I'm in God's country(Wyoming), and both my senators wrote to tell me that they would fight to stop any gun ban, or other restrictions on our second amendment rights. It sounds like you need to work aq little harder around election time. These progressive liberals should all be sent home!

Epic, there is absolutely no logical reason for her to be back in Washington in the first place. Without warning, we woke up the day after the last election and found our leadership at the state and federal levels had been handed completely over to the ladies, all but one of whom is a Republican. Shea-Porter took back the seat the voters removed her from in the last election, which I found to be suspicious. NH has historically belonged to the Republicans, and the only explanation I can offer is that the number of liberal transplants, mostly from MA, have finally tipped the balance. In fact, many of our elected officials including the governor are wealthy libs from MA. It's an absolute tragedy.

Original Message Ruger should have gotten the same note. I participated in a collective grievance.

Dear Mr. XXXXXXX

Thank you for contacting me with your concerns about gun laws. I appreciate your thoughts and welcome the opportunity to respond.

The tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut was an unspeakable horror. My prayers are with the victims and their families, as well as the teachers and other public safety personnel who acted heroically to save lives.

In Newtown's aftermath, I pledged to work towards ending these mass shootings that shock America far too often. In New Hampshire, we have a proud tradition of responsible gun ownership. I appreciate the importance of this tradition and I strongly support the Second Amendment. I believe that we can protect our traditions and rights and also protect our citizens by enacting measures such as banning high capacity magazines, doing proper background checks, and closing loopholes. Indeed, a recent survey showed that seventy-four percent of current and former NRA members supported criminal background checks of anyone purchasing a gun. Information on this survey is available at Royters: www.XXXXXXX.com/article/2012/07/25/us-usa-shooting-denver-guns-idUSBRE86O02O20120725.

There are a number of pieces of legislation that have been introduced since the tragic events in Newtown, including the Firearm Safety and Public Health Research Act, a bill I have cosponsored that would allow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health to study the causes of gun violence. I also expect to see new legislation introduced in response to President Obama's speech and I will keep your thoughts in mind as Congress considers these proposals.

To learn about current legislation or about my voting record, I invite you to visit the Library of Congress legislative information website (www.thomas.gov). There, you can find the full text of a bill or a summary, who introduced it and when, who is cosponsoring it, and where it is in the legislative process. I also invite you to visit my website ( [link to shea-porter.house.gov)] for more information about bills that I have introduced or cosponsored, and for issue updates, position statements, or to sign up for my email newsletter. You can also connect with me by visiting my official Facebook page (www.facebook.com/RepSheaPorter) and Twitter feed ( [link to twitter.com]

Thank you again for contacting my office. It is a privilege to serve you in Washington.

Sincerely,

Carol Shea-Porter
Member of Congress
