Here is the response for my letter concerning firearm ownership.
So who truly has our best interests in mind?
Dear Friend,
Thank you for contacting me about gun laws and the Second Amendment. I
appreciate hearing from you on this important issue. Americans broadly
agree that guns must be kept from those who may pose a threat, and that
the
rights of legitimate hunters and sportsmen should be protected.
We must work to ensure that guns do not fall into the hands of
criminals or
the mentally ill through an effective background check system. We also
have
to strike a reasonable balance between public safety and sportsmen's
rights.
I will continue to work for effective gun laws, including reinstatement
of
the assault weapons ban that the last Congress allowed to expire, and
effective law enforcement. I will also speak out against the culture of
violence that traps so many of our young people.
Thank you again for contacting me on this important issue.
Sincerely,
Barack Obama
