Luetkemeyer Signs Letter to President Regarding Gun Legislative Package
Washington,
Jan 30 -
Furthering his commitment of vigorously defending the Second Amendment, Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-3) has signed onto a letter to President Obama voicing concerns shared by many law-abiding Americans regarding the president’s gun control legislative package.
The letter, originated by Rep. Dan Benishek (R-MI) and signed by 77 legislators, outlines that Members of Congress want a discussion about how to proceed after the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in a manner that is consistent with our nation’s rights and values.
“It is of the upmost importance that Congress and the president come together to have an open-minded and thoughtful discussion regarding gun violence in our nation that respects the constitutional rights of law-abiding gun owners and enthusiasts,” Luetkemeyer said. “The administration has said it wants transparency, and this is the first step – holding an open discussion on this national issue. We must get to the root of unanswered questions about the reasons that troubled individuals have been able to misuse these instruments.”
NOTE: A copy of the letter sent to President Obama is attached.
