Sen. Johanns sent out an email saying that he cosponsored this bill, in order to supposedly protect the 2nd Amendment. I sent him the following email:
I read your email about protecting the 2nd Amendment. I'm glad the bill failed, and you should not have cosponsored it, or supported it. I hope you avoid doing that sort of thing in any future attempt at gun control, because that bill was nothing more than kowtowing before the altar of gun control; you just didn't appear to bow quite as low as the liberal cult originally commanded you to bow.
Anti-gun bigots have a history of using sleazy tactics like bait and switch. Any gun control law that Obama would sign will be bad for freedom, or he wouldn't sign it. And that includes this one.
There is already too much gun control, not too little, and loyal Americans in both houses of Congress should be addressing that problem, not adding to it.
Any Senator who is serious about keeping guns out of the hands of criminals should be doing everything in his power to keep the Fast and Furious investigation on a front burner, which includes stopping the cover-up and prosecuting Eric Holder for the crimes he committed. Allowing these crimes to go unpunished while further restricting the rights of law-abiding citizens is nothing but kowtowing to the liars of the liberal press.
