Guys, I received this from the VCDL and thought I should pass it on!  I would strongly suggest you contact your senators as well!  I've done my part and if you live in Virginia the links to our senators are included below.

SPREAD FAR AND WIDE:

Mayor "I bought my last election" Bloomberg of New
York is now pushing hard for Congress to destroy gun shows across the
country.

Just in case you think the threat isn't serious, here is what is
in store for America if the Mayor gets his way in Congress:

* 
Details of the sale, such as the type of gun, the SERIAL NUMBER, and any
other information the Attorney General may want must be provided for guns
sold by private sellers

*  Any person selling a gun, be it just walking
around with a gun, or having purchased a table to sell a gun, must be
registered with the gun show AT LEAST 30 DAYS BEFORE the show and the gun
show must provide PERSONAL INFORMATION about each private seller to the
Attorney General

*  Private sellers must show photo ID to the gun
show operator and sign a log book with personal information

*  The
feds will now have TRUE GUN REGISTRATION information in a database -
GOODBYE FREEDOM

*  If you make a mistake in all of this, you can get up
to FIVE YEARS in prison.  The gun show operator also can be put in prison
for paperwork mistakes

*  Gun show operators will have to register
with the U.S. Attorney General

*  The Attorney General can make up
regulations at will for controlling gun show operators

*  The
Attorney General can charge a fee, no limit set, for a gun show operator
license

*  Gun shows must get permission from the Attorney General 30
days in advance of any show to be able to have a show

*  All sales
must go the the National Instant Check System

A barrage of ads and
commercials is starting immediately, attempting to push Congress to pass
this legislation!

The full bill can be seen here:

Senators
Warner and Webb are coming under pressure to support the gun control
measure by the usual suspects.  It is CRITICAL that they hear from us
NOW!

ACTION ITEM!

We need to contact Senators Webb and Warner and urge them
NOT to support the destruction of our gun rights and must do so
NOW!

Suggested message to both Warner
and Webb:

There is NO gun show loophole and I urge you NOT to support
any further infringements on my right to buy, sell and own firearms.   The bills under consideration, HR2324 and S843, will DESTROY gun shows and will also implement the registration of firearms.  History, including here in America, has shown that registration is followed by 

confiscation -  none of which can be tolerated.

Criminals get their
guns either by stealing them or through straw purchases - neither of which
can be stopped by background checks.  A study done for the U.S. Department
of Justice (Firearms Use by Offenders) in 2006 found that only 0.7% of guns
used in crime come from gun shows.

Make no mistake - these bills are
not about reducing crime, but they are about destroying a major part of our
right to keep and bear arms.

These bills cannot be "fixed up" to be made
acceptable - they can only be defeated.

Please let me know how you
are going to vote on these bills.
