Senator Lee to Offer Amendment Tonight to Ban Most Gun Control in the Senate

We realize it’s short notice, but we wanted to alert you that, later tonight, Senator Mike Lee of Utah intends to offer an amendment to the budget resolution that would prohibit any gun control legislation which does not have a 2/3 vote in the Senate.

We know, we know. We would prefer to prohibit any and all gun control, even if it had 100 votes.

But if the Lee amendment is passed, the practical effect will be that gun control can never again pass the Senate.

Given the Armageddon-like fight which we are now engaged in in the Senate, achieving a gun-control peace for the rest of our lifetimes would be a good thing.

ACTION: Contact your Senators. Ask them to vote for the Lee amendment which would require a 2/3 vote for the Senate to impose any gun control.

Hmmm which pair do I send it too...  Not registered to vote yet.   I don't know if I will be putting down roots or not.

It appears that Senator Lee's amendment hasn't made it to THOMAS yet.  During the hunt for it, however, I found at least five other pro-2A amendments that have already been offered to S.CON.RES.8 (congressional budget):

SA 335 (Vitter) - prohibit funding for international organizations that support registration/taxation of firearms
SA 355 (Begich, Boozman, Rubio) - protect the right to bear arms at water resources development projects
SA 360 (Inhofe) - uphold 2A rights and prohibit registry
SA 452 (Paul) - against legislation relating to a gun ban treaty
SA 475 (Heller) - uphold 2A rights and prohibit registry
