I am a member of a gun owners of florida FB group. There are several members that have written letters to our senators on state and local level. Many have gotten responses. Here is a cut and paste of the form letter Sen Bill nelson is sending out
Dear Mr. ******:
Thank you for contacting me about policy proposals that seek to reduce gun violence in the wake of the tragedy in Newtown.
I am a hunter and have always owned guns, and I support the Second Amendment.
But assault weapons such as AK 47s are intended for killing, not hunting.
Solutions for reducing gun violence must address many areas, from protecting law enforcement and keeping weapons out of the hands of criminals, to school safety, access to mental health services, and confronting a culture that sometimes glorifies violence.
I support reinstating the assault weapons ban and restoring the 10-round limit for ammunition magazines. And, I support universal background checks so that we can know if person buying a weapon has a criminal record.
I appreciate hearing your views on this very important issue, and I will keep them in mind. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future.
Sincerely,
Bill Nelson

Again, no where in the second does it talk about hunting. Not a fan of him.

I sent him a letter once that asked if they sent him into space before the monkey!
That guy NEVER voted for anything that the party didn't tell him to vote for. He's a fricking puppet to reed, pelosi and all the wacko liberal dems!
:censored dildo nelson :taz
X2! He is a bad Apple, sorry I mean bad Orange for Florida!
Iluv2hunt, at least you got a respose from him. I sent several short , polite, to the point E-mails concerning the 2nd Amendment and Nelson and Obama didn't even acknowledge them. Rubio and Southerland responded. Nelson has family ties in our county but he has never carried this county in an election, does that tell us anything? Treefarmer
