Don't take my guns away from me!

Normally I'd post this in my Political Arena, but for fear of it getting overlooked I thought I'd make it into a regular post.

So Barack is anti-gun. Fine. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion... except that he's our President. Not so fine anymore. And he's wanting other anti-gun people in office. Really not fine. Especially when considering just who it is that he wants. I'm speaking of Eric Holden - our President's nominee for Attorney General.
Consider this:
last year there was a an attempt to ban all handguns in the city of Washington D.C. Holden was a major player in pushing this ban. Naturally there was an out-cry citing our 2nd Amendment right. The anti-gun-pushing response to this was that the 2nd Amendment was intended as a collective liberty, not an individual liberty.
Holy twist-and-misconstrue-our-founding-fathers'-words-from-the-documents-that-established-our-country-and-freedoms Batman!
Seriously. Regardless of your personal opinion about guns, would you really feel safe knowing that the person in office is someone that tries to misconstrue the wording of the Bill of Rights to serve his own agenda? How 'bout the Constitution?
Even if you agree with him on this particular issue, what about the next time? What if you don't agree?
AM I THE ONLY ONE ABSOLUTELY FRIGHTENED AT THIS POSSIBILITY?

So here is the purpose of this post. Normally when I hear political stuff like this I get all fired up but then don't know what to do about it. Then I feel helpless and insignificant, then frustrated, then doomed, then I just want to cover my ears and hide. This time I found a way to take action and feel like I'm doing something to voice my beliefs. I emailed my senators to vote against Eric Holden as Attorney General. And I'm urging you to email your senators as well. One way or another. Obviously I'm hoping you'll agree with me and ask your senators to vote against him. And if you don't happen to have your senators' names and email addresses on hand you can go to the site I used
http://gunowners.org/activism.html
(unless you are anti-gun -- in which case you'll probably want to find your own site).
You put in your address and it finds your Senators' info and emails it to them.
Cool, huh? So go do it.
Now.
If you want.

In conclusion, I'd like to leave you with a thought from a show I don't actually follow, but happened to watch one night. It's called The Eleventh Hour and this particular episode was all about a company that would decapitate people once they were dead and freeze the head so that in the future when there was a cure for their disease they could be brought back to life. (Think Walt Disney)
So at the end of the show the one FBI agent asked the other if he thought it should be outlawed. His response was this:
"While the science is flawed and the ethics are questionable, if you outlaw immortality then the only immortals will be outlaws."
