While I agree with 100 of what it says I also think that letter is way too long. I doubt any senator/Congressman or even their aide is going to wade thru all that. Here is the letter I sent to everyone I could find an email for. Feel free to use any/all of it if you choose but PLEASE, write them:

(recipient):

I share the nationwide grief of the Newtown school murders. It is indeed a terrible tragedy and was made even more so by what should have been a joyous time of year.

However, I do not support any proposed ban on Assault Weapons or high capacity magazines such as that being proposed by Sen. Dianne Feinstein. I am not by any measure a ‘gun nut’. I do not own any firearms. However, due to the anti-gun hysteria caused by this tragedy for the first time in my life feel compelled to write my representatives in Washington about this upcoming legislation.

I am sure you must comprehend that in reality banning some particular kind of firearm or some capacity of magazine will accomplish nothing in preventing rage induced mass murders. A man armed with any type of weapon can kill as long as he has the desire and an innocent, unarmed group to prey upon.

As an American, resident of (State) and a veteran I would rather err on the side of liberty and rights guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment and not on the side of restrictions and laws.

Instead, I would like to see policy changes that enable access to affordable mental health services, Federal assistance for local firearms safety training for young adults and probably most importantly, ask ourselves the difficult societal question of why the U.S. in particular is so afflicted as to regularly lead the world in rage related murders and specifically address those issues instead.

Respectfully,
(signed)

There’s an old saying that goes “Never argue with a pig; you both get dirty and the pig likes it.” Ya’ll need to remember that politicians are mainly lawyers or at the least think they are. Whats for sure is they like to talk. They have managed over the last 100 years to talk ya’ll out of a lot of your property and rights. That letter up there is talk. The thing they have used against ya’ll for a very long time now. Until ya’ll put a boot up their ass you’re not going to get their attention. Asking them for your rights tells them they are in charge of your rights. That they control your rights. Ya’ll are free men….act like it. You don’t ask them, you tell them. Hell No! Until you’re ready to die for freedom you don’t deserve freedom. Your forefathers are watching you. Enough talk.

What we need is more laws for the mentally ill we have plenty of gun laws. The shooter was denied 5 times from buying a gun that’s why he stole them. Why are schools allowed to put thousands of children on these drugs. Better than 80% of these school shootings the kids were on these drugs. Why is that not the issue. The Aurora shooter was on them he also passed up several theatres to choose one that did not allow conceal carry. You don’t hear that in the liberal media. This is a communist plot to take our rights away nothing more. They don’t care about the children, they are using this for their agenda. Why does Obama’s kids go to a school with 11 armed guards if its so ridiculous of an idea that we put armed guards in schools. Why are people allowed to just walk into schools anyway. You cant just walk into a court house. They have metal detectors and armed guards so why don’t schools’ Im 60 yrs old when I went to school you couldn’t just walk in. Doors were locked the only way in was past the principals office and you had to check in. You could go out but you couldn’t come in. Guns are not the issue try common sense.

Please do a little research… “well regulated” historically in the context of the time period it was written means ‘well equipped’

If you will check the meaning of “a well regulated militia” historically, it DOES NOT have anything to do with control, period. It’s original meaning meant a well functioning or well equipped militia. Thus the “shall not be infringed” was added to the second amendment. You may argue with this, but it is historical fact. Oh, by the way, all citizens had military style weapons in the beginning of our republic. Ever shoot a .50 or .54 calibe black powder rifle? Very powerful, let me assure you!

Some points on 2A. The effect of controlling the availability of guns or more correctly what the real goal is to BAN guns would be a direct infringement on the ability for a citizens militia to formed in need as they would not posses the arms nor the the means for training which was expected of the citizens of then and now to have.

This is why that is a right that is to not be abridged.

When there are more than 20,000 laws already that cover guns They sure that one more will be the right one this time. I for one do not believe that is true.

The second amendment clearly allows for gun control, hence “well regulated”.

And Dennis, current proposals aren’t to “change the second amendment”, they’re to curb the availability of specific types of guns and limit the ability for some people (felons and the mentally ill) to acquire them, within the confines of what’s allowed by the second amendment.

The U.S. is not a democracy. Greece is a democracy. We are a Republic, as is clearly stated in our pledge of allegiance. I like this letter, but I will change the paragraph with democracy in it. You might want to edit that also as most people won’t catch that mistake. Thanks for putting this letter out there, I’ll stand with you.

I am a Veteran of Vietnam, and it is an insult to me that someone wants to change our 2nd amendment the right to bear arms. People who are elected to office it is their job to help enforce our rights, not change them for their rights. People in office are asking for a cival war, if they try to change our constitution.
