The Ammo Ban (AB962) and the Gunshow Ban (SB585) have passed all legislative checks, and have been on your desk for more than a week. If you do nothing, these will become law. Our Second Amendment rights have been under attack by Democrats in California for decades and these two bills are more of the same. These will do NOTHING to prevent or prosecute criminals, only to disarm their victims, the law abiding citizens.

I was to understand that you are a Republican. Republicans believe in our Constitutional Rights. Kennedy Democrats do not. Are you a Republican or a Kennedy Democrat? Do you believe in the Second Amendment which specifically states that our right to keep and bear arms should not be INFRINGED? Republicans believe this, Kennedy Democrats do not. 

The fact that these two bills have been sitting on your desk for over a week indicates that your critics may be correct: you are a Republican In Name Only (RINO). I voted for you in the past, but if you have any future ambitions for political office, I suggest that you stop being a "girly-man" and veto the damn bills!

In 1776, the good people of Massachusetts led the colonies in a declaration of war on Britain, an oppressive monarchy that among other things, levied excessive taxes as a punitive weapon against the people. In 1947, the people of Massachusetts appointed another monarchy that for 62 years has, among other things, levied excessive taxes as a punitive weapon against the people.

The very fact that a single person can serve 47 years as a Senator is reason enough to seriously consider term limits. The Kennedys embody the very core belief of liberals that the common people are too stupid to make decisions for themselves. Instead, we need a ruling class to tell us how to run our own lives. And so was created "Camelot."

We have allowed the Kennedys the privileges of royalty to be above the law. Ted Kennedy was given a pass for Chappaquiddick. If a "commoner" had committed such an act of criminal irresponsibility, they would have been imprisoned and any public career ruined. While Ted Kennedy lobbied for and passed punitive estate and inheritance taxes that have forced families to sell off businesses and farms that have been in their families for generations, Ted Kennedy benefited from trusts and private foundations and offshore accounts in Fiji that have shielded the Kennedy fortune from the IRS.

The Kennedys seem to have an entitlement attitude toward governing (not to be confused with serving) the people. John, Robert, Ted, and now Patrick Kennedy all have devoted their lives to imposing their rule over the masses with the consent of the liberal people of Massachusetts. Luckily, Caroline's entitlement to the Senate was derailed by an interview that should have been more ridiculed than Sarah Palin's Katie Couric performance; but, she is royalty after all and Sarah is just a commoner like the rest of us. Ted Kennedy alone, given the spending and debt imposed on future generations, has probably spent more of my money than I have.

So, I hope that Teddy Kennedy will rest in peace. I never wished illness or death on the man. Only that he would lose his day job. Let's agree to put an end to the monarchy.
