Dear Senator Frosh,
I just finished watching WBAL Channel 11's broadcast regarding concealed carry laws in Maryland. In that broadcast, you are filmed stating the "average citizen" is wrong about the 2nd Amendment of the United States Constitution guaranteeing the right to possess a firearm.
As a Maryland resident, I am outraged at your disdain for the Bill Of Rights. As you are probably well aware of by now, The Washington DC Appellate Court has declared the firearms ban in the District as being unconstitutional. The people are speaking, Senator, and they are speaking loudly: we want the means to protect ourselves and our loved ones. As has been proven in court cases many times over, the responsibility of the police to guarantee an individuals safety does not exist. If your official standing is that the Constitution does not guarantee the individuals right to keep and bear arms, I strongly suggest to you taking a refresher course regarding the Constitutional law.
In states with conceal-carry laws, crime is actually lower, according to FBI statistics. Pennsylvania, Virginia, and many other states have a shall issue statute with regards to issuing permits, and their crime rates are significantly lower than those in Maryland.
Also, the slanderous comment regarding citizens that possess so-called "Assault Weapons" as being "nuts"? How did you come to the conclusion that individuals wishing to obtain these weapons are nuts? I don't recall insulting ones constituency as the best means of garnering votes.
To sum up my feelings regarding your stance regarding the citizens of Maryland and their desire to protect themselves (a right, by the way, guaranteed to them by the Constitution), I am appalled, mortified, and disgusted you were elected as a representative of these fine people. Be advised your comments will be remembered, especially around voting time.
Feel free to respond to me at the above address if you are so inclined.
