From my Senator,
Thank you for contacting me with your view regarding gun control and the Second Amendment. First, my thoughts and prayers go out to the families of those who lost their life in the tragedy that took place in Connecticut. However, taking rights away from responsible citizens will not prevent future horrific events from happening.
The Obama Administration's recently announced plan amounts to a power grab in my opinion. I will fight any legislation that further restricts qualified owners' access to guns. I am also against the President using executive orders to circumvent the will of the people and infringe on the constitutional rights of my constituents.
The right to bear arms is guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the Constitution, and I am a consistent supporter of that right. I believe that violent crime must be reduced, but I will not support measures that infringe upon the Constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens.
I support an individual's right to defend themselves, their family, and their property with a legally obtained firearm. This right is put in jeopardy by those advocating stricter control measures. The gun control movement hurts law-abiding citizens and businesses, not the criminals who care nothing for the law. I believe we can better reduce the misuse of firearms by strongly enforcing laws already on the books and maintaining responsible judiciaries.
Again, thank you for contacting me. Please let me know how I may be of further assistance to you.
Sincerely,
Joe Barton
Member of Congress

Update: heard back from Claire McCaskill today. Seems she supports renewing an AWB, and going for universal background checks, but claims she will protect the rights of citizens to keep "appropriate " weapons. She also said she hoped the NRA would be "reasonable."
I would have to be surprised, in order to be disappointed...

Thanks for the link. Here in AZ things are mostly normal. But we did just recently elect a left wing nutjob...

I got a more detailed response from Marco Rubio. I would have wished for it to be stronger, but I think it's still pro our side.
Dear Mr. Hudson,
Thank you for writing to me regarding the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut. I share your concern for the victims of this tragedy.
My heart breaks for the victims and families impacted by this senseless act of violence. In a world that can at times be defined by its darkness, children are a reminder of what is good, cheerful and beautiful about life. An act of violence against these defenseless young people, as well as the faculty and staff who dedicate themselves daily to educating and caring for them, is a deed of unconscionable evil. I pray that God holds Newtown close as the community continues to heal from this tragedy.
In the aftermath of this unspeakable tragedy, like millions of Americans, I am looking for public policy changes that might prevent such a horrible event from happening again. I continue to be a strong supporter of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which guarantees citizens the right to safely and responsibly bear arms. At the same time, I have always been open to measures that would keep guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill. In light of this horrible tragedy, I am open to new ideas to prevent mass tragedies like this from happening again.
It is an honor and a privilege to serve as your United States Senator. I appreciate your concern regarding this situation. If I can ever be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Marco Rubio
United States Senator

MLeake said:Saxby Chambliss was consistently pro-gun while I lived in Georgia. The response you received is similar to responses I received over the years.
I certainly hope so. Some of my more paranoid friends are worried that with Saxby's announced resignation today, he might vote for the ban or other such measures. Don't know though.
Here's what I got from Barbara Boxer;
Here's to hoping...
