I Just received this from Good old Dick Durbin.. He uses the Newtown tragedy to further his liberal gun grabbing cause. People, we need to get rid of this guy!
Dear Mr. Blizzad:
Thank you for contacting me about gun control measures in light of the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. I appreciate hearing from you.
I share with all Americans a profound sense of sorrow at the senseless act of violence committed at Sandy Hook Elementary School. The nation mourns this event and many Americans wonder what can be done to prevent this type of tragedy in the future.
I am an original cosponsor of the Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device Act, which would reinstate a ban on magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. The ban on multi-round magazines expired along with the federal assault weapons ban in 2004.
The majority of Americans and the majority of thoughtful gun owners and hunters agree that there must be reasonable limits on gun ownership and weapons. We must institute common-sense limits, such as barring those with a history of mental instability, those with a history of violent crime or who are subject to restraining orders, and those whose names have been placed on a terrorist watch list from owning weapons. “Straw” purchasers and gun dealers should face firm penalties. There should be limits on how many firearms may be purchased in one month. Those who own firearms that are within the reach of children should have protective locks on their weapons.
The United States Supreme Court has raised questions about the Second Amendment and the protections and responsibilities under this Constitutional amendment. I plan to hold a Senate Judiciary Hearing in the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Human Rights Subcommittee to address this Constitutional question and how to forward on gun control.
My heart and prayers go out to the victims and their families in Newtown, Connecticut, as we remember the children and teachers who lost their lives.
Thank you again for contacting me. Please do not hesitate to keep in touch.
Sincerely,
Richard J. Durbin
United States Senator

I got the same. So much for voting for your constituents.
He is still riding the wave on the backs of dead children.
What a scumbag.
That’s odd, I got the same reply, word-for-word, must be his latest “form” letter, I wrote littledick about Constitutional Rights and to have him get barry/Barakhusseinsoetero/0bama and eric holder to turn loose the “executive priveledge” on the Fast & Furious farse, and to help hold them accountable because if they had to impose “exec.priv.” then the investigation *MUST* be leading to *THEM*!
littledick is part of the “National Socialist” wing of the democrat party and will stand by the rest of them to impose their planned restrictions to infringe upon law abiding citizens Rights, no matter what their constituants want …just look how they imposed the “Affordable care Act” (0baama-care) upon us when 60-70% of the citizens didn’t want it.
DM.
Same letter here. It must be his form letter to anyone that sends him anything on guns.
Meant to include: love the “clown hair” and nose, …fits him to a “T”!
I have been “pestering” him regularly (isn’t e-mail great to contact representatives?) and have asked him to resign because of his lies to “uphold the Constitution” when he is sworn into office at each new session of congress then turn around and work to undermine it (no reply to that!).
DM.
There should be limits on how many firearms may be purchased in one month. Those who own firearms that are within the reach of children should have protective locks on their weapons.
Mr. Durbin gives an impressive list of things that we “must institute”, like “barring those with a history of mental instability, those with a history of violent crime or who are subject to restraining orders” from owning weapons.
IT’S ALREADY THE LAW.
““Straw” purchasers and gun dealers should face firm penalties.”
IT’S ALREADY THE LAW.
The fact that these laws are seldom enforced, yet he cries out for additional restrictions, speaks volumes.
The fact that a sitting, somewhat senior, US Senator advocates for laws that are already on the books speaks even louder.
Thats the exact same email i have received 4 or 5 times now. Each email i sent had questions and statistics, and he keeps sending me the same pre drafted letter.
I think a limitation of congressional terms would do much more to ensure public safety and security than gun and/or ammunition limitations.
Small toads are smarter! I apoligize to all small toads!
Here – Come hate Dick Durbin together on facebook with me (I hope it’s OK to share this link here): https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dump-Dick-Durbin-2014/531741086849656
I also received the same letter form Senator Durbin and he is a scumbag
“The majority of Americans and the majority of thoughtful gun owners and hunters agree that there must be reasonable limits on gun ownership and weapons.” – BULLSITH
“The United States Supreme Court has raised questions about the Second Amendment and the protections and responsibilities under this Constitutional amendment.” – MORE BULLSITH
Traitor and Coward.
