On December 14th, 2012 26 (twenty six) people were taken from this earth before their time. The victims included 20 children, all between 6 and 7 years old. This tragic and senseless crime has destroyed American families. Husbands, wives, mothers and fathers for them life will never be the same. Immediately, and within minutes the media and politicians exploited this tragedy and turned it into an argument for more gun control.

The investigation is ongoing but we have learned quite a bit about the shooter and the firearms that he used to commit the heinous act. Here is what we know:
-
-
20 year old Adam Lanza shot and killed his own mother and unlawfully took possession of her legally obtained and owned firearms. Connecticut has what most would deem as strict gun laws. After all, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence rated Connecticut with a 58 of 100 possible points whereas my home state of New Mexico received a 4/100 which lies In the tier 1 (lowest possible according to Brady) of under 10/100. When we examine the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun violence’s “rating map” you’ll see that of the past 3 shootings they have all been in states where they “grade” the state in a Tier 2 or 3 (all of which are over 15/100).

-
How many gun laws were broken here? How many capital felonies were commited here? 26 Capital felonies, 4 felony firearm thefts an AWB will not curb this problem.
-
-
Now that we know that CT had at least some precautions in place to prevent this, yet this tragedy has shocked the nation like no other mass shooting in US History. A politician or lawmaker cannot legislate evil away. In the past 4 days online and local retailers have sold substantial quanities of AR’s, Pistols, Ammunition, and of course Hi-Capacity magazines. I myself have purchased Hi-Cap mags for firearms that I own.
The purpose of this letter is not to tell you my like minded friends that an AWB is wrong as well all know that.

-
What I want to make known is that firearms rights will not be legislated away in one fell swoop there is too much resistance, Armed resistance. First it is the Hi-Cap magazines, then it’s the semi-automatic rifles, then pistols and before our children or grandchildren are of age we have "amnesty bins" and we're fighting for our Airsoft rights. Even if you are not affected by the proposed AWB please remember Martin Niemöller

First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist, so I said nothing. Then they came for the Social Democrats, but I was not a Social Democrat, so I did nothing. Then came the trade unionists, but I was not a trade unionist. And then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew, so I did little. Then when they came for me, there was no one left to stand up for me.
