Got this from my Congresswoman.
The Second Amendment
What actions should be taken to create safer communities? Fill out a quick survey HERE.
Dear Friends,
In January President Obama unveiled his gun-control policy. He called on Congress to resurrect and expand the Clinton-era ban on semi-automatic rifles, including a ban on magazines larger than ten rounds.
The President also announced 23 Executive Orders to help advance his gun control agenda. Some of the Executive Orders may sound acceptable at first glance. But the Executive Branch will have the power to unilaterally fill in the details, so we have to be vigilant in tracking how these orders are implemented and whether they affect the constitutional rights of citizens.
As a mother, I can’t begin to imagine the horror and tragedy experienced by the parents of the victims in the Newton, CT shooting. This and other senseless acts of violence, including what happened right in our backyard recently in Aurora, CO are concerning to everyone. But restricting the Second Amendment rights of law-abiders won’t solve the problem.
I took an oath to defend the Constitution and this includes the Second Amendment. That is why I joined several other Members of Congress in sending a letter to President Obama declaring our opposition to firearm and ammunition bans or other gun control measures, whether through legislation or Executive Order.

This is a serious issue. Actions taken in the heat of an emotionally-charged moment will nonetheless have long-lasting consequences. That’s why, if you have a minute, I’d love to get your take on this contentious issue. What actions should be taken to create safer communities? Click HERE to take the quick survey.
