The text of my letter (Federal Version):

I am writing you today to voice my opposition to any new "gun control" legislation. As you are probably aware, criminals, BY DEFINITION, do not obey the law. Therefore, it stands to reason that any new restrictions on firearms would only be heeded by those already inclined to abide by the law. Thus, new laws would have essentially no effect on crime rates. Please do not seek to capitalize on the tragedies of the last several months to further a demonstrably failed policy. I ask instead that you choose to uphold the oath you swore to "protect and defend the Constitution", including the Second Amendment. I am an unaffiliated voter, and pay close attention to how my representatives align themselves with the issues. Rest assured, I, and many like me will concentrate considerable resources to defeat in the next election those that attempt to abridge our freedoms. Conversely, we will support those that choose to be representatives of their constituents, as well as holding steadfast to the values that our Founding Fathers held dear.


Thank you for your time and attention.
