Actually they are using it to further their agenda of absolute power over us. Those pols need to know we know. Part of their plan is propaganda demonizing conservatives as domestic terrorists. Then they can use Unconstitutional Red Flag Laws against us.This is what I sent him.
Do not surrender one inch of my rights to the Democrats on Gun Control. Everyone knows it is not the guns killing people no matter how loud the Democrats scream it. They do not want to face the real issues and use gun control to appease Their constituency, NOT yours.

Only because people can’t hold folks accountable.Tough to legislate against evil.
Yep! You probably got the same one. Did it look like the below?Did y'all receive a response? I did. It was canned, of course. He tried to cite all his past efforts to protect our 2A rights (not a great way to start a conversation and instill confidence). In conclusion he says, "I will continue to champion the Second Amendment and work to provide resources for individuals with mental health issues to help ensure that our communities our sade and our Constitutional rights are not infringed."
The degenerate who perpetrated the killing in Uvalde was indeed a sick effer; but I suggest he was simply evil, not mental.
Evil, amoral, p.o.s.
Tough to legislate against evil.
yup that's the form letter he is using very concerning.Yep! You probably got the same one. Did it look like the below?
Thank you for contacting me regarding federal firearms laws. I appreciate having the benefit of your comments on this important matter.
On May 24, 2022, a gunman maliciously took the lives of 21 innocent people, including 19 children at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. My heart goes out to the loved ones of those who lost their lives as they grieve such a cruel tragedy. This is an incredibly difficult time for the Uvalde community, Texas, and our Nation. My office is coordinating with federal, state, and local officials to assist the people of Uvalde as they navigate the aftermath of this senseless act of violence.
As your Senator, I am committed to focusing 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 and preserve citizens' Second Amendment rights. 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.
It is encouraging that the Supreme Court has upheld the will of our Founders and re-affirmed the ideals upon which our country was established. The Supreme Court's ruling in District of Columbia v. Heller (2008) affirmed that Americans' constitutional rights remain secure from federal government intrusion. I was proud to sign an amicus brief to the Supreme Court supporting the fundamental right of American citizens to keep and bear arms. This landmark ruling continues to have implications far beyond the District of Columbia. In the 2010 McDonald v. City of Chicago decision, the Supreme Court struck down the arbitrary gun ban in Chicago-thereby affirming that the Second Amendment protects Americans' fundamental rights against state and local encroachment.
As a former Texas Supreme Court Justice and Attorney General, I have firsthand knowledge of crime-fighting policies that work, and I believe citizens' 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: criminals 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, I believe Americans with concealed handgun licenses should not sacrifice their safety and peace of mind when traveling between states. That is why I was proud to introduce the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2019 (S.69; 116th Congress). This bill would have allowed qualified individuals to carry a concealed handgun into, or possess a concealed handgun in another state that allows its residents to carry concealed firearms. While this bill did not pass last Congress, I look forward to working with my colleagues on furthering protection of Americans' Second Amendment rights during the 117th Congress.
As your Senator, I will continue to champion the Second Amendment and work to provide resources for individuals with mental health issues to help ensure that our communities our safe and our Constitutional rights are not infringed.
I appreciate having the opportunity to represent Texas in the United States Senate, and will continue working with my colleagues to protect our Second Amendment rights. Thank you for taking the time to contact me.
Sincerely,
JOHN CORNYN
United States Senator

He definetly had mental issues and a number of people knew it.I'd say that anyone that evil must have mental issues.
I'm all for getting more help for people who need it. Maybe even spending tax dollars on it. I'm not so sure about involuntarily committing people who haven't broken any laws. And nobody should construe any of that into anything related to red flag laws. I was going to say "unconstitutional red flag laws" but that's redundant.
