Dear Mr. Mindflayer,

Thank you for contacting me to share your thoughts on the tragic events in Newtown, Connecticut and your views on gun control.

On December 14, 2012, 20 innocent children and six adults lost their lives in one of the worst, most tragic shootings to ever occur in the United States. As a parent of three daughters, this was the ultimate nightmare. Like the Virginia Tech and Columbine shootings, this tragedy unfolded in what was once regarded as a safe haven free of crime and violence: a school.

I am a strong supporter of the Second Amendment constitutional right of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms. I own firearms and I have an "A" rating from the National Rifle Association. However, I also recognize that, like with many of our constitutional rights, our Second Amendment rights are not without limits. It is unfortunate that a tragedy of this magnitude is what is needed to prompt action, but we need to have a serious discussion on how to best avoid these kinds of mass shootings in the future. The status quo is not acceptable.

I believe our discussion should cover many issues. We can start by taking action on issues that enjoy widespread support, such as broadening background checks for gun purchases, ensuring all appropriate records are submitted into the background check database, and making improvements to our mental health system so we can provide help to those with dangerous mental illnesses before it is too late. In addition, I have received many comments from across the Commonwealth regarding the White House task force's recommendations to curb gun violence. I am actively reviewing these recommendations and will carefully consider related legislation as it is developed and introduced in the Senate. As I formulate my position, I urge you to continue to express your views.

Again, thank you for contacting me. For further information or to sign up for my newsletter please visit my website at http://warner.senate.gov.


Sincerely,
MARK R. WARNER
United States Senator

His mind is made up to do what he wants and not what the people want

VOTE HIM OUT of office

That's the problem with electing a rich, elitist liberal.

They don't need your money and don't want your opinions or advice. They don't give a damn what you think, and they know better than you what you ought to have. So sit down, shut up and pay your taxes when due. You're lucky he even bothered to send you a "f*** you" e-mail; it's only because he needed a reason to hire another aide. Warner and Kaine will be bringing up a bill right away to change the name of the state to "District of West Columbia" (or maybe 'Bureaucratistan"). They're taking the "virgin" out of Virginia because we're ALL screwed here in the Old Dominion.
