Remove Feinstein's S.1034 (rider to S.659) that will permanently repeal the sunset on the AWB
Posted 2/4/2004 from Thomas.Gov  
"The U.S. Senate will soon vote on S.659, a bill that will 'outlaw lawsuits against lawful firearms manufacturers.' This bill will be voted on in one month. Most gun owners consider this bill to be a GOOD thing, but...

Sen. Diane Finesteine put a 'rider' on this bill. The rider number is S.1034.

Its purpose is to permanently repeal the sunset date on the assault weapons ban, to ban the importation of large capacity ammunition feeding devices, and for other purposes.

So what does this mean?

If we do nothing and the Senate passes this bill next month, then it's over. Bush will sign it and there will be no sunset of the AW ban.

A vote on this issue in the Senate would be very close, but could go either way. We need every single vote we can get. Please call both of your Senators, urging them to oppose S.1034.

Never called your senators before? Now's a good time to call them. Call (202) 224-2315 and (202) 224-3353. Tell the aides this:

'The Senate will soon be voting on S.659 - a bill that will outlaw lawsuits against lawful firearms manufacturers. Senator Diane Feinstein put a rider on this bill. The rider number is S.1034. This rider MUST be removed from S.659.'"
