I was solicited by Tom DeLay, majority whip in the House, for money to support pro Second Amendment Republicans. The recorded message sounded the NRA line of no more laws and prosecuting under the current laws.
When the lady came back on after words to ask me rhetorical questions. I didn't follow her lead. I told her that instead of prosecuting under the current laws, we need to get rid of all the gun laws. She said, "You would let murders have guns?" I said yes, as long as they committed no crimes with guns, why shouldn't they have one for their own protection? I then stated that I cannot trust Republicans or Democrats to protect my Second Amendment right. I have come to the conclusion that only the Libertarians are consistant in their philosophy and would protect my rights.
I then wrote a letter to my Representative referring to the DeLay solicitation and stating that people should be punished for the crime, not law-abiding citizens who use the same tools the criminal used. If you want to be consistant with restricting tools for murder, why not include knives, hammers, axes, etc., and of course don't forget hands.
Anyone else get this solicitation?
