Long ago, they stopped showing streakers and such, during live sporting events for fear of encouraging others to do the same. Why won't the LSM draw the same connections to their ridiculous coverage of mass killers??
Here's the response I got from my Congressman. Obviously, directing my concerns over gun control to my Senators would be useless...
"Dear Mr. xxxxxxx:
Thank you for writing about gun control.
Laws that aim to restrict or eliminate the ownership of firearms are often justified by arguing that we need to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. The problem is criminals and madmen don't obey them; only honest citizens do.
Gun control laws end up producing a society in which decent people are helpless and defenseless and a gunman can kill scores of people because nobody is there to stop him.
It may be prudent for Congress to consider proposals to ensure that individuals purchasing weapons are, in fact, law-abiding citizens and competent to own a weapon. It may also be appropriate for states and localities to consider requiring licensing for gun owners who wish to carry their weapons in public.
However, such measures will not earn my support if they infringe on the inalienable right of individuals to own and defend themselves with a firearm.
You will find a copy of my speech in which I outline my views on this subject here.
Thank you again for writing.
Sincerely, Tom (McClintock)
I have to say that I am happy with the response and thanked him for it. I also read his speech from '91 and was impressed with it, as well.(picked up a tagline from it, too!!)
I picked a good part of the State of California to live in though I pray things change before the Cultural Marxists totally destroy what should be the best state in the Union to live!!
