OFF ALERT 01.24.13

Feinstein Gun Ban Announced.

Joe Biden Gives a Lesson On Proper Gun To Use In Self Defense.
_____________________________________________________________

Dear Friend,

Forgive the length of this alert but there is a lot to talk about.

As you know, today Diane Feinstein announced her new gun ban legislation. There are no surprises here. She wants to ban virtually everything. This is something she has made no secret of in the past.

Her press conference today consisted of the all the same lies she and other haters of liberty have been telling for years. Almost nothing said today was even close to the truth, but let’s face it, that’s what we were expecting. (It’s interesting to note that Obama has murdered far more children, including a least 2 American children, with Predator Drones, with NO congressional oversight, than were murdered at Sandy Hook. )

Also today, on a web conference held by the White House, Joe Biden suggested that the single best defensive firearm is a double barreled shotgun. This would, of course, explain their popularity with law enforcement and the military.

The National Coalition to Stop the Gun Ban (of which OFF is a member) issued a response to the proposed ban. Gary Marbut of the Montana State Shooting Association has posted a version of it here: http://progunleaders.org/Congress/

The formatting is a bit off, but you can see the message until we get it up on our website.

As you may have noticed, we have totally rebuilt OFF’s website. While there may be a few bugs to work out (let us know if you see any) we think it will be a much better online experience for anyone using the site. This transition was in the works long before the fertilizer hit the ventilator and was not a quick transition. We probably would not have chosen to make a change of this magnitude had we known what was about to happen in the world of gun rights, but we think in the long run this will be a benefit to all of us.

OFF usually sends out one “renewal letter” a year asking folks to renew their commitment to gun rights. In the past we have typically done this at the end of the year or shortly after New Years. If you are a member of OFF you may have noticed you did not receive that letter this year. You can imagine why. We have had numerous members writing to find out if their membership was “current.” If you believe what we are doing is worthy of your support, of course we would be pleased if you would make a donation, but under the circumstances we will most likely not be sending out a renewal letter soon. There simply has not been time.

Since the Clackamas Town Center shooting and the atrocity at Sandy Hook, we have been truly overwhelmed by new members and support from old friends. We have added staff to respond to the amazing number of people pledging help.

If you are a new joiner, I want to thank you for becoming part of this fight, but as you might guess, we have had such enormous growth over the last month and a half that we are working overtime to respond to contributors and new members and frankly we are running a bit behind. It has always been our policy to respond to all communications, but especially to new joiners and contributors, immediately. We have not been able to do that recently.

If you recently joined and are due a patch or some other gift from us, please rest assured they will be sent as soon as possible. Because of the unexpected surge of membership there are things (like patches) we just flat ran out of. Everything is on order and it will be sent to you as soon as we get it. We are grateful for your patience.

We want to remind you that another pro-gun rally will be held at the Capitol on February 8th at 10 am. If you were at the last one, you know what a success it was. It would be great to make this one even bigger.

We’d also like to acknowledge all the people who have given 100% in this battle and done more than we could have ever imagined to help OFF grow.

Northwest Armory in Milwaukie, OR has been amazing, not only in their personal support but in their efforts to sign up new members for OFF.

Our friends at MK Tactical, Threat Dynamics and Blackstone FirearmsTraining have all reached out to their friends and encouraged them to become part of OFF and their help has been invaluable.

Talk show hosts Bill Meyer (KMED in Medford) Lars Larson (KXL Portland), and Bill Post (KYKN Salem) have been tireless supporters of both the Second Amendment and Oregon Firearms Federation and we cannot thank them enough.

This is going to be a very challenging few months ahead. We we will be lied to and about. We will be vilified and attacked. But this battle is too important to stand on the sidelines. I look forward to working side by side with you as we defeat any new assaults on liberty.

Many thanks,

Kevin Starrett
