Florida

[RPB]

I just got an e-mail from a Untied States Senator from Florida... not even addressing the issue I pointed out to him, but thought you may want to see it.

Thank you for contacting me regarding your concerns about gun control. I support the constitutional right to bear arms. I grew up on a ranch in the Florida countryside and have been a hunter since I was a boy.
(RPB's note ... here is the "BUT"...)
I also support efforts to reduce gun violence and promote firearms safety. We should close the gun show loophole and take other steps to ensure that felons are not allowed to buy firearms. Running background checks on prospective gun purchasers is a practical way to ensure that guns do not fall into the wrong hands without unreasonably burdening citizens' 2nd amendment rights.

You can be sure that I will keep your thoughts in mind whenever firearms issues are considered by the Senate. I appreciate your letter. Your communications helps me serve you better.

Sincerely,
Senator Bill Nelson

other steps?

I love what they don't say ... private sales will need background checks and paperwork and to pay the tax ... to sell a pistol to your son when he reaches legal age ...

I have a certificate of live birth from Kwik Copy in Houston, Texas ... obviously I was born, and I'm still alive, so I must have been born alive, hence, a certificate of live birth, and from Houston, Texas.
