I wrote my Congressman about HR 1022 asking him to vote against it if it were to get out of committee. I was pleasantly surprised when he responded back. One thing I noticed is the name of the bill, H.R. 1022, the Assault Weapons Ban and Law Enforcement Protection Act of 2007. I guess that is how they will try to get support!



Dear David :



I would like to thank you for contacting me regarding H.R. 1022, the Assault Weapons Ban and Law Enforcement Protection Act of 2007. Your views on this matter are very important to me.



As you may know, the ten year ban on the manufacture, transfer or possession of semi-automatic assault weapons and large capacity ammunition feeding devices expired on September 13, 2004. Since this time, several bills have been introduced to reinstate this ban, including H.R. 1022. I am a firm supporter of the second amendment, and I understand your objections to this ban on certain semi-automatic weapons and larger magazines. Please rest assured that I will keep your views firmly in mind as this important matter is discussed in U.S. House of Representatives.



Again, thank you for taking the time to contact me on this important issue. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future should you need any further assistance.


Sincerely,

John Carter
Member of Congress

Later,
