[QUOTE="BillM, post: 3653146, member: 45785"] Strongly agree. Been sitting on my email from Ms. Bice explaining why she voted for NDAA, and sent this to her today, once I calmed down enough to explicate my reasoning: Ms. Bice, I have been watching our 2nd Amendment rights being eroded by poorly considered legislation since I was 13 years old. I'm 66 now. Essentially, what you voted for was to restrict the rights of my brothers and sisters who are still under arms in the active duty military. This, to me, is no less an assault on our civil rights than the similar provision currently in the VAWA, or the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2021 (H.R. 1620). You should have voted against The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) until those restrictions were removed, just as I expect you to vote against VAWA. Do not compromise my civil rights, or those of my fellow citizens and brothers and sisters in the military, if you want to get my vote when next you're up for re-election. And do not think that I'm the only person who feels this way. If you want to be my representative, BE my representative. That means that you work unceasingly to protect and defend my rights.
