All the response from "Dutch" have been canned. I recevied the same one. We are getting good personal responses which gives me hope, but the fight isn't even close to be over, nor will it ever be.

Got this back from Andy Harris...the ONLY response I received.
Thank you for contacting me about the recent Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut and your concern about the potential erosion of our 2nd Amendment rights. As an educator and father of five, two of whom are still in school, the horror that took place on the morning of Friday, December 14, 2012 is unfathomable. My deepest thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of the 27 victims and the Newtown community.
We all must work together to prevent these types of tragedies. I believe we have to start by addressing the culture of violence that has consumed our country. Our news media, movies, television shows, and video games display endless violent images that glorify and inspire this behavior. We have to stop sensationalizing these murderers. According to KidsHealth, the average child spends 28 hours a week watching television and it is estimated that by the time this child leaves elementary school, he or she will have witnessed 8,000 murders and over 100,000 other acts of violence (and this does not include violent video games). According to The Parents Television Council, by the time children reach the age of 18, they have seen more than 40,000 murders and 200,000 acts of violence. I believe this is a major contribution to the problem.
As a physician, I also feel mental health care reform needs to be a part of the discussion. It is important to remember that those with mental illnesses rarely commit acts of violence and this low incidence must be put into perspective. However, we need to make sure children and young adults with mental illness are diagnosed and have access to proper therapy in order to help them cope with their condition. Studies show that more than 10% of children in the United States may benefit from some sort of mental health treatment, but most do not receive help. There is a shortage of resources and services available to serve those that need mental health care support. Furthermore, where these resources exist, their implementation could be improved and used more effectively.
Like you, I agree that we must enforce to the fullest extent possible our current gun control laws that protect people from danger, like preventing gun ownership by criminals or those suffering from a severe psychological disorder that could result in a violent act. Currently, over 4,450 crimes related to guns exist on the federal law books, and tens of thousands have been proposed in the Federal Register. According to the Brady Campaign, Connecticut has the 5th toughest gun laws in the country including an assault weapons ban. Norway, a nation with some of the toughest gun laws in the world, not too long ago had to deal with a mass murderer killing over 80 people, most of whom were children. Illegal use of a firearm, as was the case with the Sandy Hook shooter, should always be prosecuted to the fullest extent.
I believe that by addressing our country's increasingly worrisome culture of violence, and implementing strategies to generally improve our mental health system, we can lessen the occurrence of these tragedies by targeting the root causes of mass murders. I am grateful for your comments, and you may rest assured that I will keep your views in mind as legislation on this issue is discussed. I hope that you will feel free to contact me on any issue of importance to you or your family in the future.
Sincerely,
Andy Harris, M.D.

Nice. Glad to see he put thought into it, even if it might be a form response.
I'd LOVE to see what he sends to "antis"...

Considering what happened in Norway, where "gun control" laws are among the tightest in the world, (over 60 killed, most were children) and what happened in Newtown where there are strict "gun control" laws, it seems to me, in that police cannot always be present, a great contribution to public safety, at no taxpayer expense, could be made by armed law-abiding citizens. At the very least the concept ought be given unbiased study.

Seems shitty until you realize that until now he's been telling me to go fuc& myself. Enough people are getting through that he actually had to address us and change his pitch, and I got something similar from Cummings.
We are not nearly out of the woods, but we're doing the right stuff, we need to continue and step it up.
Give money to MD shall issue, they're on our side, and they are THERE in the MD legislature, they're our troops in this fight, we gotta support them

Please post the Cummings change ("before" and "after" would be even better, if you could)... I'd love to see how it differs from his original.
IMO, he is a linchpin for the debate.

Mr. Ost.;
I would appreciate knowing what you sent that generated the favorable reply. I think we need to carpet bomb our friends and foes. The more ideas the better.
Thanks

Me too. I wonder if he realizes we are not in his district, or if some intern mistakenly sent the wrong reply.

I don't think they read my email:
Dear Mr. VW:
Thank you for contacting me about the recent events in Egypt. I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue.
Like you, I have great concerns about the protests and violence in Egypt. I support President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton's call for a democratically elected government that respects the human rights of its citizens. The United States and Egypt have a long standing history of cooperation. It is essential that a new government respect this relationship and continue to provide stability in the region.
Egypt receives significant foreign aid from the U.S. As a member of the Appropriations Subcommittee which helps determine our levels of foreign aid, I have worked to ensure that these funds are used to promote democracy and meet the needs of the Egyptian people. I will continue to look critically at how this money is being spent.
Again, thanks for contacting me. If I can be of any further assistance, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Barbara A. Mikulski
United States Senator
