I got this wishy washy response from mine. Canned response, but at least I tried.
Dear Mr. Wiley,
Thank you for contacting me to share your views on the issue of gun control. I appreciate you taking the time to make me aware of your position on this very important issue.
Our nation has endured a tragic epidemic of gun violence and mass shootings. As the husband of a retired principal and teacher, and the father of two boys, the fact that so many of these incidents have taken place on school campuses hits particularly close to home. Though there will never be a single law – or set of laws – that eliminates all gun violence in our county, I believe that Congress should take a comprehensive approach toward gun safety by enacting common-sense solutions that preserve the rights of responsible gun owners. No, these pragmatic steps won’t stop all acts of gun violence, but they will prevent many tragedies, and they will save lives.
I take my oath to defend the Constitution – including the Second Amendment – very seriously. Please know that I will continue to work with my colleagues in a bipartisan fashion to address gun violence in a way that respects the rights of law-abiding gun owners.
Again, thank you for contacting me about this important issue. Please do not hesitate to contact me again on this or any other matter.
Sincerely,
Denny Heck
Member of Congress
