Your message arguing against common-sense gun regulation came just days before 26 people were slaughtered at a church by gun violence. In any other country on earth, this would be a national tragedy, because most countries on earth regulate firearms in a sensible way. In America, it's just another day in the life, where anyone and everyone has to fear being massacred by gun violence in any public space they enter.

 

You base this message on the idea that "Criminals and Terrorists do not purchase their firearms legally from gun stores." This sentence is absolutely false. Just one month ago, the worst mass shooting in our history was perpetrated by a man wielding legally purchased firearms. It comes one year after the previous worst mass shooting in American history, once again perpetrated by a man with legally purchased weapons.

 

The City of Chicago just released its "gun trace report". More than half of the guns recovered at crime scenes over the past 4 years have been purchased legally. More than 20% were purchased in Indiana, a state with extremely lax gun laws.

 

Just a few months ago, Congressman Steve Scalise and several others were shot on a baseball field with legally purchased weapons: http://abcnews.go.com/US/guns-mass-shootings-obtained-legally-including-congressional-baseball/story?id=48055331

 

In 2016, 3 police officers were killed in Baton Rouge with a legally purchased weapon: http://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article159145529.html

 

In 2016, 5 police officers were killed walking in a parade in Dallas with a legally purchased weapon: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/07/12/dallas-police-killer-reportedly-bought-weapons-legally.html

 

In 2016, 6 people were killed in a Kalamazoo parking lot by a shooter with a legally purchased weapon: http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/23/us/kalamazoo-michigan-shootings/index.html

 

In 2016, 9 people were killed in a church in South Carolina with a legally purchased weapon: http://www.newsweek.com/dylann-roof-purchased-handgun-used-charleston-shooting-legally-345994

 

In 2015, 14 people were killed by a shooter at the Inland Regional Center in California with legally purchased weapons: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/san-bernardino-shooting-atf-says-all-4-guns-bought-legally/

 

In 2014, 5 people were killed a Washington high school by a shooter with a legally purchased weapon: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/10/28/marysville-high-school-shooting-jaylen-fryberg-lured-victims-via-text-message.html

 

In 2013, 6 people were killed in an apartment complex with a legally purchased weapon: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2015/12/10/marco-rubios-claim-that-no-recent-mass-shootings-would-have-been-prevented-by-gun-laws/?utm_term=.0cdc2a0323d0​

 

There's many, many more examples. In 2016 alone, guns killed over 38,000 people. No one gun law will prevent every shooting, but we know there are proven solutions that are effective at reducing gun violence. We can, and must, implement policies that will make our communities safer.

 

If all you are willing to do about this epidemic is offer "thoughts and prayers" for the victims, I hope you're prepared to keep offering thoughts and prayers for the new victims we'll continue to see every few months. I would rather try to save their lives by making it more difficult for these weapons of war to be legally purchased and used to massacre civilians. Most of these killings are by legally purchased weapons, and we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that there are policy solutions to help stem this tide. I'm going to pursue them.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Kathleen Willis

 

State Representative District 77

You are absolutely correct. This woman is a political stooge and nothing more. She claims "No one gun law will prevent every shooting, but

we know there are proven solutions that are effective at reducing gun violence." Well if this is true, why doesn't she introduce just one of these

proven solutions for all of us to see, instead of her nitwit licensing scheme, that anyone with even a trace of common sense, knows would not

provide a solution to any one of the shooting incidents she has listed. This crazy woman is on a crusade, or maybe a jihad, with reason and

common sense being her first casualties.

That email sound very angry and condescending. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's a "public servant" who thinks you exist to serve them and take orders from them.

 

In her letter, she states: " No one gun law will prevent every shooting, but we know there are proven solutions that are effective at reducing gun violence." Yet, she offers no examples of what these "proven solutions" are or how they work.

 

She goes on to say "If all you are willing to do about this epidemic is offer "thoughts and prayers" for the victims, I hope you're prepared to keep offering thoughts and prayers for the new victims we'll continue to see every few months." Is she actually mocking you...for something you didn't even say?
