From Todd Young's Facebook page:
"To clear up any confusion, several letters went to the President regarding 2nd Amendment Rights. I voiced my concerns about this issue by signing on Rep. Benishek's letter. Please go to the following link to see the letter:"

I really did like the tone of Rokita's letter.
I wish it had specified "magazines" along with "certain firearms and ammunition". I hope that omission was accidental and not a way of indicating they are open to mag limits but not another awb or ammo laws.
The part where he points out that the 2a means what it says is pretty good.

i'm guessing it wasn't accidental. 30 round mags will likely be the sacrificial lamb this go-round.
Good! As he's my rep too, [STRIKE]I'm looking forward to seeing what he wrote.[/STRIKE] Oops...should have read through the entire thread--wasn't expecting it to be done already. I like TR's better, but let's unite and press forward and hold their feet to the fire!
I like TR's letter, but one line there kind of makes me groan slightly: "The Supreme Court has ruled the Second Amendment means what it says"...I wish that's what they said. But I remember comments from Scalia, I think, that allowed room for limitations on this right--hardly "shall not be infringed".

see post #42 for link, it was penned by a Rep from MI.
Yeah...post edited.
I like both letters. Both do leave a little more to be desired but attention spans wane as the letter grows.
That being said, The letter Young signed makes more of an emotional play (i.e. what the liberals are trying to use to get this passed) versus TR's which is very straightforward and logical.
I think, honestly, having these two separate letters is better than either one could be on it's own.

I'm glad he's made a statement, but my disappointment is not completely abated. Though I agree with the letter he signed, I can see why he signed that one and not Todd Rokita's. Young tends to prefer "safe" statements on issues that leave him wiggle room.
He, or any member of Congress, can say "I support the 2nd amendment". President Obama said that too. How many people have said that yet still support AWB, mag capacity limits, universal NICS, registration!
I want my representatives lay it out there like Todd Rokita has. I have no doubt how Rokita feels about any new infringements because he's addressed that. Young, and for that matter, Coats, both need to man up and drop the political hedging.
