Dear Representative _____:
As your constituent in ______ County, specifically of the town of ______, NC, I am writing to request you vote against the following bill:
https://webservices.ncleg.net/ViewBillDocument/2019/289/0/DRH10046-ML-28
I do not agree with any gun control measures as they are an affront to my rights as an American citizen, recognized specifically by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. As the owner of firearms and accessories specified in this bill, I do not appreciate the accusation that I will use these items to do harm that many gun control bills tend to suggest. I and other law-abiding Americans hold that our right to firearm purchasing, possession and usage should not and cannot be limited to those firearms or accessories deemed publicly tasteful, and that gun control legislation that targets firearms based on common features (semiautomatic operation, pistol grips, muzzle devices, etc) is both unfair and destined to be ineffective at curbing the problems the legislation was intended to address. I believe that any and all measures that would attempt to restrict the right of the American citizen to have any firearm, regardless of make, model or accessory, should be rejected on principle, and I request that you take my feelings as your constituent to heart when voting on this bill and others like it.
Likewise, I further wish to state that not only do I believe any gun control measures should be thwarted, but that the right to bear arms has been sufficiently reduced from the original intent of our Founding Fathers, as to promote a state of need to repeal existing anti-firearm-rights legislation. Any and all previous or standing assault weapons bans should be lifted. NFA restrictions on short barreled rifles/shotguns, suppressors, and automatic/select-fire firearms should be repealed, along with the act itself. On the state level, I request work toward expanding the rights of North Carolinians on the state level through expanded rights for concealed carrying of firearms, and any other measures pro-gun-rights organizations such as Gun Owners of America might suggest. I do not want expanded background checks. I definitely do not want there to be a database of gun owners that can be checked against. I fear that such databases will be used to deny individuals of basic human rights, due process and needed medical treatments. I do not want a waiting period on firearm purchases, nor the restriction of private/person-to-person firearm transfers, either. These and all other anti-gun motions like them are an affront to my right as an American citizen, and I request that my sentiments be considered as you move into the coming Congressional sessions.
Thank you for your time and consideration as my representative in dealing with this bill and other gun control matters. This is an issue of great importance to me. I believe that the right to bear arms shall not and should not be infringed, and wish to live in a state where that right is respected, uplifted, and appreciated.
Sincerely,
______________
