This is what I sent - I do not expect a response:
I was directed to your web-site press release regarding the expiration of the assault weapons ban. I am curious as to your description of the weapons being "fully-automatic". To me and the general public, that means "machine gun". (i.e. pull the trigger once, hold it down, and the gun fires multiple bullets). As a congress woman, I would expect that you know that fully automatic weapons are restricted by other federal legislation, and have been for many years. The assault weapons ban only deals with semi-automatic weapons that fire one bullet per each pull of the trigger. The above only leads me to two conclusions: One, you are truly ignorant as to the current assault weapons ban, and the proposed extension - if this is the case, you should be embarrassed, and perhaps not comment on the subject. Or two, you are purposefully attempting to deceive the public - if this is the case, you should be ashamed and are not fit for public service. I would truly appreciate a meaningful response to this issue so that I may better understand the situation. The email address I provided is valid. Thank you.
