REply from PA Senator Bob Casey

[Echo40]

I received a similar reply from Mike Doyle. I didn't vote for him because of his stances on Gun Control to begin with, so I'm honestly not surprised by it.

I'll continue to e-mail him regarding Gun Control, simply because it's not difficult to do so, and darned if I'm going to give him the satisfaction of thinking that any gunowners in PA approve of his support for Gun Control, much less that any of us will vote for him.

I worked in Lake City (north west PA) with decent hard working guys who hunted and had guns, Hardcore Dems.

Why? Union members or family tradition.

Ohio has our own urban blighted dem strong holds yet we went big for Trump, it ain’t just lefty loons that voted Dem there’s gun owners as well.

What a moron, but that's PA for ya.

Hey..... I'm offended by that remark!!! (But seriously, I'm not) I'm not a fan of Casey and I'm terrified of Fetterman!!!

Somebody ain’t voting in PA or these traitors wouldn’t be in office.

RKBA requires gun owners become a single issue voting block.

If you look at how PA votes you will see the blue in Erie,Allegheny, State College, Harrisburg and the Philly area. The Southeast part of the state has a high D voting block

Reading that was not good for my blood pressure and made me want to say bad things to Bob.

Reply from PA Senator Pat Toomey on Chipman

Thank you for contacting me about the nomination of David Chipman to be the Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). I appreciate hearing from you.
Like many Pennsylvanians, I have long been a supporter of the Second Amendment. Americans have an individual right to bear arms for self-protection, hunting, and recreation. During my time in the Senate, I have consistently defended Second Amendment rights. For instance, I have voted against a ban on certain semi-automatic firearms and for national concealed carry reciprocity.
That said, there have been renewed calls for Congress to take action to confront gun violence in the wake of mass shootings. I do believe that Congress can and should take steps to address this issue. Firearms should be used responsibly and safely. People who use guns in an illegal manner should be punished to the fullest extent of the law, and firearms should be kept out of the hands of terrorists, convicted criminals, and the dangerously mentally ill.
To that end, ATF is the agency within the Department of Justice that enforces federal laws related to firearms, as well as those on alcohol, tobacco, explosives, and arson. Specific to firearms, ATF's actions include investigating and enforcing federal law against violent criminals and criminal organizations engaged in the illegal use, acquisition, and trafficking of firearms. Among its authorities, ATF is also responsible for regulating the firearm industry, which can significantly affect the rights and responsibilities of gun owners as well.
On April 12, 2021, President Joe Biden nominated David Chipman to be the Director of ATF. Currently, Mr. Chipman works as a senior policy advisor for Giffords, which is an advocacy group that focuses on firearm policy. Previously, Mr. Chipman served at ATF for twenty-five years in a variety of positions. Mr. Chipman's nomination is currently pending before the Senate Judiciary Committee, of which I am not a member. Please be assured that I understand your views, and will keep them in mind as the Senate considers Mr. Chipman for this important position.
Thank you again for your correspondence. Do not hesitate to contact me in the future if I can be of assistance.
Sincerely,
Pat Toomey
U.S. Senator, Pennsylvania

We will see how he votes.

I wrote Senator Toomey regarding Chipman.

I got the same letter you did.

But good news!

I got an update email today, he's voting AGAINST Chipman's nomination.

So, that's a good thing

PS - I didn't bother writing Senator Casey.

I knew that would be a waste of bandwidth and my time.

"...roll up our sleeves..."? Gimme a break!
Our local elected officials make me wanna puke when I see them in a hard hat with sleeves rolled up talking with some local blue collar mill people. It's sickening. I've been union all my life and so far have never voted for anyone that my union has pushed for. I've let them know about it, too.
