Dear Norm:
Thank you for contacting my office concerning the importance of protecting Second Ame ndment rights in regards to upcoming legislation.
The recent horrific tragedy that occurred in Connecticut has sparked much debate over regulating gun control throughout the country. As sad as it is, no law or gun-free zone sign could have prevented the Connecticut tragedy. I wish I could say laws could be passed which would have prevented this tragedy, and similar tragedies that have happened in the past. Evil prevailed that day, and it prevailed in the form of premeditated murder in the coldest form. Words cannot describe the sorrow I have for anyone who has been affected by this unspeakable event.
I stand very firm on Second Amendment rights, which can be seen by my A+ NRA rating and legislation I have passed, especially the Castle Doctrine which gives citizens the right to protect them selves on their own property. I do not agree with the stance or actions that are being taken by President Obama or Vice President Biden, attacking our Second Amendment rights as Americans. Law-abiding firearms owners should not b e targeted to relinquish their c onstitutional right to bear arms.
I am in great support of SB 49, sponsored by Senator Casperson, which would exempt firearms licensing information from the Freedom of Information Act. We must protect the identities of responsible firearms owners from becoming targets and not allow the media to access and publish such sensitive information. We must ensure what happened to New York handgun owners will not happen to the people of Michigan.
Also in defending Michigan citizens' right to bear arms, I am a cosponsor of SB 63, the Michigan Firearms Freedom Act. This legislation would prohibit federal regulation of any firearm, firearm accessory or ammunition manufactured and sold within the state of Michigan .
Not only should we have the right to make and sell firearms within our borders, but through this legislation we could attract more manufactures to our state to create jobs and spur the economy.
As Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I have called a meeting the morning January 23, 2013, to discuss these pressing issues. I believe it is of the upmost importance to r ight the wrongs of the federal g overnment and I will do my best to address our concer ns to my fellow members of the c ommittee to also vote in favor of SB 24 and 63.
Thank you again for your support defending Second Amendment rights.
Sincerely,
Rick Jones
State Senator
District 24
