Thousands of GRNC members have recently received a form letter from Sen. Kay Hagan (D-GRNC *) in response to concerns about the Obama\/Biden\/Feinstein anti-gun attack that is currently underway in Washington, DC.<\/SPAN><\/P>
\n

In a painful attempt to appear supportive of our rights without actually supporting them, she has succeeded only in making it clear that her position needs significant correction. She writes,<\/SPAN><\/P>
\n


\n

\u201cit is important that we not unnecessarily <\/STRONG>infringe on the legitimate Second Amendment rights of responsible gun owners<\/EM>\u201d<\/SPAN><\/P><\/BLOCKQUOTE>
\n

The Senator apparently does not appreciate that government cannot infringe upon fundamental liberties whether it is deemed \u201cnecessary\u201d or not. It is also troubling to note she believes there are \u201clegitimate\u201d Second Amendment rights, which of course implies that some \u201cillegitimate\u201d ones also exist. Which ones are these?<\/SPAN><\/P>
\n

She completes a trifecta of Second Amendment misunderstanding by raising her family\u2019s \u201clong tradition of hunting\u201d. Grandpa\u2019s side-by-side shotgun isn\u2019t of much use against tyranny, is it?<\/SPAN><\/P>

HAGAN CAN\u2019T HIDE HER LUKEWARM TREATMENT OF GUN RIGHTS<\/STRONG><\/SPAN><\/P>
\n

Sen. Hagan\u2019s prior votes have earned her a GRNC \u201cone star\u201d evaluation, consistent with voting with gun owners 62% of the time. This is not a person we can be confident about protecting our interests in the largest battle to maintain gun rights in a generation. Hagan needs an attitude adjustment, and needs it now!<\/STRONG><\/SPAN><\/EM><\/SPAN><\/P>

DELIVER THIS MESSAGE<\/STRONG><\/SPAN>
 <\/SPAN>
Suggested Subject: “No Compromise on ‘Obama Gun Ban’<\/STRONG>”  <\/SPAN>
 <\/SPAN>
Dear Senator Hagan:<\/SPAN>
 <\/SPAN>
The Second Amendment confirms a fundamental liberty of North Carolinians to keep and bear arms. The need for this right is made clear within the Amendment itself: the \u201csecurity of a free state\u201d depends upon it. We have unfortunately seen how this is true following repeated attacks upon defenseless citizens within \u201cGun Free Zones\u201d where these rights have been unconstitutionally usurped.<\/SPAN><\/P>
\n

The right to bear arms has nothing to do with hunting or sports, it is necessary for defense of life, liberty and property. Such defense clearly requires effective, non-obsolete, militarily-relevant weapons. Thus, North Carolinians will tolerate no compromise <\/SPAN>with bans or restrictions of semi-automatic rifles, pistols or of magazine capacity.<\/SPAN><\/P>
\n

You are free to pursue better management of the violently insane, and are encouraged to repeal the dangerous \u201cGun Free School Zones Act\u201d of 1996. Any other cooperation with Obama\/Biden\/Feinstein proposed gun control is unacceptable<\/SPAN>. There can be no compromise <\/SPAN>with these anti-freedom plans.<\/SPAN>
 <\/SPAN>
Sincerely,<\/SPAN> <\/P>
\n
