D.C Gun Ban Lifted

Over the past weekend, a Federal judge lifted Washington, D.C.’s ban on carrying handguns in public.

This is a once in a lifetime chance for our elected Federal representatives to show their support for our right to defend ourselves by defending themselves.

I am begging everyone who sees this blog to write to their Congressman or Woman and their Senators and demand that they carry a gun to work in Washington.

If your representatives happen to be Republican or one of the rare RTBA supporting Democrats, I would suggest a note something like this:

Dear Congressman Runyon,

As I am sure that you are aware, the courts have reaffirmed the right of every resident and visitor to our nation’s capital to defend themselves by carrying handguns out with them in public.

I urge you to stand with your freedom loving constituents and to take advantage of this long lost liberty by carrying a hand gun to work with you in D.C.  This will serve as vivid testimony to the press, your colleagues and the voters back home that you take our Constitution seriously.

I firmly believe that a photo op of you and your staff, proudly standing up for the Right to Bear Arms, right in front of the Capitol Building, will do much to win the support and admiration of freedom lovers back in the Garden State.

I trust you to do the right thing.

Sincerely,

Joe Siano

For Democrats and other traditionally anti-gun legislators, a somewhat different approach is recommended.

Dear Senators Menendez and Booker,

As I am sure that you are aware, the courts have reaffirmed the right of every resident and visitor to our nation’s capital to defend themselves by carrying handguns out with them in public.

Truth be told, Washington, D.C. is no different than New Jersey.  Every day, poor inner city dwellers are terrorized by thugs, gangs and violent criminals.  Our overworked police forces are unable to protect these deserving citizens who are trapped in a cesspool of violence.  They cannot feel safe walking to the corner store, sending their kids to school or just sitting outside of their own front doors.

That is why I am asking you to lead by example.  I am urging you to capitalize upon our Capital’s newfound liberty by wearing a hand gun to work.

The example that you set will send a message to your beleaguered constituents that “we are not going to take it anymore!  We are going to take back our streets, our neighborhoods, our parks, playgrounds and cities from the scum who have held us hostage for too long.  We are not afraid, we will stand and fight.”

And you sir, will stand tall, leading the charge to reclaim New Jersey’s cities for decent, hardworking Americans.

I trust that you will do the right thing and make us proud.

If you do not own a weapon, the fine folks at the NJ Second Amendment Society will be happy to assist in finding what best suits your needs.

Sincerely,

Joe Siano    

I ask every reader to send such a letter to his or her representatives.  I also ask that you keep me posted with their responses.  Post it on Facebook or as a comment to this article.  You may feel free to use the above letters as a template.  The 2 Percent Blog legal team assures me that you can do so without fear of copyright infringement or incurring royalty fees.

This is once in a lifetime opportunity to call our elected representatives on the carpet regarding this fundamental right.
