A while back I wrote my senator Fred Thompson a letter concerning my opposition for further gun control. Today I got a response and I'm proud to say Sen Thompson is 100% pro-gun.
Here is an exert from the letter.
"Evidence does not suggest that gun bans reduce the crime rate. Furthermore, I do not think we should breach the constitutional right of Americans to own firearms."
Tompson continues by stating that laws were already broken in many of the shootings such as columbine and that more laws would have had no effect. He then further discusses why he votes against further gun legislation and gives specific examples, he even sent a transcipt of his opposition to a gun control measures proposed in some of the bills before congress. Im proud to have a senator with common sense who is willing to fight for our rights.
