Senator -
First off, let me say I am incredibly disappointed in your involvement with the current anti-gun legislation making its way through the chambers of Congress. In 2016 and again in 2020 I was a single-issue voter and that issue was the preservation of the Constitution of the United States which myself and millions of others have sworn to defend. Here we are in 2022 and Republicans are now involved in the eroding of those rights enshrined in our founding document.
I strongly oppose red flag laws and any forthcoming legislation that you draft including red flag provisions or emergency protective orders will automatically and irrevocably cause me to vote against you in future elections.
I also strongly oppose “enhanced background checks” that classify 18-20 year old citizens differently in how they are afforded constitutionally protected rights. Either criminal and mental health disqualifiers are entered into NICS, or they aren’t. Fix the NICS system and the data reporting that feeds NICS and there is no need for treating adults under 21 differently.
The Second Amendment is an acknowledgment of a God given right, not a government afforded privilege, and North Carolinians expect that those whom we elect into the US House and the US Senate to represent us will recognize and defend that right. We expect that our elected representatives will preserve our unique heritage. We expect that you will choose restraint of the government over erosion of individual liberty.
It is incomprehensible that Washington politicians are actively working to erode the due process and self protection rights of law abiding citizens who have committed no crime, while simultaneously ignoring deficit spending, inflation, energy prices, the border, attacks on police and judges, and violent crime. Fix these problems and make America a decent place to live again, and maybe less people will be inclined to commit the abhorrent types of mass murder that occurred in Uvalde and Buffalo.
Liberals set the stage for all of this - don't give them an inch on the 2A.
Please don't respond back to me with your canned, auto generated response. Either respond back personally, or don't respond at all.
Josh
