I keep seeing you all reference posts by JRS, but I do not see them. This leads me to believe I must have blocked him long ago. Appears to have been a good choice.
I sent a message to my representative here in Idaho, but I would assume he's received many so mine may not get a response.
As most of you have said already, this is another, very pointed, attempt to seize the ability of the honest gun owner to defend themselves. As long as there are thousands of us out there doing the right thing with firearms there is no traction for the left to say all gun owners are bad. Remove the law abiding from the equation and the argument carries much more weight. I may only be 40, but I have seen enough in the short time I've been paying attention to understand the tactic.
There is a disturbing trend in America right now. It seems that there is a conscious effort to reach for "Social Justice" rather than "Justice". There is an eerie feeling that just as Hitler whipped Germany into a frenzy to remove the money hording Jews the left is whipping the lawless into a frenzy to remove the "privileged" whites. If we do not get Trump in November we are headed for civil war of a different sort. It won't be so much of battle lines and strategy as it will be defending your home and family when the mob comes for you. I hate to even put voice to this thought, but it's an inevitable conclusion following what has transpired over the last eight years. Bussing in paid protestors to the houses of bank CEO's and killing police in the streets is just the beginning. I may need to see the tailor for a new fitting of my tin foil hat, but that's how I see it progressing.
I beg of you, if you are reading this and have not sent a message to your elected representative, reach out now and let your voice be heard.
