Wow! It doesn't get much simpler than that. Ruger has done gunowners a great service in making this means of contact available. I hope every one of those here who believe in and support the second ammendment will take the time to check out that link and let Ruger help them send a strong message to their elected officials.

P.S.
Outkast thank you for posting this.

I filled out and sent the form and this is the reply that I received. I'm sure that it is a standardized letter, but at least he was notified of my opinion on the subject.

Dear Mr. Murphy

Thank you for contacting me about the Second Amendment. I appreciate hearing from you.

On December 14, 2012, our nation experienced an unspeakable tragedy in Newtown. My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims, as well as to their families and loved ones. Now is the time to reflect on how we can best prevent acts like this in a way that does not violate our Second Amendment rights.

In response to this tragedy, several pieces of legislation are expected to be introduced in the 113th Congress by gun control advocates. For example, Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein has already announced her plan to introduce a renewal of the "assault weapons" ban.

President Obama has announced his own gun control agenda. His plan calls for various legislative proposals and threatens to implement twenty-three "executive actions." These include the passage of a federal gun trafficking law, and background checks on all gun sales. I oppose such gun control proposals because they are unconstitutional, and they do not keep Americans safe.

I will work vigorously to defend the rights of gun owners. The Right to Keep and Bear Arms is not principally about hunting or recreation. In fact, the Second Amendment to our Constitution is our Founding Fathers' restatement of our natural God-given right to defend life, liberty, and property.

I'm a decade-long concealed carry permit holder and Class III firearms collector. When I was twelve years old, my father bought me my first gun, an H&R .410 shotgun. In the course of hunting in the woods of Kentucky, he taught me the great responsibility that comes with ownership of a firearm. Now that I am a father of four, I enjoy teaching these same lessons to my children through hunting and target practice.

On January 3rd, I introduced H.R. 133, the Citizens Protection Act of 2013. This bill would repeal the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990. Gun-free zones prevent law-abiding citizens from protecting themselves, and create vulnerable populations that are targeted by criminals.

In the coming weeks, I will discuss with my colleagues and constituents the best ways to combat horrendous acts of violence without violating the Second Amendment. I value your input and will keep your thoughts in mind as Congress debates these issues.

Sincerely,

Thomas Massie
Member of Congress

Well now, that's refreshing! I think you may have inspired the congressman T.J.

...sent mine in...

Glad to some people taking the time to reply and stand up for our rights. I would also like to mention that the NRA is doing lifetime memberships for $300 this usually around $800 I think. I also think they have a payment plan for the lifetime membership

I have sent more than 1 !!! Thanks!! John

I had already done something similar a couple of weeks ago (but not as exhaustive) sponsored by GRNC (Grass Roots North Carolina) - however I went ahead and completed the Ruger letter as well - very easy. Including the Governor, LT. Governor, and state legislators was a great idea by Ruger. I also sent this out as a link via e-mail to every gun owner and retired Soldier in my e-mail address book - I hope it gains great traction. OH

I did this a week or so ago. It's a great thing Ruger is doing, and y'all are right it doesn't get much easier.

So far I've received emails from my lt. gov, and 3 other of the officials listed.

Ruger made it easy!

I received an email back from Senator Rand Paul and letter from Rep. Hal Rogers.

Same here Bill, and I also got a pre recorded call from Mitch McConnell (His machine talked to my machine LOL). All of them indicate they strongly support the second ammendment.

Sent mine about 3 weeks ago. So far I've received 4 responses, including one from the gov. Three of the
four was pro-gun and one sent the all familiar form letter sayin he was really happy that I took the time to
contact him. He said that he would definately take my views and request in consideration when addressing the issue.
That just sent chills up my leg!!

I didnt send it to my limp wristed governor . He's on record as an Obama lover and being its his second term, he'll just follow suit with whatever Obama wants the left to do . My opinion, of course.

Done, thanks for the link.

Got a response today. Let's hope they are actually taking notice of this stuff and it's not just some automated responses from the secrtaries.
