Mayor Johnson,
I am not in favor of your support of "Mayors Against Illegal Guns." This group has a deceptive name and a hidden agenda, and I didn't think that was your style. You claim to support civil liberties and stand for the little guy, but gun control is unconstitutional, anti-civil-liberties, and only punishes the little guy.
One of the main platforms of Mayors Against Illegal Guns is the abolishing of Concealed Carry laws. Shall-issue Concealed Carry laws have ushered in lower crime rates, or - even in the eyes of the most skeptical statistician - have not raised crime rates one iota in any state in which they have been introduced.
Of course you are against illegal guns. You are against criminals having guns. But passing new laws does nothing to keep guns out of the hands of criminals, because criminals steal guns. Criminals even steal guns from police officers. All that gun confiscation/deprivation does is prevent people like me, a young man with a clean record, from protecting himself and his family.
You're against illegal guns. But are you against me, a law abiding citizen, having a gun? If so, I can not vote for you and I will attempt to vote you out of office and spread the word that, to you, image is more important than substance.
Image or substance. Your choice. Do the right thing.
Sincerely,
