But of course the MSM always manages to twist these kind of statistics to fit their agenda or just brush them under the rug.

I got this back today in my email,

Dear Anthony,

 

Thanks very much and letting me know what’s on your mind regarding the right to bear arms.

 

I’m a strong supporter of Second Amendment rights. Congress should not pass laws that take away these rights from law abiding citizens and leave criminals to terrorize the streets. Good citizens don’t abuse guns – criminals do. I will continue to support legislative efforts to protect the Second Amendment rights of law abiding Americans, and oppose efforts to overturn the Second Amendment.

 

In two recent cases, the U.S. Supreme Court clearly held that the Second Amendment protects the right of individual Americans to keep and bear arms. In the 2008 case, D.C. v. Heller, the Supreme Court held that D.C.’s restrictive gun laws violated the constitutional rights of Americans. Two years later, in McDonald v. Chicago, the court struck down the city of Chicago’s handgun ban and held that, like the federal government, state and local governments must respect Second Amendment rights. I joined legal briefs in both cases in defense of this constitutional right and was pleased with the Supreme Court’s decisions.

 

I am grateful you took the time to let me know where you stand. I’ll be sure to keep your comments in mind as Second Amendment rights are discussed and debated in Washington and in Tennessee.

 

Sincerely,

Lamar

My Congressman is pro second amendment, but I didn't take it for granted that he would not try and ban my rifles or mags, so I sent him an over the top email just to make sure.

My Senator is Carl Levin a total wast of time telling him what to do, hes probably right in there trying to disarm us writing the bills, hes a total NWO asshole, I sent him a letter one time and he responded bragging how he helped wright the Brady law and it didn't go far enough.
