Dear legislator,
The recent revelations from Waco in the past couple of weeks have once again reminded the American public of one elementary truth: the government cannot always be trusted.
The very FBI that conducts background checks on law-abiding gun owners -- and swears it is deleting these names -- is the same FBI that has been caught telling lie after lie about Waco.
From ABC's Nightline to The Washington Post to other media across the nation, the FBI's credibility has been severely damaged by the latest admissions that pyrotechnic rounds were fired at Waco and that Delta forces were present as well. The FBI confessed to both of these facts recently after having denied them for many years.
This agency has had a tough time telling the truth. Am I supposed to believe the FBI is really destroying the information on gun owners that is provided to them through the instant registration check?
I can't believe that in light of the FBI's perfidy, the Congress is actually considering giving that agency more authority over gun owners!
I urge you to oppose any juvenile crime bill that comes out of the conference committee giving the FBI the power to conduct instant registration checks on buyers at gun shows.
Rather than give the FBI more control over decent Americans, we should be controlling the FBI.
Please support government control, not gun control. Please oppose all the gun control in S. 254. Thank you.
Sincerely,
YOUR SIGNATURE
