Thank you for contacting me to express your views on gun ownership and violence prevention. I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue.
As you know, on January 16, 2013, President Obama announced a series of legislative proposals and executive actions intended to reduce gun violence. I applaud the President's efforts to close gun purchase loopholes and to create new tools for further background checks.
Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) introduced a bill to regulate assault weapons (S. 150) on January 24, 2013. The proposed legislation bans certain military-style, semi-automatic weapons, and makes it illegal to produce, import, or sell magazines with capacity over ten rounds. The bill has been referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee, where it is currently awaiting further debate and review.
In the past, I supported the original Assault Weapons Ban and the Brady Bill, as well as the Youth Handgun Safety Act of 1993, which prohibits juveniles from possessing or receiving handguns. I look forward to work with my colleagues in the Senate to strengthen responsible legislation to rein in gun violence. We need to work to close the loopholes in existing laws that allow criminals and children to gain access to firearms contrary to the law's intention. One example is the well-known "gun-show loophole" which allows people to purchase firearms at gun-shows without undergoing the background check required when guns are bought from licensed dealers. Lastly, I believe we must support increased gun-safety and gun-use education.
I support the Second Amendment and the rights of law-abiding Washingtonians who own guns. I also remain focused on addressing the deeply troubling violence in this country and making our state and our country as safe as possible for all people, including our most vulnerable citizens, our children. I believe both of these goals are important and can be simultaneously accomplished through common-sense gun laws and stricter enforcement of existing laws.
Along with addressing gun violence, making services for the mentally ill and their families more accessible will encourage those suffering from mental illness to seek needed care and support. Mental health care is a critical component of our healthcare system and an individual's overall health status. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately one in 17 Americans suffers from a seriously debilitating mental illness. I care deeply about mental health care and understand the important role behavioral health services play in the lives of both those who suffer from mental illness and their family and loved ones.
Thank you again for contacting me to share your thoughts on this matter. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future if I can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
Maria Cantwell
United States Senator

January 31, 2013
Dear Mr.
Thank you for contacting me to share your views regarding Second Amendment rights. It is an honor to represent the people of Southwest Washington, and I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with me.
Tragedies like the ones that took place Newtown, CT and Clackamas, OR in recent months have caused devastating loss and lasting grief among families and in communities both here and across the nation. My heart goes out to the families of the victims of these unfathomable crimes. I simply do not have the words to encapsulate the anguish they have experienced.
Understandably, these events often raise questions with regard to public safety. As an elected official, I took an oath to uphold our Constitution, including the Second Amendment contained within it that guarantees the right to keep and bear arms. Law-abiding U.S. citizens deserve to have this right protected. I do believe we should review our current legal safeguards and restrictions to ensure that they are being adequately enforced. I also believe we need to examine our laws to ensure that we are doing what we can to keep criminals and the mentally unstable from obtaining these weapons in the first place.
As you may know, in January of 2013 President Obama called on Congress to enact several laws that would curb gun ownership and increase restrictions on gun purchases. However, shortly after that U.S. Senate Majority leader Harry Reid announced the Senate will not be considering a weapons ban for a vote. Further, the U.S. House Speaker has indicated that the House will wait for Senate action before considering a bill. Should a vote on this issue come before the House, please know that I will keep your thoughts in mind.
Thank you again for contacting me on this important issue. I invite you to visit my website at www.JaimeHB.house.gov for additional information or to sign up to be kept up to date on these issues. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
Jaime Herrera Beutler
Member of Congress
Atleast Blake and Hatfield and Takko appear to wanna keep their job. We'll see.
