I just emailed that bitch, and I don't even live in her state!

Here's the text of what I sent:
..............start of letter..............
I'm so glad I don't live in your state.
Your proposed legislation to outlaw .50 caliber rifles is probably one
of the
three stupidest things I've ever seen in print.
Why don't you do a little research before proposing something this
idiotic?
Never mind. I know why. You want to ban guns and aren't particularly
interested
in the truth because it just gets in your way.
Such research would reveal that these rifles simply aren't used in the
commission of crimes. They're big, heavy, expensive, very hard to
conceal,
can't be fired without attracting a LOT of attention, and to borrow
Richard
Pearson's comment, "These weapons are as clumsy as a cow on a fire
escape"
Criminals simply don't use them, and you can't come up with any evidence
that they do. Not that I'd expect you to try, since truth is bad
business for
a gun-grabber like yourself.
Fortunately, the state of Illinois is not completely full of idiots
who'd support
your anti-Constitutionalist agenda. With any luck, your bill will be
laughed
out of existence and you'll be laughed out of office.
Why don't you and your fellow gun-grabbers ever stop to think that
law-abiding citizens aren't the people you need to worry about? It's
the criminals you need to worry about, and they're already disobeying
the law. Do you think they'll obey another stupid new anti-gun law
when they haven't been in the habit of obeying laws to begin with?
Rather than try to criminalize a manufactured item, why don't you
focus on effective enforcement of the laws already in place, of
which there are already quite enough? Regardless of gun type,
it's illegal to shoot somebody in most cases and that by itself
is sufficient if the law is properly supported.
Quit blaming a THING when it's a PERSON who's committing the ACT.
Your feeble-minded attempt to justify this legislation as an
anti-terrorism
measure won't fool a smart six year old. NOBODY with a three-digit
IQ believes for a moment that terrorists buy their guns in the US
when they're a tenth as expensive in some other countries, particularly
those countries where terrorists are usually armed and trained, like
Pakistan and other parts of the Middle East.
Legislation like you're apt to introduce penalizes nobody except for
honest, decent, law-abiding citizens who just happen to enjoy the
shooting sports and harm nobody in the process, and those who
choose to be armed against the possibility of attack by the
aforementioned
criminal element, but have no criminal intentions.
Gun owners across the nation are becoming more and more aware of
the un-American activities of gun-grabbing socialists like yourself on a
daily basis. You'll find less and less support for your harebrained
schemes
with each passing day. For your sake, if you want to have another
term
in office, you'll figure that out and reconsider your position in time
for your
re-election bid if you choose to pursue that path. Otherwise, those who
are awake and aware WILL vote you out of office.
