Template, by popular request

Since I'm encouraging EVERYONE to write their Senators in regards to any proposed anti-gun law, I'm now including a template.


Senator –

I have recently read the available portions of the proposed gun ban that Sen. Feinstein is proposing, it is without a doubt the most horrible piece of legislation this Congress has ever considered. This proposed action makes my 2nd Amendment rights nearly impossible to attain. I am vehemently against this! This law would do absolutely NOTHING to prevent Sandy Hook, just as the 1994 Act did NOTHING to stop Columbine.

As I flip through Sen. Feinstein’s proposed bill on her website, I find that she is basically after every single semi-automatic firearm produced. That is absurd and a useless proposal. Restricting legal gun owners does NOTHING for public safety. In New York, which has some of the strongest gun laws in the Nation, guns killed over 1335 people. Please explain this if Congress believes this legislation works? It doesn’t. The fact of the matter is that legal citizens carrying firearms are less likely to kill a person than one is to get hit by lightening. This is again, absurd.

I am in 100% opposition to this type of legislation. I wish Senators, such as Sen. Feinstein, would spend more time focusing on the 9th Amendment as they do the 2nd.

According to the FBI in 2011 less than 0.00005% of Americans were killed by firearms, in fact more are killed by vehicles and there are over 300 million legal guns in the United States; less than 13,000 people were killed by guns in 2011 out of over 310,000,000 people.  I’m sure we could focus resources in better areas such as law enforcement of current laws! In Sandy Hook, the murder broke over 43 laws – do you honestly believe another ‘law’ would have done a thing?

And since politicians seem bent on looking towards Europe for direction, Britain had just fewer than 700 murders in 2011; in the United States fists alone killed over 720 people. Please, spend your time representing YOUR state and not your party!

Last year 12,000 women died from binge drinking, 31% of all automobile accident deaths were alcohol related, 37,000 people died by overdosing on prescription drugs, suicides outnumbered all handgun homicides – I haven’t seen you take one moment to discuss these issues in Congress. Why don’t you take a moment away from attempting to strip rights of Citizens to focus on the real issues in the United States?

This is not a PASS IT AND FIND OUT LATER WHAT IT CONTAINED issue!

Sincerely,

Fox News or CNN?

Ah, Fox and CNN. Where to start. Each one has its own bias. I was, for a very very long time an avid CNN viewer, literally the TV would be on CNN when I got home from work and stay there. Until the 2008 elections. I could not believe how much CNN backed the Democratic party. Almost to a point of annoyance. For every on RNC member on a panel there would be 2 DNC, usually one black man and one woman. The RNC person was almost always a white male. What I couldn't believe was the entire lack of respect for the opposing candidates on the Republican side. Now before you go "damn right-wing Republican" understand these FACTS: - Member of the Democratic Party - Libertarian - NRA Life Member What does that equal? Me. Not a single word up there said Republican. In fact, I've never voted for a presidential republican candidate. Maybe my lack of line loyalty allows me to have an open mind where others seen inherently sheltered. I have very strict guidelines for leaders; 1) be hon...
