email to Sen. Cornyn (TX):
Dear Sen. Cornyn,
I refer to your form letter regarding
further danger to our Second Amendment gun rights through Pres. Obama's efforts
to stack the DC Circuit Court with judges favorable to his opinions. Of the 13
federal appellate courts,the D.C. Circuit stands out as the most powerful due to
its jurisdiction over regulatory and constitutional matters. You said you are a strong supporter of the Second Amendment, and you believe it is
essential to safeguard the law-abiding citizen's constitutional right to own and
use firearms. To restrict that right would be to undermine the intent of our
Founding Fathers, who expressly guaranteed citizens the right to keep and bear
arms. That is why you have opposed attempts in the Senate to undermine gun
rights, including the confirmation of judicial nominees who do not hold the
proper view of the Second Amendment.
This is an ongoing fight with the
Democrats, who want to disarm the public so that in the event of a political
revolution, the public will be unable to use firearms to defend themselves
against a completely autocratic, shall I say communistic, government.
In
spite of the terminology of the Second Amendment, which says that the
individuals rights to bear arms shall not be INFRINGED, those rights have
already been substantially infringed. This has primarily been done by a
requirement of licensing to carry a concealed weapon, which has been further
interpreted as a restriction to carrying an unconcealed weapon. Every little
further restrictive addition is not only unconstitutional, but likely to be
accepted by government in the same way that licensing has been imposed.
I
strongly suggest you keep up the good fight to avoid subsequent restrictions on
the public bearing arms, and also not to forget that licensing is an
infringement, which is contrary to the Second Amendment, and such infringement
should be eliminated.
