Dear President Obama and Members of Congress
This is a Colt Model 1911A1 chambered in .45 ACP. The design turns 100 years old this year and in celebration, I thought I would take this opportunity to remind you of a few things.
In 1911, (120 years after the Second Amendment to the Constitution was adopted) John Browning designed this gun for American’s to defend themselves against the forces of a tyrannical government that tried to increase its power subjugate rights of free people. This was the Central Powers in World War 1. They lost.
In 1942, this particular gun was issued to my Grandfather to defend himself against the forces of a tyrannical government that tried to increase its power and subjugate the rights of free people. This was the Empire of Japan in World War II. They lost.
When he passed away, he left it to me in case I ever needed it to defend myself against the forces of a tyrannical government that seeks to increase its power and subjugate the rights of free people. You might want to keep that in mind….
Just so we are clear, this gun is mine and I will NEVER give it to you. I will not register it, surrender it, allow you to “Buy it back”, submit it to you for “ballistics finger printing”, allow you to see that is “stored properly”, or modify it with “smart gun technology or micro-Stamping technology” (if they ever get developed). I will not “store it in a locked container” with the ammunition “stored separately” unless I feel like it. I will never place in a mandated “safe storage facility” like a gun club and certainly not a police station. I will not use “numbered bullets” in it. I will always use the magazine it was designed to use regardless of whether you think that is too many rounds or not. When I pass away, I will “transfer” it (among many others) to my children for the same reasons my grandfather gave it to me. And I will NEVER ask you for your “permission “to do so. This is my RIGHT as an American, given to me by God, and preserved and protected through for over 100 years by Millions of brave men and women in uniform, many of whom have carried the Colt model 1911A1 and continue to do so today.
