Latest letter from Andre Carson

[Dorky_D]

I got this in response to a letter I sent him. I think it is either comical and/or sad he talks about "most American gun owners register their weapons".

"Thank you for contacting me to voice your concerns about the protection of the Second Amendment. The opinions and concerns of my fellow Hoosiers are essential to the decision making process as a Member of Congress.
As a former law enforcement officer, I respect the constitutionally guaranteed right of all Americans to bear arms and believe that it should be protected. Most American gun owners register their weapons, follow all necessary safety precautions, and use them only as tools for protection or recreation. However, the United States has an unacceptably high level of gun crime. I believe that strong restrictions must be enacted to protect both the public and the Second Amendment rights of all Americans.
I appreciate hearing your thoughts on this important issue and I hope you will continue to contact my office on future issues. I encourage you to visit my website at http://carson.house.gov where you can view the latest news and updates about pertinent issues and legislation important to you, or follow me on Twitter @RepAndreCarson. You may also sign up for my weekly e-newsletter The Carson Courier to receive periodic updates on my activities in Indianapolis and in Washington, D.C. As always, my staff and I are here to serve you. Please feel free to contact me if we ever can be of further assistance to you.

Talk about some epic double speak. How do you protect a right by enacting laws to restrict said right? Thats like saying "Im going to pass a law to restrict trans fats in order to protect the rights of the public as well as your right to eat what you choose."

LIE

WRONG

It's hard to believe someone with a functional fore brain wrote that self-contradicting statement.

Strong restrictions have worked very well haven't they Mr. Carson. Funny that "strong restrictions" only hurt honest people and protect criminals who don't follow the restrictions to begin with. That is why they are called criminals Mr. Carson.

His grandma would be proud... ugh!

If a slew of black Blazers appear on your lawn and a bunch of huge guys in black outfits break through your windows and doors, figure Mr. Carson didn't take your response too kindly.

Andre Carson has no doubt had several less than cordial messages relating to RKBA including one from me. He's an Obama lap dog who was elected because his grandmother had the political rails greased beyond belief in Indy. As for his LEO experience, he was a state excise officer who may or may not have earned a coveted attendance star. The contact I had at the state advised he was a joke among his peers. My reply called him out about his stance on 2A and his LEO career. Don't expect a response.

Every time I write a letter to my Representatives I get this exact same letter reply from him. It hasn't changed in a long time now. It's just a ridiculous form letter to those dumb enough to add implied sincerity.

Lets review how the "Strong" restrictions have worked in Chicago.

If they're going to recycle it, shouldn't they hire a high school English student to write a decent letter? They can still tell the same lies, but that thing is poorly constructed.

I fully agree but they take for granted those that know no different and don't respect those that do.

 

[funeralweb]

Given the high numbers of voting-aged constituents in his district who fall to voting-aged-constituent on voting-aged-constituent gun violence, I'm sure the good birthright congressional representative is sincere in his efforts to enact legislation to preserve his voter base' longevity. Think of the double savings by preserving lives on one side and the voting rights of all those would-be felons on the other.

 

[Bennettjh]

What a sack of crap.

 

[Tanfodude]

He might be right about most that registered their weapon, especially those title 2 ones.

AMEN!!!!! But not sure Grandma was any smarter.......

War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength

2nd amendment is gun control

 

[eric001]

Quite the pair... Rachel Dolezal lies about being black, and Andre Carson lies about everything else. These two sound like a perfect match.

Carson/Dolezal 2020?

I recommend that we all send him a letter of unappreciation for this. Perhaps if we overwhelm him with some 2a love, he may be at least less likely to give us this double talk crap! Use the link in my signature.
