6. Glad to see my worthless critter signed this letter

I spoke to him a couple of years ago and he was a little unclear on the concept. I'm still not sure he understood the difference between fully automatic and semi automatic firearms.

7. Is your Congresscritter Dennis Cardoza, by any chance?

At least he's keeping his eyes and his mind open. This is a good start for him.

8. Why yes it is

He didn't seem to realize that this



Was in effect a semi automatic weapon.

10. For some reason, that image won't load on my machine...

...but I'll take your word for it. He needs to educate himself on this matter, and fast.

11. It's an 1877 double action Colt Revolver

One pull of the trigger fires a round and chambers the next one.

9. This is in addition to at least nine pro-RKBA Democratic Senators

Baucus (MT), Begich (AK), Casey (PA), Feingold (WI), Landrieu (LA), Ben Nelson (NE), Reid (NV), Tester (MT), Webb (VA), and possibly Gillibrand (NY) if she isn't pressured enough to flip, and God help her if she does.
