Dear
Kathryn,


Yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelming passed
legislation (S. 397) to give sweeping legal immunity to greedy gun
corporations and reckless gun dealers, essentially placing the
entire gun industry beyond the bounds of civil liability law.


This tragic capitulation to the special interest gun lobby is yet
another unbelievable example of how much power the NRA wields in the
halls of Congress.


Though the White House has stated its support for the bill, we
must let the President know that the NRA does not speak for
the majority of Americans.


CALL PRESIDENT BUSH TODAY: (202)
456-1414
Tell Him to "Veto S. 397."


As the New York Times said earlier
this week, "President Bush talked favorably about the assault
weapons ban as a candidate, but was notoriously mute when the
Republican Congress let the ban expire last year. Surely he would
not compound the nation's gun scourge by signing the immunity bill."


If the President does turn his back on gun violence victims and
signs the bill, the Brady Legal Action Project is ready to attack
the new law's constitutionality.
