Diana DeGette's response

Thank you for voicing your concern with this very important issue. Unfortunately, your view on the 2nd amendment and what you are entitled to is quite wrong. As an individual not in my district, I don't represent you, and will continue to hold my stance on limiting these assault weapons high capacity clips.

I'm not in her district, but what I am entitled to is PROPER RESPECT from my EMPLOYEE. She was elected to represent the best interests of her constituency, NOT to advance her personal agenda at the expense of the Constitution that she swore an oath to defend. In order to effectively represent those that she works for, it is her duty to assess objectively the information that is available on the issue, and then represent the best interests of her district. We need to organize a strong effort to remove this conceited elitist charlatan from office.

The Bill of Rights does NOT "entitle" me to anything. It restricts the government from encroaching on my natural rights.

I think Degette is a contemptible irrational ideologue with astoundingly uninformed, illogical and idiotic views of the Constitution but to be fair to her, she's right in that she is supposed to represent people in her district and you should be writing to your own Congressman. What we need to do is show her constituents why she is wrong and have them write to her (and hopefully vote to replace her in 2 years).

Start arresting them for Treason and attacks on the Constitution of The United States...

Who starts arresting them? The government? The government isn't going to use its own forces against one of their own, maybe later they'll turn on her if she falls out of favor.

And This. Is this not the duty of every patriot, in the context of a well-regulated militia?

I wonder how long I would end up in jail if I put her under citizens arrest for treason against the United States, and then called the FBI to come pick her up.

It is. It's also the duty of the military to act independently in removing her from office. That's why these assholes have no fear, it's because they are allowed to run wild.

The jail or the morgue. If I thought I could get away with this by myself, she (and the rest like her) would already be booked.

2) There is a bit of trolling going on with these proposals. It isn't getting though the house, she knows that. But she gets a smile every time some gun nut sends her an email. If she cannot get the law changed at least she can piss some people off.

Don't say anything to her, remind the speaker to not let it on the floor.

This...

I would however suggest that maybe next time she has a press conferance in say, 5 points, someone needs to ask her if she upholds the ideals of Margret Sanger. Of course I'm sure the question would go over the heads of her supporters.
