So,it looks like gun control legislation will be heading to Congress. It's not a done deal. I know even Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has to be careful about supporting gun control. He can easily loose his seat in pro gun Nevada. My question: How many of you will be contacting your Representative and Senator? How many of you will just take your chances that legislation will die in Congressional deadlock?

Already doing it. And am also encouraging gun-owning friends and acquaintances to join an organized group that supports the 2nd Amendment.
Sorry to say, but even a couple of my extended family members don't support (through membership) any pro-2nd Amendment group.
The latest (and lamest) excuse one of my brother-in-laws gave me why he is not a member was this: "I'm not going to join because then they will have me on a list to be watched." This same fellow has been buying AR parts over the internet for several years and building his own rifles with assembled parts! I told him that joining a club at this point will not get you on any list that you are not already on!
The real reasons many gun owners don't join pro-2nd Amendment groups is that they don't take our rights seriously or think these rights can be jeopordized by politics, and that they are just too darn cheap to join. These people have been enjoying a free ride for long enough.
If our 2nd Amendment Rights are lost, the rest of our rights may soon follow. It's time to get very serious about protecting our freedom. Apathy eventually equals oppression. New York state, anyone?

Is anyone else amazed that none of these proponents of a ban on high capacity magazines have no concept of the In-battery reload. They cling to the idea that an unarmed school employee can jump the shooter during a magazine change. Now take the century old 1911 with it's Cuomo-approved 7-rd. mag. I load my mag and rack one into the chamber, then fire six and reload with a fresh mag with one still in the chamber that can be fired if needed during the second of time it takes to reload a fresh mag. The gun or how many rounds it is loaded with is not the problem. Keeping the violent village idiot in the basement wondering when he will snap is the problem. Advertising schools as gun-free zones is the problem. The war on drugs hasn't kept drugs off the streets and a war on guns will not keep guns out of the hands of crazies and criminals.

Legislation can only "originate" in Congress. Check your Constitution. No president has ever introduced a piece of legislation in Congress. Unless he is invited, a president cannot even attend a Congressional session (exception being the State of the Union Address which may technically be by invitation anyway).

The president sends a bill to congress in the sense that he proposes legislation to be formally introduced by a member of congress, usually chosen from his own party.
The jobs bill (American Jobs Act of 2011) was sent to congress by Pres. Obama in September of last year.
We're dealing with semantics here.

In fact, the president just this day called on congress to require universal background checks for all gun purchases, and a restoration of the Clinton ban on "assault rifles" and high-capacity magazines.
Congressional staffers will be assigned to perform the actual legislative draftsmanship.
