He is spreading the battlefield line of trash. Which once they get that foot in the door your 30-06 or 7mm is looking a lot like a sniper rifle. IF the part I put in Italics is true then we need to work Udall hard, let him know we don't want any of this BS.
If you haven't contacted your reps, please do so.

Dear xxxx,
Thank you for contacting me regarding Second Amendment rights. I appreciate that you took the time to write on this important topic.
Responsible gun ownership is an integral part of our Western heritage. The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides for an individual right, and I am dedicated to protecting the rights of citizens to own firearms for personal protection, hunting, collecting or for other legal purposes.
We can all agree that the shootings at Columbine High School; Virginia Tech; in Aurora; Tucson, AZ; Newtown, CT and other instances in which terrible crimes have been committed with guns are national tragedies that should concern us all. No single policy is going to be adequate in preventing gun tragedies in the future. We need comprehensive solutions that examine our culture's glorification of violence, the effectiveness of our laws, our ability to enforce those laws and access to firearms, especially those designed for the battlefield. We must do everything we can - consistent with the Second Amendment - to keep weapons out of the hands of criminals, the mentally ill and those who would turn them against their community. As legislation related to Second Amendment rights is debated, I will carefully examine its intentions and impacts and use your thoughts to help guide me.
I will continue to listen closely to what you and other Coloradans have to say about matters before Congress, the concerns of our communities, and the issues facing Colorado and the nation. My job is not merely about supporting or opposing legislation, but also about bridging the divide that has paralyzed our nation's politics. For more information about my positions and to learn how my office can assist you, please visit my website at www.markudall.senate.gov.
Warm regards,
Mark Udall
U.S. Senator, Colorado
I have extensive experience on the "battlefield" with over 26 years of service in the U.S. Army. The firearms I was issued and used in combat are not the same as the weapons they keep ranting about. The "battlefield" weapon I used in combat was full-automatic. I could squeeze the trigger and more than one round would fire until I released the trigger. Not one rifle that I have purchased for my individual use has that ability. My semi-automatic rifle is NOT a firearm designed for a battlefield and to imply it is, well, is just a blatant lie intended to mislead and scare the public.Quote:
