And here is a sample letter you can use, found on http://www.oa2.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5682&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0


To (fill in names of Reps and Senators):

I am a taxpaying, law-abiding citizen, a voter, and a gun owner. I expect you, as my representative in Washington, to uphold not only the letter but also the spirit of the Second Amendment. The right to keep and bear arms is essential to our continued freedom, both as a nation and as a people.

If you are at all familiar with firearms, then you will know that the new ban that is being proposed (H.R. 1022) is absolutely & completely without merit . As in the previous failed ban, the restrictions are entirely cosmetic, and will in no way stop the use of weapons of any kind among the criminal element. This ban would restrict the free exercise of law abiding citizens’ rights simply because of the fear and ignorance of a vocal minority.

Gun bans only hinder law-abiding citizens, not criminals.

You have an opportunity to stand up for the rights of your constituents, the people who voted for you. I urge you, please do not let fear and ignorance sway your decision. There are far more supporters of gun rights (the right to own your choice of guns) than those opposed. We, as responsible gun owners, do not appreciate being told that our exercise of our rights is immoral or terroristic simply because of the appearance of our chosen weapons.

I, and millions of others, are watching your action on this matter. My vote for you hinges on your support for the Second Amendment.

Sincerely,

(will add personal info to the letter)
