Sent an email to Joe Barton last week about losing my vote if he votes for second amendment restrictions.
Dear Mr. possom813:
Thank you for contacting me with your opinion on Second Amendment issues. I appreciate the opportunity to hear from you.
The right to bear arms is guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the Constitution, and I am a consistent supporter of that right. I believe that violent crime must be reduced, but I will not support measures that infringe upon the Constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens.
I support an individual's right to defend themselves, their family, and their property with a legally obtained firearm. This right is put in jeopardy by those advocating stricter control measures. The gun control movement hurts law-abiding citizens and businesses, not the criminals who care nothing for the law. I believe we can better reduce the misuse of firearms by strongly enforcing laws already on the books and maintaining responsible judiciaries.
Again, thank you for sharing your opinion with me. Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
Joe Barton
Member of Congress
