GENERAL ASSEMBLY LEADERS!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n NCGA Leaders Drag Their Feet on Gun Bills <\/strong>
The clock is ticking and time is wasting on getting pro 2A bills passed.\u00a0 In the NC House and the NC Senate, we need committee hearings and floor votes for the important, marquee gun bills. Particularly because there is an approaching crossover deadline in the House, and Senate leaders also seem to be dragging their feet in an effort to sit back and let the House do all the heavy lifting. <\/p>\n Turn up the Heat<\/strong>
A couple of weeks ago, we let leadership know (and how?) that we expected them to use the veto-proof majority gun owners gave them to do the will of the voters on these bills, but it seems they have not felt quite enough heat. <\/p>\n Here\u2019s what we have on the table in the NC House and Senate:<\/p>\n NC House: <\/strong><\/u>
<\/span><\/p>\n\n- NC Constitutional Carry Act (H746)
<\/span><\/li>\n- Omnibus Gun Changes (H588)
<\/span><\/li>\n- Concealed Handgun Standardization Act (H438)
<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
NC Senate: <\/strong><\/u>
<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Online Paperless Pistol Permit Modernization (S503)<\/span><\/li>\n
- Educational Property Definition\/Firearms (S504)
<\/span><\/li>\n- Allow Concealed Carry on UNC & CC Campuses (S204)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Gun rights supporters sent these Representatives and Senators to Raleigh in the belief that they would live up to their campaign rhetoric. But any failure to move these pro-gun bills, such as constitutional carry, the omnibus bill, and others, will be recognized as a failure to follow through on that rhetoric. This would seriously call into question the majority party\u2019s dedication to gun rights. <\/p>\n Help Leadership See the Light<\/strong>
Below, see how you can easily help General Assembly leadership see the light. Let them know that we\u2019re all watching the clock and no excuses will be accepted.

<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The clock is ticking on this year\u2019s legislative session, and I am very disappointed to learn that several pro-Second Amendment bills are still languishing, and in danger of missing the crossover deadline.

<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nWith a veto-proof majority, there are absolutely no excuses for failing to advance gun rights in our state, and I insist that you, as your party\u2019s leader, make sure they are advanced. All eyes are on you, Speaker Moore. We need you to do whatever it takes to make sure these bills make the crossover deadline, and keep moving toward final passage.\u00a0 Failure to do so will seriously call into question your party\u2019s dedication to gun rights. <\/p>\n I will continue to monitor your actions on this matter through alerts from Grass Roots North Carolina.<\/p>\n Respectfully,<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n| <\/p>\n DELIVER THIS EMAIL MESSAGE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nTO ?SENATE LEADERS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n Copy\/Paste Email List<\/u>: <\/u><\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0 Phil.Berger@ncleg.net; Bill.Rabon@ncleg.net

\n\u00a0Dear Senator:<\/p>\n The clock is ticking on this year\u2019s legislative session, and I am very disappointed to learn that several pro-Second Amendment bills are still languishing, and in danger of being left behind during this session. These bill cannot wait, and it appears as though the Senate is waiting for the NC House to do the heavy lifting. This will not do. North Carolina gun voters, like me, expect you to pull through for us on these critical bills, NOW. And, as a leader, not a follower.\u00a0 <\/p>\n The bills I\u2019m referring to are as follows: <\/span><\/p>\n \n- Online Paperless Pistol Permit Modernization (S503)<\/span><\/li>\n
- Educational Property Definition\/Firearms\u00a0 (S504)<\/span><\/li>\n
- Allow Concealed Carry on UNC & CC Campuses (S204)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
With a veto-proof majority, there are absolutely no excuses for failing to improve gun rights in our state, and I insist that you, as your party\u2019s leader in the Senate, make sure they are advanced. As a senator in a leadership position, all eyes are on you. We need you to do whatever it takes to make sure these bills are moved toward final passage.\u00a0 Failure to do so will seriously call into question your party\u2019s dedication to gun rights. <\/span><\/p>\n I will continue to monitor your actions on this matter through alerts from Grass Roots North Carolina.<\/span><\/p>\n Respectfully,<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\n\n| <\/p>\n GRNC VICTORY IN SUMMERFIELD<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Thanks to all of the GRNC supporters who emailed and phoned the Summerfield, NC Town Councilors, we can proclaim victory! Also, a special thanks to the GRNC volunteers and supporters who attended the meeting on Tuesday. Several gun rights voters spoke against the anti-gun ordinances Summerfield was contemplating, and no one was there to speak for these proposed ordinances. <\/span><\/p>\n To read specifics about the Summerfield situation, click here. <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n GRNC is happy to announce that, pending an upcoming formality to make it official, the Summerfield Town Council has decided to remove the illegal \u201cno guns\u201d signs from their town\u2019s parks, after contemplating leaving them in place. Also, and just as importantly, the council has decided not to post against guns on town buildings, and other property after all (barring a couple minor exceptions). <\/span><\/p>\n Nice work everyone! Thanks to you, gun rights in North Carolina keep marching forward!<\/span> <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\n\n| VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n As you know, GRNC is an all volunteer<\/strong><\/em> force. As such, we are looking for volunteers in a couple of areas: <\/span><\/p>\n\n- WEB DEVELOPMENT <\/strong><\/span>
Experience in web development to include HTML, CSS & Java Scripting. If interested, contact GRNC President<\/em> using the following contact form: http:\/\/www.grnc.org\/contact<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n- ALERT WRITING <\/strong><\/span>
Solid writing skills, ability to translate legal, political, technical and firearms jargon into layman’s terms and make the public care about the issue. Ability to manipulate HTML style emails on the code level is a nice to have. If interested, please contact GRNC using this e-mail address: alert@grnc.org
<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIf you have these skills, you can help the Second Amendment fight by enhancing and expanding GRNC\u2019s presence, ensuring our message is received broadly in these modern times. <\/p>\nDon\u2019t let your talents go to waste, as you <\/strong><\/em>could be the difference between gun-rights advancements and gun-rights losses. <\/span><\/p>\n
