Called and left a message that also included the fact that his mandatory liability insurance and 25% surcharge on ammo will severely impact the low income, and elderly that live on modest and fixed incomes and may, in fact, act to disarm them and not allow them the same God given right of self defense as the wealthy.
I would think that it would be unconstitutional to pass laws that discriminate against the poor or lower income populace.
Sounds like the right approach. Don't necessarily identify yourself as a 2A supporter but more as a concern citizen with reservations about the racist overtones in his ammo tax and liability insurance requirement proposals.
The poll tax was widely seen as racist and was ruled unconstitutional for creating an unreasonable barrier to exercising a constitutional right and one that fell disproportionately on poor minorities. In much the same way, Linsky's proposals create a similar barrier to exercising a right that falls disproportionately on poor urban minorities, who by the way happen to live in the most unsafe neighborhoods. Isn't that the definition of racism?
In regard to these facets of the legislation, I agree with this approach - we have to emphasize these impacts in any communications with our reps. The insurance and taxes would only hurt the poor, not the wealthy and, therefore, would disproportionately impact the less affluent.

Is this the best you guys got? Using the poor and racism card? Of course that's what they want. They want to make it so expensive to own guns and buy ammo so that no one can afford to own them - no one except the elite.
The issue here is "How do any of these proposed laws affect how criminals obtain their weapons?"
They can't answer that. Don't let them dance around it.
If, and I do mean IF, the AWB stays off the floor at the national level, ask them for their justification for it in this state ON TOP OF THE AWB WE ALREADY HAVE HERE. A lot of voters in this state do not know that we already have most of the laws that the US Senate is now considering. Point out that MA aready has an AWB. MA already has a 10-round mag limit and doesn't need to dial it down to an arbitrary 7. Point out that straw purchases are illegal already and that not a single case has been prosecuted. Point out that you can't just go to NH and buy a gun and bring it home. Point out that the people don't want congressional interference where lawful gun ownership is concerned. They want Crime Control. All the money and wasted time on curbing the law abiding would be better spent on coming up with a means to fight the criminal element. That is something we ALL can get behind.
