Dear sir,
I am a FL resident and a pro 2nd Amendment and fire arm ownership supporter.
I read with interest about your recent car jacking incident and also read some additional comments about your position on fire arm ownership that I found quite intriguing and to say the least, somewhat confusing.
From what I have read, and correct me if I am wrong, as a Democratic party politician, you are a STRONG supporter of much stricter fire arm control measures and that you also supported the Assault rifle ban legislation during the early '90's.
On the other hand, however, I also read, and feel free to correct me if I wrong again, that you have a permit to carry a concealed fire arm. With that I would have to assume that you therefore also own at least one concealable fire arm. Furthermore, I am led to believe that you are also the proud owner of a Colt AR-15 Sporter assault rifle.
My questions to you sir, are:-
- How do you reconcile these two totally conflicting pieces of information?
- How can you be a politician that strongly supports fire arm control and at the same time own presumably multiple fire arms? I would guess you own at least two - a concealable hand gun and an assault rifle.
- Does your political party know that you are directly in conflict with the party line on fire arm ownership?
- How do you justify your fire arm ownership, but at the same time want to remove and/or limit fire arm ownership for law abiding citizens?
- Do you really believe that stricter fire arm control legislation will reduce violent crime? I am sure you will agree with me, that criminals, by intent, do not concern themselves with any laws and would therefore not even blink an eye at stricter fire arm legislation.
- Would you be prepared to give up the fire arms that you currently own, should the government at some point in time decide to 'confiscate' all fire arms for our own safety?
- Or, do you believe that certain people should be entitled to own fire arms, but not the 'general populace'?
- Have you seen any statistics regarding the increase in violent crime in countries where fire arm ownership has been severely limited? Case in point here is South Africa. Are you aware of the explosion in violent crimes in that country since the introduction of their 'Gun Free South Africa" legislation?
I am awaiting your aswers with bated breath
Sincerely
Cxxxxxx Sxxxxxxxx
