USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- Dear President Trump/Senators,
The latest mass shootings have brought several things to the fore. America doesn’t have a gun problem we have a people problem…a culture problem. I’m going to put this discussion into two categories – demonizing by name-calling and gun control.
The core element of political correctness is killing free speech. The political correctness police view any speech they don’t agree with as hate speech and by the political correctness rules, such speech must be condemned first and then eliminated, even if by force. The college campuses of America have been the laboratory for this anti-American lunacy. Political correctness is censorship and a direct violation of the First Amendment. These censorship threats and name-calling are designed to compel the opposition to shut up.
The charge of “racist” has been the hammer used by the Left to shut off discussion of any issue that makes the Left uncomfortable. The President has been called racist by every liberal pundit on TV and in print and every Democrat leader and candidate for president. The President is not a racist. There is NO evidence that he is a racist. Additionally, the term racist has been applied to every supporter of the President.
The term racist has now lost its true edge because of its indiscriminate and wide-spread use.
The new cudgel to hammer the President and all of his supporters is as white supremacist or white nationalist. I’m very active in a lot of activities here in East Tennessee ranging from a 3000 member gun club, to a huge charity that raises money for veterans causes, to a 7000 member church, to a 300+ member car club. I’m 70 years old and I’ve never met a white supremacist or white nationalist. Whoever these people are, they are in the underbelly of America and are nothing more than gnats in the atmosphere. Calling the president these names is a despicable act and beyond reprehensible. Now we have the Speaker of the House and Democrat presidential candidates saying the white nationalists are an existential threat to the U.S. This is sheer lunacy. This is the type of mental illness that should exclude these people from having guns.
Sadly, few Republicans have stood up for our president. Republicans have no spine but what about human decency?
As a loyal and patriotic American how can you stand mute when our president is attacked in such a vile manner? How about debunking whole white nationalists as existential threat to the U.S.? But sadly, Republicans are mute.
Now to the issue of the siren call of gun control. The cause of these, and other mass shootings was NOT guns; it is our sick society. Most of the perpetrators legally obtained their guns. Laws against murder, illegal use of firearms, illegal discharge of firearms, assault with deadly weapons and in California transporting a firearm across state lines that is illegal in the Golden State; all of these laws, and no doubt many others, were violated. None of those statutes prevented these crimes, something nobody seems willing to discuss.
We have a society where violence is glorified. Go to a movie or even watch television and the violence is appalling. I refuse to believe that video games don’t contribute to the violence in our culture. There are many games where killing is the score by which you win. Denying this is putting your head in the sand. The same Hollywood that advocates for gun confiscation are the same Hollywood that glorifies guns and killing in their products.
The laws we currently have has not stopped the mass killings. The laws we have has not stopped the killings in Chicago, Baltimore, or Los Angeles. So, more laws are not the answer. We need a gut check on our culture.
Let’s address so-called “assault rifles.” What is an “assault rifle?” When anti-gun rights Sen. Diane Feinstein was writing the weapons ban bill, they needed to call this class of weapons something scary, so they called them “assault weapons.” This is a made-up term conjured solely for the purpose of scaring people. I spent 30 years in the Army as an infantryman. We didn’t have assault weapons. So the very term “assault weapons” is a product of the gun control crowd. As Feinstein and her staff were writing the “Assault Weapons Ban,” they had a gun catalog and went through the pages picking out pictures of scary-looking guns. Their ignorance of guns is just astounding.
Now we have gun banners talking about “weapons of war” and “killing machines” to add to the fear and apprehension created by “assault weapons” naming convention. The AR-15 is used by millions and millions of Americans for sport, hunting, and home defense.
It is NOT a weapon of war or a killing machine. As a professional soldier, I would never go to war with any gun I could buy commercially.
The Left has been able to define the language and then police violators of the language via political correctness. The gun control crowd has defined “assault weapons” as scary weapons, and scary weapons are weapons of war and killing machines and thus should not be in the hands of the citizenry. And Republicans are mute.
If Republicans want to lose the presidency and the Senate and the House, then pass universal background checks and “Red Flag” laws. If you want to cave, to surrender, to the insane mania of the media and the Left and pass these laws, then you will lose millions like me, law-abiding, freedom-loving, gun owners.
Let’s talk about “universal background checks” as the left dictates. They want the government to control all gun transactions. This is naked government control of the right to keep and bear arms. We have background checks!! The process works when it is applied correctly. There is nothing that can be done if some government agency doesn’t due their due diligence and put the required data into the system. This applies with the current background check system and any new system that the Left would dictate. By the way, there is NO gun show loophole. If someone at a gun show wants to sell a gun to a customer, they are required, by law, to run a background check. There is nothing that can be done to prevent someone from selling a gun illegally, now or with some “enhanced background check.” Additionally, the lie that is frequently told that “90% of Americans, even NRA members, support enhanced background checks” is a true fabrication. Let’s enforce the current laws, including the background check system.
It is worth time mentioning that the Constitution is a document written to preserve individual rights and liberty and to LIMIT the government oversight of those individual rights and liberty. The Founding Fathers felt so strongly about the God-given rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights that they listed them. These rights are a sign post that says, “government hands off.” The government is forbidden to get between these rights and the American citizens.
The government has already gotten between the citizen and the Second Amendment. It started with the National Firearms Act of 1934. These laws were serious infringements of the Second Amendment. Remember the words of the Constitution in the Second Amendment, “…shall not be infringed.” How many Republican presidents and Republican majorities in Congress have turned a blind eye to these egregious infringements on our right to keep and bear arms? If you don’t know about the histories of impacts of these laws, then you are derelict in your duties.
When “universal background checks” was explored by the Obama Administration it was defeated by the outcry of the citizenry. As envisioned by the Obama Administration, their “universal background checks” would control every transaction by a gun owner. If I wanted to sell a gun to a friend, I would have had to go to a licensed gun dealer, pay a fee, and then the buyer would have to undergo a background check. Obama’s own Justice Department produced a document that said the only way for “universal background checks” to work was to have a gun registry. My gun is my property, and as such, I have a right to sell it without asking permission from the government. A logical extension is a government requiring books to have serial numbers and controlling their distribution and sale.
So stay away from some form of “universal background checks.” Now to “Red Flag laws.” Seventeen states have some form of these laws, but only a couple of them even mention mental health. None of us wants mentally imbalanced people or terrorists to have guns. But these laws are a slippery slope to another way for the government to get between a citizen and their right to keep and bear arms. The gun grabbers are salivating about this. They want the government determining who is eligible to exercise their Second Amendment rights. The Left wants some type of process like was in the movie Minority Report, where the government reads the minds of citizens and takes actions to arrest the citizen before they committed some crime. Of course, reading the minds is a bit of hyperbole, but these laws would have government people across the country determining that someone who tweeted, made a Facebook post, wrote an email is a danger to society and they raid that person’s home and take their weapons. This then becomes a Fourth Amendment violation. So we start with a government deciding that something said by a citizen is unacceptable, violating the First Amendment, the government then violates the Fourth Amendment and deprives a citizen of their Second Amendment right.
Another part of this slippery slope is who reports the “unstable” citizen and then who decides whether the accusation is valid? Maybe a neighbor doesn’t like my MAGA hat and believes the crazy rhetoric of the media, and thus, I’m a white nationalist and therefore a threat and call the Sheriff. The Sheriff then conducts a “no-knock” warrant and breaks in my door in the middle of the night. I think this is a real break-in and defend myself, and I am, or an officer is shot. Imaginary? Not so, this happened recently to some unlucky homeowner. Who’s to blame? Who will be held accountable? If you pass these types of laws, these scenarios will play out over the nation.
“Red Flag laws” are another intrusion/infringement of citizens’ rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights.
In summary:
American citizens, simply because of their American citizenship, hold God-given rights to defend self and family — and that includes the right to own and use firearms. That God-given right is enshrined in the Constitution, as the Second Amendment.
The Second Amendment doesn’t allow for the government to determine whether some have rights to own firearms, versus others who don’t. Seriously: Do we really want government holding this power?
What about the path these “red flag” laws would take under a leftist administration, under Democratic control?
“Red flag” laws bring too many unknowns.
Millions of honest gun owners who didn’t use their firearms for mayhem have good reason to feel they are being penalized for crimes they did not commit. This is not an issue about guns; it’s about rights. These laws are repealing the Bill of Rights one chunk at a time.
When are Republicans going to stand up and defend the Bill of Rights? The President campaigned on and has emphasized his promise to defend the Second Amendment.

22 is a bot, always off topic, never responds to other comments.
He’s real and a nuisance over at TTAG, too … but he has a few good points. Live with it.
He’s right about those Commies in the wire dressed up to look like ‘Merkins.
Winnie is not a bot. No real bot would claim to be a Yankee southerner.
winnie has a lack of commitment,and southerner is what should be capped,not effen yankee,but we’ll forgive you since you went to those inferior barrier schools–
anon is a bot–
BigPharmaAtty is a bot.
He is a government agent provocateur. Aka a traitorous rat….seeking to get folks to incriminate themselves. He is an obvious shill for the Government stirring the pot……nobody likes a rat.
The left is mentally deranged. But the underlying problem is the SSRIs and anti-psychotics drug cocktails that these mass shooters are on. But they never address that problem and removing guns from peaceable citizens will change nothing. Even that author of this article did not go into that.
These drugs can be very dangerous and should be tightly controlled if not banned outright. There are natural ways to address mental illness. But big pharma makes billions off of these drugs. They throw millions at Congress to keep the billions rolling in.
Those drugs are not the whole problem, but they certainly contribute in a major way. There is not a ‘single answer’ solution.
“Gun control” is not about guns, but about CONTROL. Once the general population is disarmed, there is nothing standing in the way of their plans for the USSA.
Gun control is not about guns, but about control…..exactly. Never give up your guns, should that ever happen you will see history repeat in a very bad way…
An omen of things to come?

MaryChristine,
Prove your allegations with a quadruple blind study or cease and desist from your scurrilous and baseless allegations.
Do we need to have our stooges,er,public servants in Congress make a call to the IRS on your “behalf”?
It seems that you might have misunderstood the deductions you were entitled to.
These drugs do not address the underlying disease, they are like all the pills from the PIC
(Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex), they don’t cure anything, they only mask the symptoms, leading to a complete mental breakdown.
Mary Christine can say whatever she wants, nothing is going to change the fact that you are a mouthpiece for the PIC.
A mean bot!
I know many documented instances of SSRI rage. I was put on a low dose Zoloft many years ago. I got off it immediately when I almost attacked an old man who butted in front of me at an ice cream store.
Not to mention ssri side effect of shutting off orgasm like a switch.
Big Pharma puts millions into the development of anti depressants and then recoup the money and reap profits. With no more concern for the public than a vivisected laboratory mouse.
Take your legalese and shove it.
These drugs slow down the digestive process too.
I guess that makes Trump a leftist. He wants the red flag laws too.
I saw a video about tryptophan. Tryptophan, which can help replenish serotonin, was banned after a mysterious spate of illness allegedly caused by the supplement.
Shortly after that, Prozac was introduced.
Years later when the Prozac patent expired, tryptophan was suddenly available again.
SSRIs are gasolines poured on smoldering mind fires.
“When are Republicans going to stand up and defend the Bill of Rights? The President campaigned on and has emphasized his promise to defend the Second Amendment.”
They aren’t. Anymore than they have. And just how many times do you need to get pooned by trump before you smarten up? Wake up for Christ sakes.
“It’s a big club and you and I are not in ‘the big club”
He is right .If Trump passes any kind of gun control especially red flag laws he will lose his base. Millions of people that voted for him The last time will stay at Home including myself. The democrats will have it all and our nation will tear itself to pieces. If Trump doesn’t know this it will just reveal his true self.
We need public and tax policy, across all levels of gov, to be structured to encourage and promote advancement of TRADITIONAL FAMILIES, MIDDLE CLASS’ism, etc.
Our Public policy and tax structure attacks those virtues and promotes and incentivizes poverty and rot. It does.
Young men, somewhat unconsciously, see their FUTURES as being hopeless in this social structure that governments, from fed to local across the spectrum, have created. In that hopelessness, some small but statistically certain percentage will act out.
You will never get that from Republicans, and not by accident. They are merely the right bun of the Kosher Sandwich.
The Kosher Sandwich
The Kosher Sandwich is a piece of alt-right theory which does not receive nearly enough attention, and so will be extrapolated upon here. The basic idea of the Kosher Sandwich is that the Jewish elite have essentially sandwiched the two competing normie political options between two fundamentally Jewish ideologies.
If you go to the Left, you end up with communist anarchism and/or cultural Marxism, which are quite clearly Jewish ideologies which undermine traditional Western (white) nations and values. The bigger problem is that the “safe” alternative posed, the opposite end of the spectrum which is advocated by the Jewish elites to oppose Marxism, is simply the other side of the Jewish ideological coin: neoliberalism, individualism, and anarcho-capitalism.
It is no cohencidence that all the top intellectuals of the libertarian movement were Jewish (Rothbard, Rand, Friedman, Mises). Individualism is safe for the Jew, because it undermines white collectivism and white nationalism, and thus undermines the threat of collective white opposition to blatant Jewish ethnocentrism. Unfettered capitalism is safe for the Jew, because they can thrive in a “free market” by applying ethnocentric nepotism amongst a deracinated and rootless base population. Neoliberal, internationalist capitalism achieves the same destruction of race, family, and traditional morality sought by the Marxists, and is arguably even more effective in this regard than the Left. The white libertarians who value freedom and individualism above all else are contributing just as much to the destruction of white peoples, nations, and values, (if not more so) than the Marxist Left.
So the white normie is only offered two socially acceptable political positions: Jewish Marxism (which undermines white identity and values), or Jewish Neoliberalism/Libertarianism (which undermines white identity and values). It’s two sides of the same coin at the end of the day. And it is the fact that the normie views these two Jewish ideologies as the opposing ideological extremes which is the truly insidious yet clever trick played on the goy.
The alt-right offers the only true alternative to our modern clown world: Positive white identity, ethnic nationalism, traditional values, the family unit, cohesive communities, rejection of materialism (both capitalist consumerism and Marxist communism). In no other place will we find salvation.

Hmmm…Going to have re-read and chew on this ‘intriguing Catch 22’ AC.
The current music thug culture and video games and violent movies all contribute. Everything you experience ion life has an effect on you. Your subconscious picks it up even if you arent paying attention.
the current entitlement mentality of our society is a problem also. Guns are inanimate objects and murder is against the law.
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/08/what_does_justice_look_like_for_jeffrey_epsteins_victims.html
What about that “redress of grievances” clause in that Amendment?
I still haven’t seen enough of these alleged victims.
They have a habit of manufacturing the victims like with Sandy Hoax and the Boston Marathon.
It’s supposed to be dozens upon dozens of victims. Were is the outrage? This feels like the hoaxed Catholic Priest scandal which was announced to be tens of thousands of victims- except *not really* after examining the public record years later.
U are a responsive not.
bot, dumbass… they suggested 22 was a bot.
Hot damn that was funny! I get the best opinions and the best laughs here!
payola,
is that your real pic?
the more guys admin has on the blog seeing ads,the more $ he makes,so he gives extra posting privileges to attractive noobs who post full frontals of themselves–
just tryin to help–
Not sure if I’m ready for the full monty of Not Gay Vet.
hang a sheet on it
NOW is the time to take action.
In less than 15 months, we will hold elections for 435 members of the House of Representatives and 1/3 of the Senate, with the primary elections coming in less than a year. Conservatives must band together and find candidates who believe the actual words of the Constitution and are willing to support that great document with their “lives, fortunes and sacred honor”. We have had enough with Republicants and need to replace them with true Conservatives. My state will be electing a new senator, replacing the spineless Lamar Alexander.
NOW is the time to say “I’m mad as hell and not going to take it any more!”
The political problem lies with Republicans who are left of center and Democrats who are socialists. The center has shifted, public service has turned into private selfishness, and the government views the public as little more than milk cattle to be exploited.
The blowback from the modern sans culottes, if or when it happens, will be incredible.
You still think we can vote our way out of this? That’s a long-shot. The sure thing is to move far from any city, get self-sufficient as practical, know your neighbors, and learn how to make the most of bullets, beans and bandages while waiting for the EBT to crash. ZOG bought our govt and they will never give it up without a fight. Plan for the fight.
@Neuday Hear, hear!!! Amen.
I have done all of that, but I still think we can put REAL conservatives in government who can slow the process. I also think the demographics are against conservatism, but cling to that small voice in my head that says to do all I can while I am still alive to leave a better US to my kids, grandkids and great-grandkids.
The lasting legacy of Trump will be the judiciary, so we need conservatives, especially in the Senate.
The democrats are now threatening to upend SCOTUS when they regain power and that is a very scary thought.
TN, I would prefer we dump the conservative tag and look for people who agree we need to live within and solve our problems within the Constitution. I AM conservative but every asshole Republican who has f’d us over after being elected swore he or she was a conservative beforehand. The media labelled every Republican no matter how lame as a conservative. There is no surefire answer but I must agree with Schlichter about the “cruise ship shills.” I refuse to be associated with such clowns.
Last weekend there were 59 shootings in Chicago. Add all the shootings in Philly / Baltimore / Detroit / NY / LA …….
almost. now go a little deeper. ponder the connection between culture and race.
Good News/ Bad News.
There are two things that happen after EVERY mass shooting;
—1) enraged Libfuks will demand more gun control (boo !!!)
—2) gun sales increase dramatically (hahahaha!!!)
——- Gun sales have doubled at Walmarts …. in El Paso!!! A shooting range that normally gets 5-7 people in it’s classes over a weekend … had over 50 new people this past weekend.
——- story here; https://nypost.com/2019/08/13/hispanic-el-paso-residents-flock-to-gun-shops-ranges-after-mass-shooting/
..
..
By my calculation we only need 18 more mass shootings before the entire country is armed to the teeth! This, folks, is wonderful news.
Then Trump must be a Libfuk. He is supporting more gun control.
There is a world of difference between what Trump tweets … and what he actually does.
His tweets are meant to fuck with libtard brains (assuming they have one). Apparently, Trump’s tweets are also fucking you up.
Oh, so if Trump is submitted with a bill passed by congress for red flag laws, then according to you, he’s not going to sign it but veto it ? Am I understanding you right?
A rash of prison breaks in this region have caused our back roads to be almost overrun with police vehicles and unmarked cars.
I got a ticket. I thought of what happened last time I mouthed off to a cop and kept my damn mouth shut.
I’m actually trainable.
Please explain what this has to do with the subject matter of this thread?
It is a culture problem, you see… we are in a backwoods community that has very little police presence obvious on the road.
Seeing several policemen along a path where there are usually ZERO patrols on two consecutive days… getting a ticket for cresting a hill “15 over” which sounds expensive and realizing the suburbs of the sticks seems to be attracting too many revenuers these days.
So, the prison breaks in Kentucky, Missouri and Arkansas recently created a sort of posse mentality with the cops. Missouri is an open carry state and, with medical marijuana approved and about to go statewide there seems to be an increase in crime even out here in podunk, nowhere.
And, we have a LOT of guns.
No one brings up the FACT that these are the Media Assault Movie Makers that TEACH violence?
Hollywood religiously cranks out violent, gun-happy films regardless of the headlines du jour
NO more guns in any movies. No swords, spears, clubs, or axes.
These “pious” actors are all about “righteousness” Chinese characters HAVE to be played by Chinese actors , Black characters HAVE to be played by Black actors , then —- NO actor shall be allowed to pick up a weapon if they are not NRA members or Military Veterans. Also all weapons MUST be handled in a safe and proper method as approved by NRA and Military training.
Notice that the most violent movies are ALWAYS the ones with Afleck, Clooney, Damon, DiCaprio, Gyllenhaal, and Pitt in them? They yammer on about conservatives and “their guns” while making the most senselessly violent flicks.
Coming from an industry that thrives on guns. If a 30 second commercial sells things the best commercials are the thousands of hours of guns in movies. Thanks Hollywood!!
Universal Pictures film executives have reportedly pulled ads for an upcoming horror film, “The Hunt,” which centers on a retreat for rich, elite liberals to physically hunt “deplorables” for sport. According to The Hollywood Reporter, executives decided to pull advertisements for the film in the wake of the deadly mass killings that took place in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio. http://www.hideoutnow.com/2019/08/universal-pictures-pulls-ads-for-horror.html
Are these “courageous” play actors going to refuse to make anymore picture shows with guns, lazer swords, arrows, or any other form of violence? No more smashing or bashing ….. NO VIOLENCE in any of Their work? No more profiting off gratuitous violence?
It is the MSM pushing the IDEA of consequence free violence that is the cause of the bloodshed.
MEDIA-ASSAULT-THOUGHTS. There is no action that is not preceded by the thought and idea of the action, and MSM has immersed America in violent anti-social thoughts. and been publicly proud and boastful of their ANTI-heroes. The immersion of a society in the thoughts and ideas of senseless violence unaccompanied by consequences. The flooding of Media venues such as music, movies, video games, TV, with thoughts and ideas designed to induce violent behavior. If purveying ideas through the media does not work ….. why are $BILLIONS spent every year on advertising and political propaganda if spreading “thoughts” does not matter?!?!
“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the [public] is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.” -Edward Bernays writing in Propaganda, l928, from “Food & Water Journal”
Killers gonna kill. Grab the killer, not his guns stupid! Guns don’t kill people; people kill people. Unconstitutional Red Flag Laws, as proposed will allow any liberal to call police on a neighbor and some leftist judge issue a Red Flag (SWAT team permit); like the millions of unconstitutional Restraining Orders issued against good husbands. That will turn all legal gun owners in America into Alexander Solzhenitsyn waiting for the door to be kicked in at 3 AM. If liberals were advocating legal (Constitutional) measures to take THE VIOLENT PEOPLE off the streets, I’d support their efforts; but they aren’t: their object is to create Chaos, disarm Americans, and impose Communism. Identifying intent to commit a crime is a proper business of the Law and never before have they had as many tools to accomplish that. The Deep State Muller Coup explains why their failure rate has sky-rocketed over the last decade. Don’t give them carte blanche for a KGB or Gestapo.
A glaring example of a culture lost is any Leave it to Beaver episode.
The problem is directly a Project Orion problem wherein the CIA programs individuals to go do such heinous acts for the purpose of driving the public to beg for increasing gun control to pave the way for a totalitarian state. Its a fucked up deal, but its time to call a shovel a shovel. I cannot understand the twats that insist on violating the rights of the law abiding for the promise of safety, rather than simply arming themselves. Idjits.
Violent PEOPLE cause violence – inanimate objects do not.
Massively complex societal problems cannot be solved by passing more restrictive laws which only affect law abiding gun owners.
PREVENTATIVE mental health services, among other things, needs to be the focus instead of merely creating a list of “dangerous people” not permitted to have firearms. Those same firearm banned “dangerous” people would still be able to own and operate cars, trucks, heavy construction equipment, transport gasoline, buy unlimited propane, etc. If someone is deemed to be too dangerous to own a firearm they need to be locked up! Either in a jail or a psych ward.
This is taken from a documentary about Charles Whitman and the Texas clock tower shooting: This tragedy happened in 1966 – “Whitman had the advantage, [He had barricaded himself in a 300 foot high tower and was shooting and killing people at random] but he didn’t factor in the response of the community. The police arrived. They were pinned down [By Whitman’s gunfire], unable to get to the tower.” Then the unthinkable happened-the likes of which that would make Democrat politicians like Dianne Feinstein, Andrew Cuomo, Dick Durban, Bill DeBlasio, Mike Bloomberg, Chuck Schumer, Phil Murphy, Dick Blumenthal, Spartacus Booker and liberal media elites shudder. “Private Citizens came out of their homes with rifles. They [Private Citizens] laid down suppressing gunfire. Charles Whitman couldn’t move. He couldn’t poke his head up without a barrage of bullets whizzing past his head. This allowed two police officers and a private citizen to enter the tower and eventually kill Charles Whitman.” But according to Senator Dick Durban, an armed citizenry is a “suicide pact”.
Freedom comes with risks. Either you want to live in a free country or you don’t. If YOU want to give up YOUR civil liberties to feel safe then do so. But do NOT ask us to give up OUR civil liberties. Do NOT ask tens of millions of other freedom-loving Americans to give up theirs either! If YOU find The United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights including The Second Amendment unacceptable then go live somewhere else.
Now all of you 2A supporters MUST get off these message boards and contact ALL of your elected representatives including the President and tell them:
NO UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS
NO RED FLAG LAWS
STOP THE GUN CONTROL NONSENSE
STOP VIOLATING THE US CONSTITUTION
Contact them via email, telephone, congressional websites, snail mail, megaphone and maybe a few ways I have left out. Make sure they all know (Including the Democrats) than ANY gun control measures and ANY restrictions on firearm ownership are unconstitutional, UNACCEPTABLE and would be a huge mistake for their political careers! Flood their offices with calls, letters, emails and in-person visits.
