This is a letter I composed and have sent to my State and Federal elected officials, Majority and minority Leaders of the Senate and House of Representatives and yes our Dictator in Chief Zero.
Please feel free to taylor it it your specific needs and email,snail mail to all your elected officials. "As a citizen of Louisiana I would like it to be known that I am a firm supporter of the Second Amendment of the Constitution of The United States of America. I believe The Second Amendment is first and foremost, the method by which citizens can protect and defend their families, themselves, and their property against government oppression and tyranny. This was made abundantly clear by the Founding Fathers, references to which can be found throughout The Federalist Papers. Second it is the method by which the average citizen can defend their family, selves and property against the common criminal. Hunting would be the last right I would attribute to the Second Amendment. Frosting on the cake, as it were. I am against additional laws that would suppress or restrict by any means, a lawful citizens ability and right to own or purchase whatever firearm they believe necessary to secure their liberty, property and personal safety, or the amount of or place of purchase of ammunition needed to fulfill their security and/or training requirements. I would to like to hear your thoughts and ideas on this subject. Please be specific in your answers. Include your opinions on back ground checks, sales, registration, type of weapons you think need to be regulated (semi-automatic, bolt action, etc.) magazine capacities and any cosmetic features you might find objectionable. There are those working now who would strip us of our God given rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and the means to protect it. By your silence or by your answer I will know where you stand on this defining issue. Thank you and I'll see you at the polls. Sincerely," |
