Well as already discussed, the left will be gearing up to get some more gun control laws on the books. I think it's time to remind some of our new representatives about their pro 2nd Amendment position during the campaigns. Here's a rough draft of what I've put together so far. I'll send it to my new congressman (who I have faith in); will probably send it to our new Senator (who I have little faith in), and will probably skip our senior Senator (who I have no faith in & who could give a flying poop what we think).
Dear Congressman Bucshon,
I am writing you concerning the tragic shooting in Arizona over the weekend & the resulting gun legislation the democrats are planning to pursue because of it. You ran your campaign on a pro 2nd Amendment stance - now is your time to prove you were being honest. I think most of us can agree that a truly deranged person with real psychotic problems should not be able to legally possess a handgun. The circumstances that would constitute a mental disorder need to be very clear & precise, and not open to interpretation. For the record, a veteran who wakes up in the middle of the night from a bad dream after having returned from serving in a combat zone would not constitute a mental disorder/sickness.
Some of the other proposals I’ve heard include outlawing high capacity magazines and no handguns within 1000 feet of a federal official. I strongly urge you to vote against any kind of legislation along these lines that may be proposed. My life and that of my family is not any less important to us just because we might be within 1000 feet of a federal politician. In fact, the shooting in Arizona proves that a shooting can take place within just a few feet of a federal official, and as a law abiding citizen, I should absolutely have the right to protect myself & my loved ones should that scenario play out in my presence.
Remember sir that you promised to limit government intrusion into our lives and enhance your constituents’ personal freedoms. Should you fail to do so, you can just as easily be swept out of office in two years as you were swept in.
Sincerely,
