Bad Bribes

" As an added incentive, the school district invites Douglas County Sheriff's deputies into their schools for free lunch. The district picks up the $2.75 tab."

Every cop i ever knew was a cheap bastard , but  i don't know of any that stoop to the level of a free school lunch  as a bribe to show up  LOL

Dear Mr. FarmDad,
 
Thank you for contacting me regarding the 2nd Amendment. I appreciate you taking the time to write. It is an honor to serve you in Congress and I hope you will continue to write with your thoughts and ideas on moving our country forward. 
 

Following the unthinkable atrocities committed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, a number of legislators have introduced measures to regulate access and possession of firearms for U.S. citizens. Some of these measures include requiring face-to-face purchase of ammunition, assault weapons bans, and mandating background checks for all purchases - including private sales. While the Connecticut tragedy and others like it must not be ignored, I do not believe additional gun 
control would have prevented the s e occurrence s . I do not think it is prudent nor within the bounds of the Constitution to limit our 2nd Amendment rights. This country has a centuries-long history of responsible and safe gun ownership by private citizens—we should not undermine this overwhelmingly sensible past by crafting legislation in response to the actions of a few. We must act in ways to prevent gun violence by making sure laws are enforced, addressing critical needs in mental health and treatment, and promot ing a national dialogue that ensures we identify violent actors before they do harm. 

Our Founding Fathers understood the importance of an armed and capable citizenry, enshrining that idea in the 2nd Amendment to our Constitution. Millions of Americans exercise this freedom without harming their neighbors, families, and friends and with no criminal intent. Unfortunately, a small minority do not abide by this constitutional right in the way it was intended. While our dedication to constitutional liberties is sound, we must ensure the same strength for our country's mental health facilities. In a discussion about gun rights, it is important to remember that providing necessary and improved resources to these facilities will help decrease the likelihood of similar future events. We must act to reduce and prevent these tragedies, while not interfering with the 2nd Amendment. 


In response to the Connecticut shootings, the President 
has proposed executive orders to employ more expedient gun control measures. Such executive action on this issue  is unprecedented I believe in a deliberative legislative approach to this issue, not a presidential edict. It is important to understand the long, peaceful history of gun owners in this country while we work to reduce the number of horrific shooting crimes like we witnessed in Connecticut and in Colorado this summer. Please be assured that I will keep your thoughts in mind as we consider legislation concerning the 2nd Amendment in the 113th Congress.
 

Again, thank you for contacting me, and do not hesitate to do so again when an issue is important to you. 
 

Sincerely,

Can you guess  who might stand a chance of getting my vote  ?

Colorado Sheriffs Position

I received this via email  and have  not  confirmed it as authentic  but  thought it worth posting .

   CSOC Paper by  


If  this is in fact a true and accurate copy ,  it is the last thing  the legislature  wants to see or see distributed widely .  In my mind  it is consistent  with the views of  Colorado Sheriffs  I know personally .

Not thinking things through

Of late a lot of conversation has centered around a rifle ban , or a magazine limit . Folks  those items are incidental things that the statist league  really doesn't care about  or expect to get .  Items simply included for them to have something to give up in negotiation so both sides can appear " reasonable " Fools gold so to speak for supposedly pro gun politicians  to brag about blocking  .

The  real danger here as I see it , and their aim is for  the " universal background check "   , and then of course a database  to " aid Law Enforcement  in tracking Crime Guns " .   Its on its face  gun registration ( their damned wet dream )  and they are soft selling the hell out of it as " reasonable "  and a " compromise ".  Even if they don't get the database right now  it still creates a 4473  for every gun sold , easily accessible , and easily seizable by the government at any time they decide  .

When you call your  representatives don't allow yourself to be side tracked into  taking assurances  that they will fight a ban ,  make them tell you  ( or not, which is answer enough  ) that they will fight any change to the background system we have now .   If its not working then it needs repealed not " fixed"  .
