THE TRAYVON MARTIN EXPERIENCE COMING TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD? Stop the 'George Zimmerman Armed Vigilante Act' 22MAR12

THE nra wants to bring the Trayvon Martin experience to your neighborhood! Just imagine tens of thousands of george zimmermans in neighborhoods across the country, including yours! That is exactly what the US senate will allow if S 2188 and S 2213 are passed. Please click the link to e mail your Senators and tell them to vote no on these bills. 

Reject the George Zimmerman Armed Vigilante Act Stop Trayvon's killer, and more like him, from carrying loaded guns in your state.   Armed and dangerous people legally carrying loaded and hidden handguns in your neighborhood. "George Zimmermans" walking the streets of your community. That's the gun lobby's vision of America. But it's not ours. Just days after the Trayvon Martin tragedy, the gun lobby is working on Capitol Hill to nationalize Florida's dangerous and irresponsible laws. Help us stop this! E-mail your U.S. Senators today! "Reject the 'George Zimmerman Armed Vigilante Act'. Oppose S. 2188 and S. 2213." If your state has tougher, more sensible laws, that would prevent someone like Trayvon Martin's killer – who had an arrest record and a violent past – from getting a concealed carry permit, tough luck. These new bills would force your state to honor the concealed carry permits of other states, even states like Florida, with abhorrently low standards. Make no mistake, this is the vision of the gun lobby. Guns everywhere, in virtually anyone's hands. It is up to us, the American people, to flatly reject this vision and stop the George Zimmerman Armed Vigilante Act. Please take action today and after you've e-mailed, please also forward this message to your family and friends.

Your support makes this possible! Dear Craig, Last week the gun lobby lost big, and supporters of common sense gun laws won big. With help from Brady's Legal Action Project (LAP), courts ruled against gun lobby challenges to gun laws in three important cases: In Washington, D.C. a federal judge dismissed a gun lobby challenge to an Obama Administration rule requiring that gun dealers in the Southwest border states notify law enforcement of bulk sales of semi-automatic rifles, a key indicator of gun trafficking. The court agreed with an amicus brief filed by LAP contending that ATF had authority to enforce the rule. A federal judge upheld Los Angeles County’s strong concealed carry restrictions, agreeing with an amicus brief filed by LAP. This victory follows victories at the district court level in similar cases in Yolo County and San Diego County, in which LAP also filed amicus briefs. A federal judge upheld New Jersey’s strong laws limiting the public carry of handguns, throwing out the Second Amendment Foundation’s challenge. Echoing LAP’s amicus brief, the judge stated that "the Second Amendment does not include a general right to carry handguns outside the home." But the gun lobby wants to strike down these laws and will do everything in its power to fight back. We need your help to stop them. The gun lobby has already stated that it will appeal these defeats and our LAP lawyers are preparing to fight again. You know that we cannot match the gun lobby’s vast financial resources — but with your help we can continue to beat them in the courts. With your help we won these three cases. Please help us continue to defeat the gun lobby with a special gift today. It will make a huge difference to our efforts. Sincerely, Jonathan Lowy Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence
