Letter my best friend wrote to his Senator in Tennessee
Now this is how letters should read: Respectful, friendly, focused, and firm.
Quote:
> February 16, 2013
>
> The Honorable Doug Overbey
> 301 6th Avenue North
> Nashville, TN 37243
>
> Dear State Senator Overbey,
>
> I am a law-abiding citizen and responsible gun owner.
>
> I am saddened by the tragic events in Newtown, Connecticut, but I believe that efforts to impose new restrictions on me and other lawful and responsible owners like me are misguided. Did you know that violent crime with firearms has declined since the Federal "assault weapons ban" expired in 2004?
>
> Your focus should be on strengthening mental health care and improving the quality of data supporting NICS checks (National Instant Criminal Background Check System). Do NOT pass more gun laws; instead, work to enforce the more than 20,000 gun laws already on the books.
>
> I am your constituent and I vote. Please represent me.
>
> Sincerely,
|
