I got this random email from him...Anyone else in hisDistrict get one?
You will be pleased to know that as a member of the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus, I am committed to protecting the Second Amendment rights of responsible, law-abiding gun owners. I was the only member of the Connecticut congressional delegation to sign onto the congressional amicus brief in the case of District of Columbia v. Dick Heller which supported the right of individuals in the District of Columbia to be able to keep firearms in their homes. I believe that this is a fundamental right and was pleased when the United States Supreme Court ruled in favor of Mr. Heller in their landmark legal decision.
I have also supported legislation which seeks to protect the rights of gun owners across the country. I am a strong proponent and co-sponsor of the Veterans Heritage Firearms Act of 2009 (H.R. 442). This bill allows former service members to legally keep firearms collected during wartime as a souvenir and to pass them along to family members. In addition, you may also be interested to know that I was the only member of the Connecticut congressional delegation to support the "Coburn amendment," which allows law abiding gun owners to carry firearms in National Parks and wildlife refuges where permitted by state law. This amendment was added to H. R. 627 which was signed into law by President Barack Obama on May 22, 2009.
Sincerely,
JOSEPH COURTNEY
