I am your constituent and I don’t know about you, but I am fed up with gun violence in our country. As you know, another school shooting with an AR type rifle at a school in Georgia this week and more dead and injured.
We deserve to live in a country where we and our families can to go to school or work in safety. What part of 5 year olds having active shooter drills in school makes you feel good?
Look, it is way past high time for We The People, that means you in Congress, to get in gear.
No weapons of war allowed in homes, nothing that can make a gun shoot dozens of bullets a minute like a machine gun, mandatory in depth background checks on EVERY GUN TRANSFER, mandatory training and licensing and insurance. Demand safe storage and trigger locks, red flag laws. You get the picture - elected representatives have successfully blocked all of these. Well I’ve had enough I want you to engage and get those laws passed and start protecting the public. And while I have your attention, how about sufficient funding for enough Alcohol Tobacco and Firearm agents to actually enforce those good regulations we have been discussing.
I will watch your words and your behavior and I promise I will remember and vote accordingly.
