I got 2 out of 3 emails back from my reps in Trenton....I sent the following:

 

The Honorable------------

 

I am alarmed at the recent attempts by NJ to attempt to out-do NY's recent gun ban....I oppose any further dilution of my Second Ammendment rights.

 

you will see me in Trenton on Feb. 8th in order to emphasize my concern...please dont vote for these measures.

 

Mike

 

 

Sen Doherty replied:

Mike,

 

Thank you for your input on recently proposed gun control legislation.

 

I am a big supporter of the 2nd Amendment. I have introduced legislation that would simplify the procedure for securing a permit to carry a handgun in the State of New Jersey, Senate Bill 269.

 

Please be advised that I will certainly give consideration to your comments during upcoming discussions with my colleagues in the Senate.

 

See you in Trenton on the 8th!

 

Sincerely,

 

Mike Doherty

 

...and an example of a slightly less enthusiastic response

Dear Mr. --------

Thank you for your email expressing your opposition to stricter gun laws such as legislation recently signed into law in New York. To date, legislation has not come before me for consideration.

Please be assured that I continue to support the 2nd Amendment to our Constitution and do not believe this is the answer to reducing violent criminal acts. I would prefer representatives at both the state and federal level focus efforts on mental health, substance abuse prevention, and education reform.

 

Regards,

 

John DiMaio

Assemblyman

23rd Legislative District

 

I also sent them an identical letter via USPS...have yet to hear from BO, Biden, Lautenberg and Menendez.....wonder what they will say....heh

I got a response from my people here in the 24th saying that they are "staunch supporters of the 2A and will fight any new laws accordingly"....i love them....

12th as well--Sen Thompson, Assy Dancer & Clifton.

I got a letter mailed to me. Snail mail. Haven't gotten one of those in years except the bulk mail congressional surveys that Garrett likes to send out.
