Taking a Hammer and nailing it hard
On the 2nd Amendment part of this post our new local US 8th Dist Congressman Brad the bullshitter Ellsworth has shown his true colors quickly. He will fit in well with the two left coasts politicians in Washington, but
I bet on him returning us to the well know title of the Bloody 8th dist of one regularly changing congressmen. I took a lot of years and multi-millions of dollars to buy this dist back after the last Democrat held it.
It's a damn shame when our entertainers and comedians like George Carlin and others are more truthful and in touch with reality in America than the pampered prince and princesses we are all allowing to remain in office. The Constitution and Bill of Rights are to trim the bulls horn's not sharpen them to be used against us whenever the feel the urge to exert more control.
Our 2nd Amendment

Taking a Hammer...
...and nailing it hard (emphasis mine).
Make no mistake. Every single politician in Washington knows that the surest way to make affordable health care available to every single American is through the private sector. They know that eliminating the regulations that stifle competition, and getting rid of insurance mandates that drive up the cost of even the most basic policies would bring millions of the uninsured back into the ranks of the fully insured. They know that giving individuals the same tax treatment for buying their own health insurance policies that their employers get providing those policies for them would solve much our problem with the uninsured. The know all of these things .. .but they also know one more very important fact. With every private sector solution introduced into our health care system politicians and government lose power ... and that just cannot be permitted.
The goal of these politicians is not to bring you health care. Their goal is to make you more dependent on government ... and them.

Dear Skip,
Thank you for contacting me to voice your concern about our Second Amendment rights. I appreciate your comments and I welcome this opportunity to share my views.
What happened at Virginia Tech University on April 16, 2007 was a terrible tragedy. Thirty-two people were murdered, and even more injured, in a senseless act of violence. Fortunately, the students and teachers who died that day will not have passed in vain as the lessons learned from this mass shooting have lead to a shared national commitment to prevent such tragedies from occurring in the future. [pure f'ing bullshit 20 thousand more laws won't stop shootings as happened there and as a ex-sheriff he damn sure knows it.]
In the wake of the Virginia Tech tragedy, the House of Representatives was compelled to reconsider laws and procedures regarding the accessibility of firearms. [Compelled, to disobey the constitution over party politics] Specifically, we pursued measures to correct flaws in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) that allowed the Virginia Tech shooter to purchase firearms despite a history of mental health problems. [As a policeman he knows this is pure blowing smoke up someone's ass. [This kid was not a criminal and was not nor would not be in the NICS data base until we allow people like Ellsworth other we know whats best for you to put all of us on their criminal data bases] We worked with both the National Rifle Association (NRA) and gun control advocates to craft legislation that allows states to take reasonable steps for providing the FBI with the information necessary to conduct background checks prior to firearm sales. [Along with all All? again the hiding behind the WE shit of my colleagues not I], I believe this bill represents a sensible approach for keeping firearms out of the hands of potentially dangerous individuals [He appears to be potentialy dangerous as a person sworn to uphold the Constitution Do you think he would resign to make us all safer.] The House passed H.R. 2640, the NICS Improvement Amendments Act, by voice vote [convenently] on June 13, 2007. Though we may not agree on this issue, I hope we can continue our dialogue in the future.
[The original question asked why [he] allowed a unrecorded vote on a bill by two of the most notorious anti-gun nuts in Washington along with gun group whos leadership seems more than willing to some political pandering themselves.]
Thanks again for taking the time to share your views with me. As your Representative, I need your input to make the best decisions possible, so please stay in touch!
