Email now about red flag laws...
rnbones:
I E-Mailed the White House today firmly opposing Universal Back Ground Checks and "Red Flag" laws. I will be contacting our Senators and Congress men urging them to oppose those laws also. I signed the GOA letter to President Trump. It is time we, the silent majority, rise up and let our government hear our "roar". We need to be silent no longer!!

I’ve contacted the White House, both Senators and even Jeff Fortenberry.
Been getting a bunch of emails from Ben Sasse asking for campaign contributions. Did some deeper research on him and can’t find many details on his 2nd amendment positions. So I sent off an email asking for details on his stance on red flag laws, background laws and the concealed carry reciprocity senate bill S. 69 (noticed that he was NOT a sponsor). After I found the following article discussing his views on red flag laws https://www.omaha.com/news/politics/senator-ben-sasse-would-back-red-flag-gun-law-that/article_ac4c813d-5864-5a27-acf8-0ad609a63af6.html.

Please call, too! It's easy to ignore emails. With a phone call, you're guaranteeing that somebody who works for them gets the message.

I was shocked to get a written reply in the mail from Ben Sasse. I’ve contacted him and Jeff Fortenberry in the past and the is the first time I’ve gotten a reply from either. His answer is mostly good, against new gun control laws and concentrating on mental health instead. But if I read his reply correctly (parts of it are written in politician not English) it appears Ben would support red flag laws if he thought the bill adequately protected 2nd Amendment rights.
I was also disappointed that he didn’t address my question on the Senate reciprocity bill and why he isn’t a sponsor.
So for right now I’ll see if a true conservative runs against him in the primary. If he turns out to be the Republican candidate I’ll probably wind up voting for him because I think the Democrats will run a “progressive” (AKA socialist) candidate pushing “common sense gun laws” (AKA citizen disarmament).
I’ve given up on Fortenberry. I used to be in the 2nd district but a few years ago was gerrymandered into the 1st district. And just barely - across the street north from me is still 2nd district.
