Today, I write to you, my constituents, with a heavy heart. The bill that I, and many of my colleagues worked on tirelessly to pass through Congress was vetoed by our President at a signing statement. Not only was it vetoed, but it was also grossly misrepresented, as it was referred to as the “Child Gun Ownership Bill.” I’m offended, and you should be too.
To have our second amendment right continually trampled on is a crime, and an affront to
many law-abiding, gun-toting citizens—many of whom reside in our district. I’m personally outraged at the audacity of this administration, which believes that it’s in the best interest of the American people to limit freedoms and tell us exactly how we should live our lives as proud and responsible gun owners.
Do not lose hope, for I will continue to fight for you and make sure that this administration understands that they cannot tread on us. Thank you for your support as I undergo these trials.
God Bless America.
Keep on shooting straight,
Congressman Marsha Blackburn (TN-07)
My apologies to Congresswoman Blackburn. I did mischaracterize your bill as the "Child Gun Ownership Bill." I meant to call it the "Guns for Tots" bill.
