Mayors for gun control want us to weigh in on this and show our lack of support for their new gun laws, so we should oblige them and make it happen. Let them know we don't take kindly to having our 2nd Amendment Rights robbed. www.popvox.com/bills/us/113/x101

Oppose Common Sense Legislation to End Gun Violence
Dear your representatives:
I oppose Common Sense Legislation to End Gun Violence.
I also find the name of this proposed legislation to be coercive. Support for any legislation should come from the will of the people for their true beliefs, not based on an antagonistic title. It also suggests that those of us who are not in support of this legislation lack common sense, which is also untrue.
There should be a factual basis for the laws of our nation. Certainly based on more substantive evidence rather than the subjective considerations of learned people who are attempting to quell a public emotional response.
Legislation prohibiting the sale or possession of what are considered military style features, on any firearm, in the hopes of stemming off criminal activity lacks factual basis.
What truly needs further address is the broken criminal justice system which boasts tremendous recidivism rates in many areas, particularly those involved in violent felonies. In addition, those who are dangerous by virtue of mental illness are responsible for their actions, just as any other citizen of this country.
Restricting the rights of law abiding citizens is wrong.
Making ordinary people criminals is wrong."
Think they'll read them..? I had to try...
