A Comment about the illegality of S. 679 (Vanity)

My comment was sent to both Virginia Senators in response to Senate Bill S.679. I hope other FReepers will contact their Senators as well. If you wish to use my comment verbatim, please feel free to do so.

Senator ___________ I am writing this comment to you today to ask you to vote against S. 679 when the bill comes up for a vote. The bill is a violation of the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 14th Amendments to the Constitution. The bill calls for the registration of all guns and gun owners. Such coercion would disuade some citizens from purchasing firearms as they see fit; also, the Registration section of S.679 is an outright invasion of the privacy and anti-descrimination rights that American citizens enjoy. I am a gun owner, that fact does not make me responsible the actions of people who commit crimes with firearms, and persuant to the 5th and 6th Amendments to the Constitution, I can not be punished for said actions without due process.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

Spelling errors corrected.

spelling Nazi LOL!

[txnativegop]

Thank you, I didn’t catch those errors. Have a good day!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I used it to write my Senators and the spell checker caught it.

So you advocate sending misspelled letters to Congress that make us look ignorant?

[txnativegop]

You are familiar with the term “typo” yes? It happens. If they dismiss the argument because of misspelled words, they are revealing their character or the lack of it.

Such things need not be perfect. Have a nice day!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Thanks for the info!

I'm glade you tol me dat I don need ta wurry bout speln.

[txnativegop]

A litte overdone don’t you think? I understand the point you make, but you take it too far. There were three words misspelled, not the entire comment. Sheesh! LOL

[E. Pluribus Unum]

All I was doing was giving people a clean copy to use.

You're the one who took exception.

[txnativegop]

In that case, I will offer my sincerest apology to you, E.Pluribus Unum.

I misinterpreted what you were trying to say.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I actually used it and sent it to my Senators.

Did you?

[txnativegop]

Yes.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Did you use the misspelled one?

[txnativegop]

With one and I used yours with my other Senator.

[txnativegop]

If you know of a guncontrol ping list please forward your copy to them.

[Last of the Mohicans]

“does not make me responsible FOR the the actions of people...” If you’re going to make a clean copy, make sure you get it all. ;)

[E. Pluribus Unum]

So it’s better to send one without misspellings?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I just went for misspellings.

Don't fix the grammar or they'll call you a Nazi.

I would prefer it, but the original was typed on the email comment section of Senator Warner; I did not notice a spell check function either. Believing as I did about the correctness of the spelling, I sent it to Warner.

I personally prefer properly spelled documents, however, I doubt seriously that Warner’s staff will notice it, and if they do oh well. I am sure that my comment was among the best spelled and gramatically correct comments they receive.

I am sure that my comment was among the best spelled and gramatically correct comments they receive.

Which is why they feel free to ignore us.
