Wrote Mrs Mikulski a couple of months ago. Copied and suitably modified a letter from this board. I didn't expect an answer, but the content is what I thought it would be. I'm sure I'll vote against her again when the time comes.

Mr. monsternav
The internet
does not need to know my address

Dear Mr. monsternav:


Thank you for getting in touch with me
to express your opposition to the Assault
Weapons Ban. I appreciate hearing from you.
I apologize for the delay in my response and
sincerely hope you have not been
inconvenienced by this in any way.

I support the second amendment rights
of Marylanders who enjoy hunting or who have
firearms to protect themselves. Yet, I
strongly believe that assault weapons do not
belong on our streets and are a threat to
communities across our nation. Eliminating
such powerful weapons from the streets will
help reduce violent crimes, including crimes
against law enforcement officers. Every
major law enforcement organization including
the Fraternal Order of Police, the National
Sheriffs' Association, and the International
Association of Chiefs of Police have
supported the ban. My support for limited
and common sense gun control, like the
Assault Weapons Ban, does not diminish my
support for Second Amendment rights.

The Assault Weapons ban passed the
Senate as an amendment to the Protection of
Lawful Commerce in Arms Act in the 108th
Congress, but that bill was not enacted into
law. I will keep your views in mind should
the Assault Weapons ban come to the floor.




Again, thanks for contacting me.
Please let me know if I can be of any help
to you in the future.

Sincerely,

Barbara A. Mikulski
United States Senator

P.S. If I can be of any further assistance
in the future, please visit my website at
http://mikulski.senate.gov or call my
Washington office at 202-224-4654.
 
Needs a compact, polite, and terse reply that states unequivocally that she does not support the second amendment, and you will now work tirelessly to make sure she is replaced by someone who actually respects the constitution.
 
Does not compute. How can you support the 2nd amendment while supporting capricious criminalization of cosmetic features on firearms?

Supports the use of firearms for self defense... but most of the firearms useful for self defense would be banned as assault weapons, no?

Thats all fine and good, but what these schmucks have to get throught their thick freakin' heads is that gun bans don't take guns "off the street", they only take them "out of the gunsafes of the law abiding"

and if you wish to respond to her, thats what I'd tell her.
 
The gun-banner in her certainly shows through. Get rid of inanimate objects to reduce crime!
We should confiscate/outlaw all nice cars and replace them with Yugo's to reduce car theft too! :rolleyes:
 
Dealing with Mikulski is like teaching the proverbial pig to sing....wastes your time and annoys the pig.

That's the EXACT same form letter that she sent out to everyone who sent her letters. She represents the worst of the worst of American politics....arrogant elitist who will only pursue her personal agenda regardless of what is in the best interests of her constituency. :fire:
 
beerslurpy,

We could unelect her if we could just convince Virginia to take over Prince George's and Montgomery Counties.....aside from those two jurisdictions and Baltimore City, MD is pretty much a conservative state. We had a great candidate against her this year for her seat and he still got crushed. Our other Senator, Sarbanes announced that he will not run next term and already the wolves are running in for the kill. Unfortunately, the pickings there aren't much better than Sarbanes.....in fact they are worse.
 
I got the same exact email response from her. It had been so long since I emailed HER, I thought it must be a joke or a virus.

8 months to respond to a constituent. Patheric for ANY elected official.
 
I got ANOTHER one of those letters yesterday.....she's so out of touch that I got two of those identical letters several months apart :confused:
 
So, reduced to actual content her letter says,,,

" A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, except for rifles with pistol grips, and pistols holding more than ten rounds."

That sounds like a common politicians opinion, substituting "except concealed pistols", or "excepting .50 caliber rifles", or maybe "except within three blocks of a school", depending on the politician.
 
Isn't MD great? If my whole life wasn't here, I would pack up and leave in a sec.

I could see someone like her, circa 1850, writing the following:

My support for limited and common sense people control, like slavery, does not diminish my support for human dignity and liberty.

Thanks for reminding me why I'll NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER (did I say never?) live in MD again.
 
Hollywood California Shootout

If I remember correctly, the big shootout in 1997 in Hollywood, California was almost right in the middle of the assault weapons ban years signed into law by Bill Clinton. Not only did these robbers have AK-47s (banned by the law) but they had FULLY AUTOMATIC AK-47s (banned since the 1930s???)...but, HEY, they were ROBBING A BANK!!!!! Duh-huh!!! Last I checked there's a ban against ROBBING BANKS too!!

Unless I'm mistaken, these rifles are manufacturered by Izhmash Arsenal (that AIN'T the USA by the way) used since 1947 by: Russia, China, East Germany, Yugoslavia, North Korea, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Angola, Benin, Bulgaria, Cape Verde, Chad, Comoros, Cuba, Egypt, Equatorial Guina, Grenada, Guinea, Guinea-Bisseau, Guyana, Indonesia, Laos, Sao Tome et Princepe, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Yemen, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Vietnam, Zimbabwe, (just to name a few) for almost 60 years!!! Hey...the freak'n world is FULL of the things.

Like I've said on another board, you ain't agonna stop gun smugglers from bringing these things into the USA or slow the distribution of them to criminals....I mean crap...look at the "war on drugs" that's been going on for over 30 years. Not a dent has been made in availibility and dogs can smell that crap for 100 ft. What about the meth labs? Now that crap STINKS from what I hear and see on TV....and they can't stop that. How are you gonna stop gun smugglers when oil-less, greaseless guns smell just like 99% of everything in your home and much easier to conceal than bails of pot or cocaine? Sheeeesh.....my freak'n head hurts...I need a BC Powder.
 
What i can't understand is that....

All these Mulkulski types always refer to the "assualt" weapons are so powerful and fire at such a rapid rate. When the fact is that the most common deer hunting rifle in the U.S. 30-06 is more powerful and you can certainly fire some "hunting" rifles at the exact same rate as these semi-auto "assualt" weapons. Anyone with half a brain can understand that most "assualt" type rifles use smaller, less powerful cartridges. And as far as high capacity goes.... Does it really matter I could go out and pluck off 5 people just easy and as fast with my hunting rifle as my AK. :banghead:

O well I been throwing my hands up all this time guess one more rant won't matter.

Last I read, 55 million full auto AK47s have been manufactured. Read that in some parts of Africa you can buy one for $20 US.

Things aren't going to get any better in Md for a long, long, long while. That's because DC is getting gentrified with all the low income, Democrat-voting black folks being forced out to Maryland. I've seen a remarkable amount of it even in N.E. DC. Look for Crazy Mfume to replace Sarbanes in the next election.

However, if you're talking realingment of the borders, then you folks can have Fairfax, Arlington, and Alexandria, we'll take Washington County Md and everything west out to Cumberland, and the Eastern Shore exclusive of Salisbury. :D

I gotta give it to her there. Assault weapons do not belong on the streets. They belong in gun safes, on the range, in the closet.......

Kick "Babs" out of office!!!!
