The gun registration scheme that you and I narrowly defeated last year is BACK.

The gun registration scheme that you and I narrowly defeated last year is BACK.  Right now, Barack Obama and his allies in Congress are devising every possible scheme to pass his so-called "universal background checks" plan. But background checks are NOT the real goal behind this effort. The Obama administration has clearly stated that once their plan is put into place, all law-abiding gun owners LIKE YOU must be forced to submit to mandatory "gun registration" to enforce the new law.  You read that right. GUN REGISTRATION. Not just for every gun you buy, but for every gun you already own! John, if Obama forces you to register your guns, how long do you think it will be before every firearm you own is banned and confiscated? This single legislative battle is the biggest fight that you and I will face in Congress this year. The outcome will decide the fate of our freedoms for the rest of our lives. So before you do anything else today, please sign this Official NRA-ILA Petition to Congress and tell them to vote NO on Obama's gun registration scheme.       I need you to stand and be counted with me and tens of thousands of your fellow patriots RIGHT NOW in front the U.S. House and Senate.  Every Representative and Senator needs to know that you're more defiant and more determined than ever to beat back Obama's gun registration plan and save your sacred Right to Keep and Bear Arms. REMEMBER: You and I won the first round of this fight and stopped Obama's gun registration bill last year by a dangerously slim margin of only five votes in the U.S. Senate. The second round of this fight has begun and we need to come out of our corner swinging hard RIGHT NOW. Demand that Congress vote NO on Obama's gun registration scheme by signing this petition today. And after you sign your petition, pleasemake a generous contribution to NRA-ILA. Whatever amount you can give, all I ask is that you be as generous as you can be at this critical time. Your signed petition represents one more powerful voice that our elected officials can't ignore.  And your generous contribution will give us the strength we need to ramp up our media campaign and national grassroots network…and WIN every last vital vote in Congress we desperately need to stop Obama's gun registration plan. Only NRA-ILA has the national reach and proven ability to win a fight this big. But we can't do it without your active involvement and strong support right now.  Thank you. Chris W.
