Coburn Amendments
« on: February 05, 2010, 11:26:49 AM »
Today I read on Free Republic that Rep. Tom Coburn is planning to start attaching pro 2nd amendment amendments to most important Democratic legislation this year.

Does anyone know what they are?

I was sent something in the mail from a group with his name on it, with something about this. I didn't follow up.

There might have even been a mention of this a few weeks ago here at DRTV.
Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

I heard passing mention that he wanted to attach pro 2A legislation to every thing the Dums want to pass but no specifics.

Well, if it can be done, it is a win-win situation.

If the legislation was gonna pass, at least the 2A gets a boost from it now.

And the attached 2A legislation might make the Dems choke on it and not pass anything.

There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster
