Honored Senators,
I have watched with considerable disappointment and disbelief as 7 new "gun control" measures have made their way to the floor of the Senate. I have watched as emotion and the need to "do something" to appease the collective need to "feel good" have trumped logic and solid statistical data, as well as the expert testimony of Sheriffs, industry experts, and former victims of assaults, all of which spoke to the general ineffectiveness and potential damage of the measures being considered. It remains a fact that the laws currently being legislated will only serve to criminalize law abiding citizens, drive up to 1000 jobs out of the state, and drain the resources of law enforcement agencies in an attempt to enforce these poorly written, ill considered bills. I urge you to consider carefully the unintended consequences of these bills before you cast your vote. I am an independent voter, voting for people, not parties, but this affront to our Constitutionally guaranteed rights will NOT be ignored. I, and many, many like minded individuals will work to support those that support our rights, and to remove those from office that choose to infringe upon those rights.
For those of you that have shown support for our rights, you have my heartfelt thanks and support.
For those that think they can "grant" or remove our rights, I would advise you to review the Constitution of the United States, as well as the Colorado Constitution. Governments do not grant rights, they are restricted from infringing on those that are universal and preexisting to ALL citizens of a free state.
Respectfully,
James Fleischaker
