SENATOR MARIA CANTWELL'S REPLY TO MY E-MAIL REGARDING THE 2nd AMENDMENT

MY LETTER;
I am writing this letter to you so as to inform you as to my concern over the possibility of renewed attacks on the 2nd Amendment. As reaffirmed by the Supreme Court, this right does pertain the the rights of the individual gun owner. As a member of the NRA, we as an organization, watch the voting records of all our elected officials and make sure that the voting records are disseminated as widely as possible. As we go into this new era, we are watching more closely than ever. I urge you in the most strongest terms to resist and NOT vote in favor of any gun legislation that will infringe on any law abiding citizens right to own, possess or carry weapons to include concealed carry.

SENATOR MARIA CANTWELL'S REPLY;

Thank you for contacting me to express your views on gun ownership. I appreciate hearing your concerns about gun control and understand how strongly you feel about the right to bear arms.
You should know that I take our Constitution very seriously. It is a most fundamental goal for me as your Senator to work to uphold the rights guaranteed by our founding document. Furthermore, I know that recreational use and collection of guns for hunting, sport, and other activities is extremely important to you and many other law-abiding Washingtonians.

Just as I am committed to protecting Second Amendment rights, I believe you would agree with my long-standing conviction that we must keep guns out of the hands of criminals and children. I believe that our first step in preventing further criminal and youth gun violence should be stricter enforcement of responsible gun laws that punish criminal use of firearms and that make access to guns harder for children and criminals.
As your Senator, you can be assured that I will work to protect the legitimate rights of law-abiding American gun-owners, while continuing to support responsible gun control legislation to reduce crime and make our communities safer. I believe both of these goals are important and can be simultaneously accomplished through common-sense gun laws and stricter enforcement of existing laws.
Again, thank you for contacting me on this important issue. Please do not hesitate to contact me again on this or any other issue.

Sincerely,
Maria Cantwell
United States Senator

MY REBUTTAL:
At least I got an actual reply from her. My only question is.......what does she mean by "common-sense" gun laws?

A CLOSE CALL

I was all set to sit down in my lonely, dark, dank writers garret and work on this page, however...., that all changed as I pulled into my driveway. There was a neighbor lady walking her dog out in the street in front of my house, and there was a pit bull there harassing her trying to get at her dog. Me being a 29 year retired military cop, I grabbed my Asp baton and proceeded to do everything I could to to fend off the pit bull. The pit charged me several times and I was able to get in a couple of strikes as I dodged it when it was attacking. I was able to get the pit distracted enough to get the lady in my house with her dog and call the authorities. So, anyway, I'm not in the correct frame of mind to be any good at writing now. So I will sit here, in my lounge chair and have a drink and try and calm down for the rest of the night. I'll be back at it tomorrow. Oh, by the way, all you Pit Bull lovers out there...........In my now INFORMED opinion, they are dangerous without any doubt in my mind...........
