I sent my latest protestation to my members of congress re: pending bad gun laws. Instead of getting the canned "I hate guns and gun owners" missive from Senator Murray, I received the following (which I think is a good sign that someone, somewhere actually might be getting a clue)...



Senator Murray now spends many words to say nothing. I submit that she now understands the significant number of votes that she stands to alienate by blithely jumping on the anti-gun bandwagon...

Sorry, I disagree...she blew you off. Further, I submit that she doesn't care at all or she would have addressed your concerns in context to anything that she is working on....

Oh. I agree. It IS still a canned response. It's just not the "I hate all guns and all gun owners" canned response that we've received from her in the past. I take it as a sign that she is, at least, not TRYING to alienate gun owners.

I wouldn't put it past her to have 2 canned responses. 1 for people who write in favor of gun restrictions and one for those opposed. Since she has no common ground with those of us who are opposed to restrictions on RKBA, the canned letter is short.

The problem with testing this theory is someone would have to write a letter in favor of further restrictions on RKBA, and that person certainly won't be me!
