MO state senator Kenney has one statement in his response that’s NOT PRO gun…. Anyone guess what it is?
============

I appreciate your e-mail expressing opposition to the proposed legislation
to ban the sale or possession of an assault weapon.

At first glance, a bill banning this type of weapon could seem feasible.
However, I believe the gun activists would not stop with just assault rifles
but would continue their quest until all guns, recreational and otherwise,
were classified as assault weapons.

Although I agree that the general public does not need to carry assault
weapons, I cannot support Senator Wiggins’ legislation for the reason I have
listed above.

Your input is important to me and I thank you for taking the time to write.

Sincerely,
Senator Bill Kenney

>Dear State Senator,

>In reference to the Missouri General Assembly Bill #532, I urge you

>strongly to kill this bill at once.

>Please carefully consider the following:
>
>1) Crime reduction HAS NOT taken place in California where similar
>legislation has been introduced into law. What HAS taken place is a
>reduced ability on the part of law abiding citizens to defend
>themselves against criminals who don’t obey ANY legislation anyway.

>2) This bill proposes the removal of many weapons from the access of
>law abiding citizens now used as means of self-defense. (Many of
>these weapons are also used as hunting weapons, as well, you might
>note.) In essence, you’re suggesting that it makes sense to take guns
>away from the GOOD GUYS, making it easier for the BAD GUYS to
>succeed in their business of CRIME.

>3) Though biased-media “gun control polls” portend (pretend is more
>like it) that more unconstitutional gun control is wanted by the
>general public, unbiased media polls suggest quite the opposite: LAW
>ABIDING CITIZENS CHOOSE TO PRESERVE OUR ABILITIES
>TO PROTECT AND DEFEND OURSELVES, OUR FAMILIES,
>OUR COMMUNITIES. Please read that statement again and ask

>it harder for Law Abiding People to defend themselves, and what
>could be their true motivation for passing such legislation?

>4) Legislation such as you recommend historically has lead to
>GENOCIDE. If you think this far fetched, please do visit the

>Constitutional proposal in the form of Bill 532 suggests you’re

>where this type of irresponsible legislation leads.

>In closing, I remind you that the people who care about Freedom in

>Kill Bill 532.
