President Trump,[/i]
I just read that you are leaning towards two new anti-gun measures. 1) Ban the sale of "bump stocks" and 2) increase the age on purchase of certain firearms. I do not support this.
Since the Second Amendment to the Bill of Rights specifically reads "...the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." What part of "not be infringed" leads you and our Legislative Branch to think we can legally increase the age to purchase some firearms?
Next, the "bump stock" does not turn a rifle into an automatic weapon. It is just a devise that helps you to pull a trigger quicker. Add to that sentence this thought - There has been only one instance in which a "bump stock" was used to kill a human. Let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater for one inappropriate use of an accessory.
To execute on either one of these anti-gun measures, is to infringe on our rights spelled out in the Second Amendment of the US Bill of Rights.
Sincerely,

Why not apply the same restrictions to the 1st Amendment?
I went to DICK'S website and sent them a message that I would no longer do business with them.
