She is interested in "dialog" but my disagreement with her position is totally ignored. I am so "surprised" by this.

The "only" solution is to strengthen gun laws. How about enforcing the existing ones, and prosecuting those involved in fast & furious?

Yes, I know, preaching to the choir here.

Her letter follows:

 Thank you for contacting me about the tragic and senseless violence in Newtown, Connecticut. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and concerns with me.

If there is anything that deeply unites Americans across the country it is our love for our children and grandchildren and our desire to keep them safe. In the wake of the heartbreaking tragedy at Sandy Hook elementary, all of us must come together to determine what steps can be taken to protect our children. That means discussing how we can strengthen our gun laws to help stop attacks like this from happening again, while protecting responsible gun ownership and preserving our hunting heritage. It also means strengthening mental health services, and focusing on the broader culture of violence in the media and our society. These solutions may not be easy, but one thing should be clear – complacency and inaction until the next attack must not be an option.

Thank you again for contacting me. Please continue to keep me informed about issues of concern to you and your family.
Sincerely,
Debbie Stabenow
United States Senator

I carry a gun because a Police Officer is too heavy.

Yup I got the same one also. Just a copy paste that one of her staff send out as I'm sure she does not read our emails.

To be fair, I don't think it's logistically possible for a Senator to individually reply to every email/phone call they get. Take Michigan for example, with 10,000,000 residents, if only 3% of the population emailed her she would have to respond to 300,000 emails. If she spends only 1 minute per email to respond it would take 24 hours a day for 208 days to respond to all of them. Just sayin'

At least that would keep her busy so she can't do any further damage in Washington.

Yeah I got the same one too.... I'm sure she'll be joining Carl Levin in Co-sponsoring the crazy bill that Feinstein introduced yesterday.

I'm writing everyone including Santa Claus hopefully we'll defeat this insane crap.
I carry a firearm because their are real threats in the world and when seconds count; the Police are minutes away!

I just got a reply from Sen. Levin "Re: Your Concerns", and it is in response to the budget issue. It is also an obvious form letter. Surprised that there is no response to my others I sent him on pending legislation about guns. I wonder if we've maybe overwhelmed the ability of his staff to keep up?  :D
