Here was my response to him....
[SIZE=2]Representative Richmond,[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]As an avid gun owner, hunter, shooter and, collector, I hope that I see your name on a ballot soon, if you truly feel that I have no right to possess or purchase magazines to my liking and, as you call it, “military style weapons.” The reason I’d like to see your name on a ballot is simple, I will be voting for you to be out of office. “Military style weapons” are no more lethal than any other. Case and point, I own a Ruger 10/22. It has a wood stock right now but, in 20 minutes, I can dress it up to be on your style of weapon. The function has not changed one bit.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Instead of going after those of us who abide by the laws your “community” (D.C.) has set forth, how about you go after the root of the problem, mental illness. It is well known that we are, by far, the most medicated nation in the world. Why is that? Is it pharmaceutical companies lobbying in D.C.? That’s what I figure the big problem is. The mentally deranged are behind more than half a dozen of the latest killing sprees. I want to be able to protect myself and my family from them, with whatever firearm I deem necessary. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Normal people are not the enemy here. We aren’t killing anyone in mass. We aren’t killing anyone at all. However, we are being punished as though we are. Joe Biden was overheard just the other day saying that no new gun law would stop mass killings or lower the murder rate. While he wasn’t meant to be heard and posted on CNN, it was likely the first thing that he’s ever said that had any merit, in my mind. Until D.C. admits to what the real problem is, we as taxpayers and, law abiding citizens will continue to suffer on multiple fronts. To name a few, we will be watching our tax dollars wasted on mindless laws that do no good for anyone. We will donate our spare money to groups who advocate for us, such as the NRA and, we will be further oppressed by more useless laws that NO CRIMINAL FOLLOWS![/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Again, if you can’t understand why guns laws won’t help, please understand why I cannot vote for you.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Sincerely,[/SIZE]
