Starts in the homes when the woman is afraid of guns and makes the man sell them because they are afraid the baby will get hurt. Lets not think about trying to be a responsible parent and teach the kids that the firearms are dangerous but are only a tool. The teachers teach their liberal ways starting in kindergarten up through high school. Gets worse at the university level. People today are willing to trade away their rights for security when in reality as the Founding Fathers knew, the only security you have is your ability to protect yourself and your family and this was guaranteed by the Second Amendment. Our society is turning into one of not reaching out and trying to improve but one of government handouts and socalism. They have forgotten that the price of what they enjoy has been paid for not in mochas but in blood, not in fast food but c-rats and mre's. They have forgotten that the life they enjoy was earned by men and women carrying a firearm and that this country is the only one left in the world where the populus still has the ability to overthrow an oppressive government. "But this is America! My government will not turn on me and the police will always be around for protection and only the military should have guns." is the cry heard today. Are you really willing to take that chance by destroying the Second Amendment that the government won't turn on you? Are you so sure the police will protect you that you can walk at night in any of the major cities and be safe? Are you so sure that the military won't try and overtake a government and people not armed and declare martial law across the land? Why risk any of this. Just support the Second Amendment.

Want a laugh? Ask some of the people on the street with their pants down around the crack of their a## where Iraq is and see what they say.

1st 1022 reply back as follows.... A nice Demo-gal it seems~ I'm Impressed. If I could only change the 2 hispanic demos I would feel somewhat better.

Dear Mr. XXXXXX

Thank you for contacting me about your concerns regarding gun ownership in our country. As a gun owner myself, I am a strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment. The Constitution is clear on this issue: we have the right to bear arms.

I own a gun because I believe in the right of every American to have guns for self-defense and hunting. All gun owners have a responsibility to handle their guns safely. That's why I support gun safety legislation that sets minimum regulations for safety locks and removes unsafe locks from the market.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about gun ownership with me. It is truly an honor to serve and represent you. Please don't hesitate to call my offices with any issues or concerns, and feel free to sign up for e-mail updates at www.giffords.house.gov.




Sincerely,
Gabrielle Giffords
Member of Congress
