Dan Lungren crosses party lines and National Rifle Association

[Armed Citizen]

I am disappointed. However, as a member of his district who has voted for him, having recently attended a town hall meeting where there was not opportunity to hold a dialog with him because of the irates in the crowd who were not interested in conversation (most who spoke did not ask a question or have room in their rants for Lungrens comments), who called his office and talked to his staff in detail about this issue; I am not surprised. His staff told me that he has staked his career on the 10th amendement. This vote is consistent with his having been the top law enforcement officer in the state. Perhaps it would be accurate to say that he cares more about the ability of the state to police than the ability of citizens to protect themselves.

However, it is really interesting to me that the local chief of police where the meeting was held and all the law enforcement officers in the room that I talked to (I spoke to both uniformed and plain clothes LEO's from three agencies) were all pro private citizen CCW. Or were they just being political - telling me what they thought I wanted to hear?

Politics. Everyone is looking for re-election bid.
It's as much our fault as his.
Him being in the office just tell you what kind of people put him in there

Gun Ban Dan strikes again. The guy is and always has been an anti-freedom statist.

Codrea's doing a bit of NRA bashing in it but the commentary about him is accurate.

I'm facing an NRA A+ rated politician in Colorado who is regularly using the 10th amendment to argue against my case... (John Suthers, AG of Colorado)

Lets see the republican led house brought this issue up .
The republican led house expects to pass this pro self defense bill.

It is expected to die when the democratic led senate gets to vote on it .

Umm humm -yes I see why folks would be angry with the 1 republican that voted against self defense.

BTW the the 10th amendment argument is stupid in this instance,it would mean states could ignore article #6 etc .

I just checked the gunownersofamerica site for Lundrens rating --he got a disappointing C+
However I did find nearly every democrat earned an F rating .
Me thinks some of you protest too much.

Go to his website and tell him how you feel about his vote. I did, and it accepted the message even though I don't live in his district.

The only way we win is with heads on Pikes.

Let this RINO know how we feel.

HE'S A WITCH! BURN HIM!

Does he weigh as much as a duck ?

Thanks for the link.
Sent him an 'enlightening' message for him to reflect on when he goes back to the private sector next election.

Or you can call his DC office and tell them: (202) 225-5716. I just did, and informed his staffer that as a voting resident of his district his lack of support will definitely be a factor when he is up for reelection. Seems like we need some fresh, pro-2A blood in my district.

But, but, but Lundgren has a (R) after his name. How can this be?

Further proof that our fight isn't left/right. We have friends and enemies on both sides.

I'm also wondering why you would invoke the 10th Am in this instance.

Honestly, gun rights to me are supported by not just the 2nd Am but in the case of self-defense the 9th Am and in the case of civil rights the 14th Am.

The 14th Am would most likely be invoked on this matter.

This is all assuming that people like Lungren know what the Constitution actually says.

[CalBear]

So let me get this straight.

2A - Right to keep & bear arms protected. Applies to the states.
14A - P&I, DP, EP protected. Congress is given power to act on violations.
10A - Powers not given to the feds by the Constitution are reserved for the states / people.
-----> 2A protections are strictly a states rights issues.

WTF?

[Mute]

Lundgren has never been pro 2A. So it's not a surprise.
