We can all just write our legislators, which is a another great
American tradition of questionable value.  Here?s an interesting example:

>DATE: 14 May 1999

>TO: Rep. Henry Waxman
>FROM: David Wayne Case
>SUBJECT: .50 Caliber Rifles
>CC: Rep. Mark Sanford, Rep. Robert Barr, Sen. Strom Thurmond,
>Sen. Ernest Hollings

>I have become aware of your furtive attempt to infringe upon my ownership
>of my Barrett rifle. I am a former Captain USMC, state marksmanship
>champion, NRA member, member of the Fifty Caliber Shooter's Association
>and an avid hunter of deer and hogs. To my knowledge, no .50 caliber rifle
>has ever been used in the commission of a crime. My rifle cost $6,750.
>The telescope on the rifle cost $4,500. The ammunition I most often shoot
>costs @ $4.00 per round. While I tell you this, understand that what I'm
>trying to tell you is that I would be an idiot to spend $11,000 on a rifle
to
>risk losing it in the legal aftermath of its illegal use. Get the hell out
of 
>my personal life and go play kissy face with Diane Feinstein, Barney
Frank,
>Charles Schumer and those other leftists.

>I am now an investment banker and make $400,000 per year. I also have
>a Harley Davidson motorcycle and several cars with V-8 engines. Are you
>next going to tell me I don't NEED a V-8 engine ... don't NEED such a
>heavy, powerful motorcycle ... don't NEED a house with five bedrooms ... 
>don't NEED a wife with such large breasts...don't NEED a dog with such
>sharp teeth and so on?

>This kind of "Chicken Little" reactionary noise is entirely useless.  I am
>going to notify every legislator in my food chain that they need to take
>you behind the Capitol and beat the crap out of you.

>CC: Sen. Trent Lott Sen. Orrin Hatch Sen. Susan Collins
