Subject: To JQB/John Dingell; 15th District



I just read your oversimplification of an answer concerning working people and gun owners. How naive can you get. In the first place the two subjects go hand and hand. For example I will demonstrate this fact.

a) My uncle who lived in Ohio worked for the Goodrich Rubber Company of Akron. He was a standing member of the United Auto Workers at the time. Yet he was a gun owner as he owned several rifles, a couple of handguns and tow shotguns. He also owned a sporting goods shop on his own time. This made him a working person as you described and a gun owner which was concurrent at the same time.

b) My dad worked at Goodyear Company in the same city. Still he owned several guns and yet he was a union mmeber of the same union at the time. He hunted, fished and kept a gun for self protection.

c) I myself worked for a telecommunication company. I was desribed as "blue collar". Still I owned several guns for recreational purposes and hunted at the same time. At this duration, I belonged to the Communication Workers of America, a telephone union.

You can't operate with an oversimplification of facts. The express purpose of defeating John Dingell was from forces hostile to him because he was a member of the National Rifle Association. Let us face the facts, their efforts to defeat him failed. Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D)-California orchestrated this failure wen she endorsed and worked for the anti-gun Lynn Rivers. The anti-gun movement did indeed suffer a major defeat in the newly developed 15th district in Michigan. Working, blue collar Democrats who owned guns defeated the elitistic lapdog of the anti-gun movement...Lynn Rivers.
Sometimes facts are ascertain, JQB. Get real!
