Subj: Gun Control by Executive Order

Our Constitution -- the Supreme Law of the Land -- included the Second
Amendment provision to "keep and bear arms" to ensure that the new American
government could not disarm the people. 

The right to bear arms is an essential part of liberty and a free society.
Yes, our forefathers knew the importance of an armed citizenry as a check
against big government and tyranny. Further, they knew that individuals
should always be free to protect themselves, their family, and their
property. 

Why has this become so controversial today? 

The Second Amendment states, "A well regulated militia being necessary to
the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms
shall not be infringed." 

I ask you to reject the reinstatement of an Assault Weapons Ban and its goal
to restrict the purchase or transfer of military-grade weapons, for the
Second Amendment protects such. 

I want you to understand, care about, and protect the Second Amendment.
Consider Thomas Mullen of the Washington Times' comment: 

"Having weapons of war on the streets is the whole point of the 2nd
Amendment. The amendment wasn't drafted to ensure that Americans could hunt.
It wasn't drafted so that Americans could protect themselves, although the
natural right to defend one's life was never as compromised as it is in the
modern gun control era. 

They weren't out to confiscate hunting rifles, 'fer squirrels and sech,'
either. They intended to confiscate a store of arms that would outfit the
average colonist with weapons roughly equivalent to the average British
infantryman. 

That's why the 2nd Amendment was written, to ensure that the government's
army would never have superior firepower to the people." 

Yes, the Second Amendment protects all weapons, even so-called "weapons of
war." Again, this is not controversial -- it is simply what the founders
gave us to preserve our free society. 

I will not permit bad, utopian ideas that suggest society can abolish
violence, aggression, and death by simply removing guns. Such an argument
even a child wouldn't believe - and I hope you don't. I stand for my right
to keep and bear arms defensively, and I stand for my neighbors' rights to
do the same. 

As your constituent, I demand that you refuse any and all attempts to disarm
Americans through Diane Feinstein's coming "Assault Weapons Ban" or any
other gun control bill Obama or your colleagues may propose! 

Further, I demand that you prepare to combat any and all executive orders
that would establish increased gun control. It is in Congress’ power to
oppose any executive action by: 1) a ¾ vote against it; 2) refusing to
appropriate funds for the order’s execution; or, 3) passing legislation that
would interfere with the order. 

I am counting on you to uphold your oath of office to uphold the
constitution at all costs. 

I am watching your actions on this.
