The Compromise Amendments have been drawn up and the committee will vote on the final list on 14th July.<\/h3>\n<p>The prospects of a favorable vote that rejects most of the Commission proposals are good. The statements by MEPs during the debate on the amendments indicate majority support for our arguments.<\/p>\n<p>This has been achieved through careful discourse with the MEPsand we shall continue along that path. We draw your attention that no matter how upset you may be with the EU you must always retain a polite and civil attitude in your contacts with MEPs. Focus on the S&amp;D members as the more we win over the greater our chances of success.<\/p>\n<p>When you read our <a href=\"http:\/\/firearms-united.com\/2016\/06\/19\/vicky\/\" target=\"_blank\">article about the debate<\/a>, you will see that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>EPP, ECR, ALDE<\/strong> clearly support a totally watered down version of the Commission proposal<\/li>\n<li><strong>S&amp;D<\/strong> and the Greens are for more stringent measures.<\/li>\n<li><strong>EFDD and ENF<\/strong> support an outright rejection of the proposal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1>What can YOU do?<\/h1>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Step 1: Inform\u00a0your friends<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1000\" src=\"http:\/\/firearms-united.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/restrizioni-UE-europarlamento.jpg\" alt=\"restrizioni-UE-europarlamento\" width=\"350\" height=\"197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firearms-united.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/restrizioni-UE-europarlamento.jpg 1120w, https:\/\/www.firearms-united.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/restrizioni-UE-europarlamento-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.firearms-united.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/restrizioni-UE-europarlamento-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.firearms-united.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/restrizioni-UE-europarlamento-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.firearms-united.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/restrizioni-UE-europarlamento-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.firearms-united.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/restrizioni-UE-europarlamento-624x351.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/>The Commission and <a href=\"http:\/\/firearms-united.com\/2016\/06\/10\/996\/\" target=\"_blank\">the Council<\/a> want to ban most legally-held firearms and want to register millions of firearms that are currently free such as blank firing guns and deactivated firearms.<\/p>\n<p>They even <a href=\"http:\/\/data.consilium.europa.eu\/doc\/document\/ST-9841-2016-INIT\/en\/pdf\" target=\"_blank\">want to prohibit and destroy deactivated firearms and confiscate your semi automatics.<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.all4shooters.com\/en\/topics\/l\/law\/\">EN<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.all4shooters.com\/de\/Thema\/Index-w\/waffengesetz\/\">DE<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.all4shooters.com\/it\/argomenti\/l\/legge\/\">IT<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Step 2: Write to your politicians<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1114\" src=\"http:\/\/firearms-united.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/p10a.png\" alt=\"p10a\" width=\"350\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firearms-united.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/p10a.png 1033w, https:\/\/www.firearms-united.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/p10a-300x227.png 300w, https:\/\/www.firearms-united.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/p10a-768x581.png 768w, https:\/\/www.firearms-united.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/p10a-1024x774.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.firearms-united.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/p10a-600x454.png 600w, https:\/\/www.firearms-united.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/p10a-624x472.png 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/>Contact your national Government:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/firearms-united.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Institutional-Contacts.pdf\">Address List for Contacts<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Contact the Members of European Parliament: <a href=\"http:\/\/firearms-united.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Mailadresse-MEPs.xlsx\">Mail adresses of MEPs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Please remember to politely express your disappointment for the way the EU is treating you and\u00a0how you are losing faith in it.
