He's already heard from me on multiple occasions after the bullshit statement he put out the other day about toughening background checks and other bullshit

Quoted:
He posted on Facebook a few days back that he supported those stupid red flag laws

Quoted:

Doesn't surprise me.  SEN Young does too and takes pride for his rule in implementing that law in Indiana.  I don't know how we came up with two weaklings from our great state.

Quoted:
I have come to the inescapable conclusion that there really are no politicians that are on our side when it comes to firearms.

Just got back. Based on what I heard about the Anderson event, I expected to see a troop of commies (troop in the monkeys sense), but there weren't many.

There was one lady who whispered something to the staffer about her ideas of how red flag laws should work. Left like a snake after seeing our large family. There was also an old piece of shit who wanted to regulate ammunition because 2A only covers guns. The staffer mostly ignored him, but wanted to know more about our family. My wife, brother, and sister-in-law represented the pro-liberty contingent. I was there for almost an hour, but not much going on. Spent a lot of time talking with the staffer, who seemed to enjoy talking with us and sort ignored the old piece of shit. Obviously, not a measure of success, but it could have been worse. Numbers-wise, it was pathetic. We should have filled the whole library.

Thank you for contacting my office regarding Second Amendment protections to keep and bear arms. I appreciate hearing from you.

I am an avid hunter, a National Rifle Association member, and stand 100 percent in support of the Second Amendment. In the Senate, I will oppose any efforts to restrict the rights of law-abiding gun owners and will protect their ability to defend themselves and their families in life-threatening situations. Because of this, I have co-sponsored S. 69, the Constitutional Carry Reciprocity Act, S. 1506, a bill to permit those complying with state firearm laws to carry, and S. 351, the Gun Owners Registration Information Protection Act.

I am deeply troubled, though, by the recent shootings that took place in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio. Simply put, there is no place for the hate that motivated these attacks in our great country. Americans are collectively grieving the loss of our fellow citizens to senseless violence. My wife Maureen and I are praying for the victims and survivors of these horrific events.

I know that the federal government’s most fundamental responsibility is to keep citizens safe. As a United States Senator, public safety is therefore a top priority. Steps must be taken to ensure that the mentally ill and those who wish to do others harm are not able to legally purchase and possess firearms to commit violent acts.

Mass shootings and gun violence across the country create complex situations, and I believe that we need solutions to prevent those who only wish to do others harm from gaining access to dangerous weapons. First and foremost, I believe our existing laws need to be fully enforced. Second, I believe a meaningful legislative solution would include reforms to strengthen background checks, extreme risk protection orders and commonsense restrictions on modifications that allow legal firearms to function like fully automatic military style weapons. Lastly, we as Americans must take the time required to address and respond to the part of our culture that glorifies violence and instead empower communities to focus mental health services.

Any legislation that I support or vote for will have to be constructed in a way that protects law-abiding Americans’ access to their Second Amendment rights. As I consider any currently proposed legislation, I will keep your thoughts in mind.

Thank you for contacting me. It is an honor to serve as your U.S. Senator from Indiana. Please keep in touch with me on issues of concern to you. You can also follow me on Twitter or Facebook for real-time updates on my activities in the U.S. Senate. If I ever may be of service, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Mike Braun
U.S. Senator

That's the rational conclusion, but the optimist in me says that he's trying to be ambiguous until this dies off.
