Governor Jerry Brown,
My name is Jin Kim, and I am an American citizen, not by birth, but by the choices of my legally immigrated parents who saw the freedoms and liberty of this free country. They wanted a better life for my sister and I. They left the comforts of their homeland, which I am always thankful for, and became citizens of this great country. I am also a resident of the city of Los Angeles in our great state of California.
I took up my right to bear arms when I was 25 going through the licensing process, background checks, safe handling demonstration and properly store/lock the firearm in my home. My firearm is for the purpose of defending me, and my loved ones around me. I legally take my firearm to ranges where I practice my ability to fire safely and accurately on a regular basis. I own hollow point ammunition in the case of me needing to discharge my firearm at an assailant, I don’t want my bullets don’t go through them and walls hitting innocent bystanders. Now this safety measure is going to be deemed an “assault bullet?”
These new bills proposed are simply put unconstitutional. When these bills come your way please make the logical decision and not an emotional one based off of tragedy that has struck our nation. The government can be rash, maybe because they feel that it is in the best interest of the people, but the country is made up of a democracy of we the people. You are to uphold the constitutional rights which our founding fathers created in ways to protect, we the people, from the governing bodies that may oppress us. We have every right to defend ourselves from not just one attacker, but plausible multiple attackers. We have the right to defend ourselves in cases such riots, which we have seen too many times in our state.
Limiting this ability by targeting semi-automatic firearms is not the answer. According to official FBI and U.S. Department of Justice reports, the rates of violent crime in the U.S. are now at their lowest level in 40 years. And the fact that there are more guns in law-abiding citizens hands today than before doesn't come into play? Politicians don’t face the injustice and evil of the world we the people live in. Politicians have luxuries that we the people will never see.
There are bad people in this world. I don’t postulate that I am the best of people but I am a tax paying, God fearing, law-abiding citizen of these United States and a resident in our great state of California. Crime does not go away with these gun laws. Statistics prove this. You can’t ignore that. These gun laws take away the protection of those who are not criminals and turn them into criminals.
Please consider the voice of many individuals who love the United States of America and the freedoms it brings. I pray for our state, you and your ability to make clear logical decisions and hope that my voice will be heard in the sea of chaos you handle. Thank you for your time.
