Dear Charles,
Thank you for contacting me regarding gun control and explaining your stance on this important issue. I appreciate that you are a responsible gun owner and understand that you feel like your rights are being infringed upon by the incomprehensible acts of few.
Like you, I believe that we need to do a better job of enforcing the current laws on the books. There are steps that we can take to improve public safety without stripping away 2nd Amendment rights. One area where I think we can all agree is universal background checks for all gun purchases to close the loophole of purchasing guns from non-licensed vendors. Mandating universal background checks would help to keep firearms out of the hands of individuals that should not have them. I believe that this is a sensible proposal that a majority of the public would support.
Thank you again for your message and please do not hesitate to contact me with any other questions or concerns as we begin the hearing process on the Governor's proposal.
All my best,
Mark

Dear Mr. :
Thank you for contacting my office regarding the recent push for common sense measures to prevent gun violence. Please know that I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on this important issue.
Our country recently faced an unimaginable tragedy in Newtown, CT, when 20 children and 6 adults were senselessly killed. This heartbreaking event came after additional tragic mass shootings such as those in Aurora (CO), Oak Creek (WI), and Tucson (AZ). Subsequently, On Wednesday, January, 16th, 2013, President Obama formally announced his proposals to curb gun violence based on suggestions offered by Vice President Biden's task force. The President's plan to prevent gun violence includes such measures as: requiring criminal background checks for all gun purchases; banning "military style" assault weapons; restricting high-capacity ammunition magazines; strengthening penalties for gun trafficking; and helping to ensure that young people get the mental health treatment they need.
While I support the 2nd Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens, our country has witnessed far too many mass shootings in recent years for Congress not to act. I agree that mental health care and background checks must be improved, but I also think more must be done. I believe that President Obama's plan is a comprehensive, common sense approach to help protect the lives of Americans and keep our communities safer. While we may never be able to completely prevent another of these tragedies, we can certainly take steps to make them less likely. Even though we may ultimately disagree on the path forward, I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your views on this essential issue with me and please know that I will continue to keep your thoughts in mind.
Again, thank you for contacting me. Please do not hesitate to contact my office if you need additional assistance with this or any other issue.
