What I'm asking is that you guys and gals look this over, it would be great if one of you were english majors because I know I have grammer errors and could use a little assistance with this.
The reason I'm asking the consesses of AR15.com is because the local english major here is quite anti gun and will probally not read this. Try not to steal it because I'm finishing this up before mailing.

my 0.02 Reads okay, but I wouldn't sign it Madman include your real name and address, that lends more credability I like your attitude |
|
I like it, but you need to edit it a little.
ETA Maybe if we sent in enough letters they would listen to us. |

Typo

I think i fixed it to what you meant, becuase later you then bring up the proposed 2nd AWB. EDIT: for sure fixed. |

There are as well a number of violations of this law in recent American history, namely the bush Assault Weapon Import Ban, and the 1994 Clinton Assault Weapons Ban.quote]
I would change this line, since Bush Sr. didn't really institue a 'ban', and the real AWB was signed by Clinton. I believe if you have your facts straight they would be more likely to listen. Just my .02. |

Ahh, writing a letter to the Supremes about guns... now you will be on "the list".
|
|
I wish I was on the list. :) Not.
Good idea, post a reply here if they ever get back to you. |

Madmann135, I'll buy you dinner if the surpreme courts actually overturns their policy of not hearing 2nd Amendment cases and overturns all of these UnConstitutional laws. In other words, great job, but I doubt you'll even get a response out of them. However, if you want to be really effective with this mindset, talk to every pro-gun person you know, get them to become teachers, journalists and politicians! That's the way we'll change the anti-gun climate. |

I have a really hard time with closing statements.
Plan on mailing this at latest on Wensday. Don't care if I get on the "List" I just care that I don't sound like an un educated person. I know the chances of the results I want being enacted are nill to Zip but I have to try. I am not the kind of person that likes being pushed and run over. |

Get rid of the first 'is' in the last paragraph and I think it should be 'owning' not 'owing', also last paragraph.
I know the subject is mainly on the 2nd Amendment, but you may want to consider providing some recent statistics on gun crime, gun ownership, etc, etc. Just to boot the liberal in the face. The NRA-ILA has some interesting stuff (I'm sure you knew that but nonetheless). http://www.nraila.org |

Having a little trouble ending it...
Here it is so far. Doing my best to keep it compact and right to the point.
The appropriate information, contact and such will be added to the letter |

The Supreme Court is not supposed to base its decisions on whether citizens having guns is good or bad for society. Your statistics are impressive, but ultimately they shouldn't enter into the court's decision at all.
The ONLY criteria the Supreme Court is supposed to use for striking down or upholding laws is whether or not they are constitutional. The supreme court SHOULD strike down all laws which infringe on my ability to acquire arms because: 1. All able bodied males between the ages of 18-45 are a member of the unorganized militia. The Dick Act in 1903 split the militia into joint controlled state National Guards and the unorganized militia (the unorganized militia is an almost identical mirror image of the miltia of the revolutionary war). 2. The founders, recognizing that the people were the militia, codified the right of those people to keep and bear arms. 3. The federal government is nowhere in the constitution given the power to regulate ownership of weapons by individual citizens. According to the 10th Amendment, individual weapons ownership is therefore a reserved right of the people. Those are the constitutional issues in play. And those are the only issues which should carry any weight in their decision making. So how do we go about getting these judges who like to legislate from the bench impeached? |

Thanks 1Andy2, working on inputing the information into the letter.
