Earlier this week I tried searching the web for sample letters to send to representatives urging for gun control. All I could find was pro-NRA and anti-gun control letters, so I decided to draft my own and send it out into the internet world.
Please use my example to contact your representatives and make your opinions known! I hate to sound like an oblivious optimist but... we can do this!

Dear
President/Senator/Governer/Congressman,
I am
writing to urge your support and action for stricter Federal gun control laws.
In one year on average, almost 100,000 people in America are shot or killed
with a gun. It is appalling that guns can be sold in the United States without
a background check to screen out criminals or the mentally ill.
Sensible
changes in our nation’s guns laws are long overdue. Please work to reinstate a
federal assault weapons ban in the United States and further regulate gun
sales.
Thank you
for your dedication and your invaluable service to our country.
Best
wishes,
Your Name
