David Vitter response email

[Dgraham225]

Well got my response, it is worded exactly how I hoped it would be.

Dear Mr. Graham,*Thank you for contacting me*to voice your opposition to new gun control laws in response to the recent school shootings in Connecticut and California.* I appreciate hearing your views, and I agree with you.**In the wake of*these tragedies,*many in Washington are calling*for increased restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms, arguing that it will help to reduce gun violence.* For example, Senator Feinstein*(D-CA)*has announced plans to*reintroduce a ban on assault weapons and to limit magazine capacity.*Also,*President Obama has*signed 23 executive actions*and has called on Congress to pass legislation, including background checks for all firearms sales.* However, as many supporters of the Second Amendment have pointed out, increased restrictions do little to affect the actions of criminals, who by definition do not abide by the law.* Instead, they restrict the rights of law-abiding Americans.*I*am a firm believer and ardent supporter of the rights enshrined in the Second Amendment.*This constitutional right, and our heritage of using firearms for sporting and self-defense purposes, does*not have to be sacrificed to reduce gun-related violence.*Instead, we should focus on enforcing the extensive laws already in place and turn our attention to*more appropriate measures,*such as*increasing*the safety of our schools and keeping*guns out of the hands of those who may be mentally incapable of*owning*them*responsibly.*Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts on this important issue. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future about other issues important to you and your family.*

Hey, I got that letter too.

[sarcasm] I thought he wrote it just for me.

I feel left out, I didn't get one and I emailed him... Maybe mines in the mail... Email that is.

It'd be interesting to see the response if someone were to contact him appealing to gun control.

That would be interesting... To she if he "sticks to his guns" [pun intended] or if he indicates he would be "open" to gun control.

Counter productive though. You counter one of our emails if someone there is keeping score.

Haha, same. I considered it more for wondering what Landrieu would say over Vitter because I expect Vitter to be on our side and Landrieu to sell us out. Landrieu's response made it seem like she was open to more gun control.
