Dear Mr. and Mrs. :
Again, thanks for contacting me. Please let me know if I can be of any help to you in the future.
Thank you for getting in touch with me to express your opposition to the Assault Weapons Ban. I appreciate hearing from you.
I support the Second Amendment rights of Marylanders who enjoy hunting or who have firearms to protect themselves. Yet, I strongly believe that assault weapons do not belong on our streets and are a threat tocommunities across our nation. Eliminating such powerful weapons from the streets will help reduce violent crimes, including crimes against law enforcement officers.
The Assault Weapons Ban of 2013 (S. 150) would outlaw military style assault weapons that fire a large volume of ammunition quickly without reloading. Specifically, this bill would prohibit the sale, transfer, manufacture or importation of certain semi-automatic pistols, shotguns, and weapons with an ammunition feeding device that holds more than ten rounds. This bill would also protect the rights of hunters and those who use certain firearms for sporting purposes.
Several law enforcement organizations including the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators, the International Association of Chiefs of Police, Women in Federal Law Enforcement, and the Police Foundation have supported this ban. I want you to know that my support for limited and common sense gun control, like the Assault Weapons Ban, does not diminish my support for Second Amendment rights.
Sincerely,
Barbara A. Mikulski
United States Senator
My reply:
Dear Senator,
As a long time politician I would figure that you would understand our rights. At no time was the 2nd amendment written to protect the rights of hunters. It was written to protect the individual. The original intention was to protect the citizen from who??? The Government. If the government can have what is actually an "assault weapon" on the streets then why can't a LAW ABIDING CITIZEN have a semi automatic rifle( note that I did not call it an assault weapon because it is not). You are misinformed with alot of other senators that believe limiting the rights of citizens will make our streets safer. You have the right of freedom of speech. The government or myself are not stopping you from saying what your incorrect beliefs are of the 2nd amendment. Your freedom of speech is not limited. Your freedom of religion is not limited. My 2nd amendment rights shall not be limited. I will not support any representative that does not support my rights as a law abiding citizen. I will also do my best to educate others as to what you and other representatives are trying to do to their rights. This administration and its followers are a prime example of what the colonies were struggling to survive against when the bill of rights were written. It is a shame when our elected officials do not listen to those that elected them. They think they know what is best for the citizens. The citizens hired you and the citizens will fire you.
