Dear Violence Policy Center Action Network Member:
Please contact President Bush at http://action.vpc.org/ctt.asp?u=2958024&l=68484 and urge him to use his executive power to ban the import of all foreign-made assault rifles!
This past Sunday, an SKS assault rifle was used to kill six hunters and wound two others in Wisconsin. The SKS is the "rifle model most frequently encountered by law enforcement officers," according to a 2002 report by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). It has claimed at least six police lives this year alone.
As detailed in our press release issued yesterday -- http://action.vpc.org/ctt.asp?u=2958024&l=68485 -- and covered by today's New York Times, George W. Bush could use the Administration's executive authority over firearm imports to fully ban the import of all foreign-made assault rifles like the SKS and AK-47. Unlike the recently expired assault weapons ban, such an action would not require Congressional approval. Although the President's father, former-President George H.W. Bush, and former-President William J. Clinton stopped the import of hundreds of thousands of assault weapons by using their executive authority under firearms import and trade laws, the current Bush Administration has specifically authorized the importation of SKS assault rifles from both Yugoslavia and Albania.
Please pass this e-mail along to others concerned about gun violence and urge them to join the VPC's Action Network at http://action.vpc.org/ctt.asp?u=2958024&l=68486.
Thank you, as always, for your efforts to stop gun violence.
Well that didn't take them long to start the ball rolling , Ray
