My State Senator is am man I have known, for much of my life. We a members of the same church. He is a Democrat, but seemed a very reasonable person. He is a Veteran, and received a Bronze Star in Desert Storm. When FSA2013 came about, it was so ridiculous and out there, I thought there was no way he could support it.
When questioned about why he would support such an abomination, he stated that the "church" wanted him to do so, for victim's rights.
Your senator is my senator, and our senator on this issue is a disappointment.
We last spoke at a community meeting that addressed multiple topics, and I took the opportunity to discuss FSA2013 with him. He carried a full auto in theater, and yet insisted the AR-15 is an "assault" weapon. Victims' rights never came up, but a BG going after me or my family makes us every bit a victim thanks to the senator and his ilk.
