Just sent this off.....
Senator Kerry,
I'm a licensed gun owner in Massachusetts and believe strongly in the 2nd Ammendment to our Constitution. Any attempt at reinstituting a ban on firearms of any kind is a direct assault on the Constitutional rights granted us by the authors of that great document.
None of the laws regarding guns have had an effect on people that use them in an illegal manner and yet the Democrat party will continue to pander to the folks that believe that the GUN is the problem and not the person that wields it. This is wrong and you know it's wrong!
Law abiding citizens, who've undergone extensive background checks in order to preserve a Constitutional Right are a growing force in this country. To a man and woman, we vote, we get involved and we organize in a law abiding manner to once again fight for what is rightfully ours.
Please reconsider and rethink where you want this issue to take this country. It is tragic that the Mexican Government is undergoing a severe problem in the south but it is their problem and we have more pressing problems here at home.
There are 535 people in the Washington D.C. who are completely out of touch with what this country is thinking and now that the Presidents honeymoon appears to be over, one might reflect on what one would like to be doing after the next election cycle.
Respectfully,
TS Bevins
