Here is the letter I sent-

Senator Warner/Webb/etc,

The recent tragedy at Virginia Tech befalls us all, and I pray for the families of the fallen. I also thank the first responders for the hard work and tough choices they were forced to make.

I urge you to remain sensible with regards to any upcoming legislation. Please do not allow the independent actions of a madman to affect the rights of law-abiding citizens.

Specifically, I urge you to vote against any and all gun-control legislation, as it is obvious that someone who would murder 32 people and commit our most horrible of crimes, would not obey or heed to any laws about possession of weapons.

Please keep these thoughts in the back of your mind, in case liberty-haters in congress attempt to profit from the fallout from this tragedy and try to breach my rights as a combat veteran, a police officer, and a citizen.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
<pevrs114>
