You've been working for years to reverse the trend in your home state, away from looser gun regulations.

I can't believe that a Democrat would introduce a bill to undo all of your hard work.

I'm assuming you are starting petitions to primary that tool of the NRA/GOP/ALEC/Koch Bros with a false "D" behind his name, right?

Please let us know what you are doing about this travesty in your own backyard. I'm sure you won't take this insult sitting on your ass in front of a keyboard the way some people might.
