To: President Donald Trump, The United States House of Representatives, and The United States Senate
Realistic Gun Laws
We ask President Obama, Senators, and House Representatives to not pass any new firearms laws because of the rash of mass killings by irresponsible individuals. This would include attempts to reinstate the so-called “Assault Weapon” ban.
The weapons President Obama wants to remove from lawful owners may LOOK LIKE an assault or military weapon. However, military weapons fire fully automatic; one pull of the trigger will fire the entire magazine of ammunition. Our legal weapons are “semi-automatic” in that the trigger must be pulled for each round (bullet). Our weapons are not “military” or “assault” weapons. They are used by responsible individuals for target shooting, hunting, or just “plinking.”
The criminals using illegal weapons cause people to want adverse action taken. It provides “ammo” for anti-firearm groups, individuals, and of course politicians. What is needed are stricter laws against the illegal use of firearms. If a person has a firearm on their possession while committing a crime, they must be given a mandatory sentence, in addition to whatever they receive for the original crime. Additionally, the criminal cannot be paroled from this sentence. I would recommend at least a ten (10) year mandatory sentence.
Thank you.

Why is this important?
We sympathize with those who suffered a horrible loss in the recent wave of killings. However, we ask the public and politicians not be adversely effected by unbalanced individuals. It is those individuals that killed so many people – NOT THE FIREARM! A firearm is like a car. The only way a car can kill or injure someone is when it is being driven by an irresponsible individual. The only way a firearm can injure or kill, is if it used by an unbalanced individual or a criminal.
We ask that President Obama not attempt to implement any unfair firearm laws. Good, honest, lawful individuals in the USA should be allowed to own firearms; just they are allowed to own vehicles.
