Well, have you?

 

That was the question I asked myself, after realizing that I was posting my level of discontent on a forum of equally discontent, law-abiding, voting, citizens of every area of NJ.

 

I contacted my local representative (unfortunately I didn't save a copy of what I sent), but a few weeks later, this is the response I received;

 

Dear Mr. Koontz:

 

Thank you for contacting me to express your opposition to the enactment of stronger gun control legislation. I appreciate having the benefit of your views.

 

I want you to know that I am a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. I have consistently supported measures protecting this important provision of our Constitution.

 

As you are aware, the President has announced a series of legislative changes he would like to see enacted by Congress. Personally, I feel we ought to enforce existing laws before considering any new ones.

 

Please be assured that I welcome your views.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Rodney Frelinghuysen

Member of Congress

 

Now, I'm sure this is their cookie-cutter response to what I said, but if we all VOICE our opinions outside of election day, we might be able to stem, or even reverse, NJs infringements on our rights.

So what did you do about it?

 

Doesn't sound like you contacted anybody to me. You sent a letter and settled for a canned response. I don't really see any communication occurring.
