U.S. Senate Begins Debate on S. 397

Tuesday, July 26, 2005

Final Vote On S. 397 Expected This Week!
Stop Reckless Lawsuits Today!

On Tuesday, July 26, the U.S. Senate invoked cloture on the motion to proceed to S. 397, "The Protection of Lawful Commerce In Arms Act."  S. 397 will now be debated on the Senate floor over the next few days.

Now is your final chance to contact your U.S. Senators and urge them to pass S. 397 without any anti-gun amendments!

Some of the possible anti-gun amendments expected to be offered to S. 397 include:

  • .50 caliber rifle bans
  • Semi-auto bans
  • Bans on gun shows
  • Amendments to gut the provisions of the bill

Please help us finish the job in the U.S. Senate by contacting your U.S. Senators IMMEDIATELY and urging them to support S. 397 without any anti-gun amendments.  Be sure to tell your Senators that you consider any votes for any anti-gun amendments as a vote against S. 397 itself.

For more complete information on S. 397, and to contact your U.S. Senators, please go to http://www.nraila.org/stoprecklesslawsuits.aspx. You may also call your U.S. Senators at (202) 224-3121 or click here to send email.  Please IMMEDIATELY share this information with everyone you know who supports the Second Amendment!
