Philadelphia Mayor in Hiding
At least on the Internet. I tried sending him the following message:
The media has tried their best to burden news article / poll combinations such as this one with loaded choices of people for positions as well as loaded language in order to turn the tide away from Second Amendment rights towards "common sense."
Fortunately, We, The People aren't about to let you or any other anti-Constitutional politician infringe upon our Second Amendment rights, particularly after the Supreme Court of the United States of America undeniably affirmed it as an individual right, as did the U.S. Congress back in it's 1982 Congressional Report on the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (enclosed).
It's not long, but it was well-researched, and everyone holding political office at any level in the United States would serve their community best by giving it a read. I suggest you print it, read it, and learn some history about which most mayors throughout the U.S. are apparently unaware.
By the way, in answer to the poll's question:
Should Congress ban high-volume ammo clips?
The current tally is:
Yes: 24.11%
No: 75.89%
The above facts should be sending a clear and unambiguous message to our civic leaders:
HANDS OFF THE SECOND AMENDMENT / STOP YOUR UNCONSTITUTIONAL INFRINGEMENT OF OUR SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS.
We, The People have spoken. It's high time you start listening.
I spent more than twenty years serving in the U.S. Military, carrying out an oath sworn by all military officers to protect and defend our Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. I didn't spend those twenty years sacrificing a previously existing career, my marriage, and loosing four good friends during my time of service only to stand idly by as people unfamiliar with the Constitution or the principles of our Founding Fathers attempt to tear down the foundations upon which our great country were built.
Sincerely,
The People
Here was the response I received from his server:

Giving up on 64.18.7.10.
Lol! If the server's that smart, then Philadelphians should follow suite.
