Dear xxxxxxx,
Thank you for writing to me on this important issue.
I anticipate that several legislators will put forward bills during the 2013
session that address public safety and firearms, as well as mental health. It is
important that we continue this conversation. The tragedies at Newtown, CT and
in Clackamas Town Center have provided a painful reminder of the importance of
creating safe environments for families, children and educators.
I am committed to working with constituents and stakeholders in this legislative
session to find sensible solutions that keep our communities safe while being
respectful of rights protected by the constitution. I urge you to remain engaged
with the legislative process as discussions about these bills move forward. I
will keep your thoughts in mind should these bills come before me for a vote.
Thank you again for your time and input.

State Senator, Dist. 6

Senator Beyer:
Dear Sir,
I find the transparently biased anti-gun media blitz in the wake of Sandy
Hook disgusting. History shows that mass murder doesn't require a 30 round
magazine or a bayonet lug or even a foward grip. In 1966 a mentally ill
man climbed a tower in Texas and killed 14 and wounded 32 others with a
deer rifle. The D.C. sniper may have used an AR15 I don't know but a bolt
action would have been more accurate. A sawed off pump shot gun could be
as deadly as a semi automatic assault weapon in an enclosed classroom. Of
course in the Oklahoma City bombing no guns were required.
All this debate about stepping all over the 2nd Amendment has only
increased gun sales. Now a record number of people who would not have
otherwise, have purchaced a firearm for the first time in a panic.
Please just enforce the existing laws and deal with mental illness!
Quit punishing the law abiding gun owners with feel good measures put out
by Dianne Feinstein and her ilk. California is becoming a failed state.
Why are we listening to them?
In closing I would like to say that all this has turned me into a one
issue voter.
Sincerely,
Mxxxxxxxxxx
