
future. Sen. Barbara Boxer, who has promoted this bad idea, is just
waiting for sales of gun locks to be required so she can come back
for more -- namely, requiring you to use those locks and, thus,
forcing you to "lock up your safety."

Do you think Congress would never do that?  Did anyone think that
requiring seat belts to be in cars would result in laws penalizing
those who drive without them?

The anti-gunners are playing chess with us, and they are always
looking several moves ahead.  That is why it is imperative that we
act today!

ACTION:  It is crucial that we tell the House leadership and Rep.
Sensenbrenner that H.R. 800 is the only acceptable version of the
lawsuit protection bill.  Please use the letter below to ask your
Representative to tell the House leadership and Rep. Sensenbrenner
that S. 397 is unacceptable gun control.

You can use the pre-written message below and send it as an e-mail by
visiting the GOA Legislative Action Center at
http://www.gunowners.org/activism.htm (where phone and fax numbers
are also available).


-----Pre-written letter-----

Dear Representative:

I am alarmed that the House is on the verge of passing gun control in
the name of protecting the gun industry.  The House should ditch S.
397 and use its own bill, H.R. 800, instead.

S. 397 is gun control pure and simple. The trigger lock provision is
no different from the requirement years ago that seat belts "just be
in cars."  We all know what happened later, however.  Once the belts
were in, it became a punishable offense not to use them.

Anti-gun leaders are just waiting to do the same thing with my
firearms.  First, S. 397 will require them to be sold with all
handguns, then at a future date, it will become a crime for me to
have immediate access to my firearm for self-defense.  But please
understand that if I am forced to have a trigger lock on my guns,
then they will be unusable during a moment of crisis.

Why should American citizens be asked to submit to anti-gun
amendments so that gun manufacturers can get special privileges?  I
want Congress to help gun manufacturers, but not at the expense of
individual gun rights!

Please tell the Speaker and the Majority Leader of the House that S.
397 is unacceptable to gun owners.  Instead, send H.R. 800 to the
Senate or tack it on as an amendment to some "must pass" legislation.

Also, please give Rep. Sensenbrenner the same message.  S. 397 is gun
control, and H.R. 800 is the only acceptable way to provide relief to
the gun industry from predatory lawyers.

Sincerely,

Gun Confiscations in New Orleans

GOA has received reports that the confiscation of legally-owned
firearms has commenced in New Orleans.  In addition to denouncing
this in the press, GOA will also be looking to draft legislation at
both the state and federal level to preclude authorities from
imposing ANY firearms restrictions during emergency response
activities.

This is expected to be a lengthy and arduous process.  If you haven't
joined GOA yet, please consider going to
http://www.gunowners.org/ordergoamem.htm and doing so to help in this
endeavor.
