Sample Letter to Representatives on Gun Ban Debate

[M]

Please send this out to your Representatives and try and get your friends to do the same.

Senator or Congressman,

Why have you bought into the lie that more 'draconian restrictions', and more 'gun control', will lessen gun violence and make the populace safer? That mindset flies in the face of rational reasoning, and also in the face of your own Governmental compiled data since 1970 when Gun restrictions have shown a significant drop in those crimes where the laws have been eased. Statistics from the FBI and Justice Department have shown the correlation between a freely armed civilian populace and a significantly lower gun crime, and violent crime rate. If you want to do something to protect the public as you profess you do, end the gun free zones, since those zones are where the majority of gun crimes takes place. 

 

 Use your intelligence and common sense to see the Sandy Hook incident, the Colorado Theater incident, the Virginia Tech incident, the Columbine incident, all have one thing in common; The Gun Free Status, which is directly attributable to the Progressive Democratic Agenda to severely restrict private carry of guns, by law abiding citizens.   Why is that?   Why don't you trust the Law Abiding Public?    Attack the Criminals that are the cause of crime, by enforcing the many many laws already on the books. Stop attacking the law abiding citizens for wanting to exercise their God Given Right to Self Protection. To do other than that, suggests a nefarious hidden agenda on the part of the Progressive Democrats, to eliminate the Second Amendment Protections, and that in turn, would give rise to a major increase in the violence and gun crimes, by the very criminals who ignore the law anyways.

 

 If you wish to persist in your ideas about the merits of gun control and banning, please, try to convince me that I am the one who is wrong in my thought processes instead of you. Tell me (sir or madame), if you can; If severe restrictions and draconian control facilitate lower gun crimes, and Illinois ( Chicago being the strictest) has the most draconian ones on record, and their laws in Chicago are comparable with with ones in New York ( NYC)  and Connecticut ( Sandy Hook), WHY IS; Chicago, NYC, and recently Sandy Hook so dangerous for unarmed innocent citizens? 

 

 If Gun Free zones create lower shooting incidents and lower violent crime rates, why do the majority if those incidents, and incidentally, the incidents with the highest body counts, happen primarily in legislated Gun Free Zones? Only the Law Abiding Citizen will comply with the Gun free Zones, and thus expose themselves to a much higher threat level from the criminal element and mentally deranged, who have historically proven consistently through their actions, they ignore all the laws anyway.

 

 You say you are for the Assault Weapon (( misnamed since true assault weapons are select fire automatics)), and Clip Capacity Bans, but can you tell me why the previous 10 year long Assault Weapon and Clip Capacity Ban had absolutely no impact on gun crime over the entire ten (10) year period they were on the books? That statement is a fact, and proven beyond a shadow of a doubt by what the Government's own Statistics irrefutably show?  (Sir or Madame), you know why, but you refuse to admit the Second Amendment was put into the Bill of rights because the Founding Fathers deemed it necessary for the public to be able and capable of protecting themselves, resisting any possible invasion, and also for resisting an oppressive government, should that ever become necessary. You also know beyond peradventure, that the current Political rhetoric about Hunting and Sport shooting are not the reasons for the Second Amendment either. Obey the Second Amendment as Constitutional Law requires you to do, and remember you took an Oath of Office to uphold it. Stop infringing on Americans Constitutional Rights at the Federal Level. 

 

The proposed set of restrictions and bans places an unfair burden on all minorities and women. Maybe an Amicus Curiae brief outlining how it unfairly impacts them on the subject would influence you if it were filed in federal court to allege that the proposed bill is deliberately Racist in Nature, and places an unreasonable burden on all minorities in it's effect, and/or that it does not follow the "Rule of Law" because of the unfair burden placed on minorities, women in general, especially minority women, by preventing them from being able to protect themselves, combined with the fact that it deliberately is not equally applied to American Citizens, because government officials and a few select others are exempt from it's jurisdiction.

 

 I intend to bring these things up in Court should the bill pass. If you choose to hide behind the wording of the Second Amendment citing Militia, you should know that Congress defined the term over 100 years ago as the Organized and Unorganized Militia with the Organized Militia being the Army and National Guard, and the unorganized Militia as the rest of American Citizens.
