Obviously you did not read the response, rather you let your bias against an individual blind you.He said nothing.....as usual!!!!
Here was Cornyn's canned reply. Overall, I would say it is satisfactory.
Thank you for contacting me regarding the recent shooting in El Paso, Texas. I am glad to have the benefit of your views on this tragedy.
I am deeply saddened and disturbed by the recent attack in El Paso, and I believe all individuals who commit acts of terror or violence should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Politically motivated domestic terrorism has no place in American society. Like every Texan, I want to prevent violent crime. Preventing acts of mass violence begins with enforcing existing laws to prevent criminals, persons with mental illness, and other dangerous individuals from obtaining firearms. As a strong proponent of the Second Amendment, I believe it is essential to safeguard law-abiding citizens’ constitutional right to own and use firearms for lawful purposes. Restricting this right runs counter to the intent of our Founding Fathers, who expressly guaranteed that citizens would retain the right to keep and bear arms.
As a former Texas Supreme Court Justice and Attorney General, I have firsthand knowledge of crime-fighting policies that work. I believe Second Amendment rights should not be restricted because of the actions of criminals. Rather, we must focus our attention on the source of violent crime: dangerous individuals who use firearms to harm innocent Americans. I believe strictly enforcing the law and imposing tougher sentences on career criminals and violent offenders who use firearms will reduce violence more effectively than gun or equipment bans, which primarily serve to take firearms away from law-abiding citizens. Furthermore, lawmakers should work to reduce violence by enacting policies that increase treatment options for those who are dangerously mentally ill—a common factor in many acts of mass violence that have occurred in communities across the nation.
This is the debate we should be having—a debate focused on the root causes of mass violence, fully enforcing current law, and addressing improvements to mental health care in America. I will continue to push for effective solutions that protect communities while preserving our constitutional rights.
I appreciate the opportunity to represent Texas in the United States Senate. I hope you will continue to share your views with me regarding issues of importance to you. Thank you for taking the time to contact me.
Sincerely,
JOHN CORNYN
United States Senator
