Harry Reid to Take One Last Shot at the Second Amendment in the Lame Duck Session Share on Facebook Share on twitter Share on email More Sharing Services About April 15, millions of Americans will realize (perhaps for the first time) that they have been assessed a fine of hundreds of dollars for not complying with the anti-gun ObamaCare law. Gun owners despise this law because of concerns that a national health database could be used by federal bureaucrats to disarm law-abiding Americans, in the same way that more than 175,000 military veterans have already been disarmed. But this April 15 will hit millions of additional Americans in the pocketbook. At that time, Republicans will want a legislative vehicle (such as a “Continuing Resolution”) to block IRS enforcement of this wildly unpopular mandate. But, if Congress gives Obama a carte blanche through September 30, this will not be an option. Before the new Congress is sworn in -- this coming January -- the Republicans are still in the minority in Harry Reid’s Senate. Thus, the most effective course of action would be to convince House members -- and especially Speaker John Boehner -- to refuse making any long-term deals on the CR. This will give the new, pro-gun members of Congress who arrive in January a stronger hand in using the CR to protect gun rights. cqrcengage/gunowners/app/write-a-letter?1&engagementId=68913&ep=AAAAC2Flc0NpcGhlcjAxPdtsgPVV6t_sYFAGxwZE2rOfOKU8Ba77qm2N6Mp900dDduw9iqdRHhBrQPQHcgs1kGYkUaqiA9z7jAaM79CNTJTijlvLzHKc8fNYTqHqvr4&lp=0
