Mr Lieberman,
I thought I'd let you in on some correspondence between myself and Bob Simmons. My reply to his email comes first:
Dear Bob,
You are a breath of fresh air sir. I recently, once again, wrote Mr Lieberman with my concerns on HIS stance on gun control hoping that maybe he'd be modifying a bit now that he is now longer obligated to the Democrats. Once again I received no reply. That has been his response to all my emails on the subject over the last few years. You can count on my vote once again. If you run into Mr Schlesinger please tell him I for one was very impressed with his showing against the other two. He can count on my vote as well. I wish you both luck.
Sincerely,
280plus

Dear 280:
Knowing your support for maintaining our Second Amendment rights, I wanted to update you on my work in Congress.
Like you I strongly believe in the protection of personal liberties, which include the right of law-abiding citizens to own firearms. While we all support taking steps to reduce gun violence, I do not believe this is best addressed through imposing increased regulations and restrictions upon law-abiding gun owners.
As your Congressman I have worked hard to protect Connecticut's gun owners' Second Amendment rights. In fact, I have recently voted in favor of several important proposals to do so, including:
* H.R. 5092 the “Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) Modernization and Reform Act." This legislation will amend federal regulations on the suspension and revocation of gun sellers' licenses to distinguish between minor and serious violations, and sets penalties based on severity;
* H.R. 5013, the “Disaster Recovery Personal Protection Act," which will bar the seizure of lawfully possessed firearms during a major disaster -- ensuring that Second Amendment rights cannot be unilaterally suspended by local officials;
* S. 397, the "Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act," which will shield gun manufacturers from being sued when individuals misuse their products. You will be pleased to know that that important legislation has been signed into law by President Bush.
Rest assured, as your Congressman I will continue to support legislation that protects and preserves the rights of America's law-abiding gun owners.
Thanks for taking the time to read this update. Please stay in touch.
All the best,
Rob Simmons
