Letter to Rep. Hoell regarding Scott Brown (aka Scott “Take Your Guns Away” Brown):

PENNY S. DEAN

Attorney and Counselor at Law

My name is Penny Dean; I am an attorney who regularly practices before a variety of state and federal courts and administrative agencies.I am also an NRA certified instructor (Basic Pistol, Metallic Cartridge and Shotgun Shell Reloading) as well as an NRA Range Safety Officer. I teach Hunter Education. I am a graduate of the Lethal Force Institute I-III (when Massad Ayoob was LFI Director). I have testified countless times before New Hampshire House and New Hampshire Senate committees. I present analyses of firearms-related legislation. My goal: to help the General Court’s members to understand firearms and other civil rights issues. Let’s look at the FACTS about Scott Brown’s views (and actions/votes) on guns:

FACT:    Scott Brown backs assault gun ban-state & federal

“As a state legislator in Massachusetts I supported an assault weapons ban thinking other states would follow suit. But unfortunately, they have not and innocent people are being killed. As a result, I support a federal assault weapons ban, perhaps like the legislation we have in Massachusetts.” ….. “But Brown earned the endorsement of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg in November’s election…” (Politico 12/20/2012; see http://www.politico.com/story/2012/12/scott-brown-backs-assault-gun-ban-85348.html or http://politi.co/1pBUgtB)

FACT:    Bloomberg Endorses Republican in Heated Massachusetts Senate Race

“The biggest reason the mayor is supporting Senator Brown is the senator’s help on one of our biggest gun issues: opposing concealed-carry reciprocity that would let people with gun permits from rural states like Arkansas and Kentucky carry hidden handguns in New York City,” Mr. Loeser said. [Note: Stu Loeser was Mayor Bloomberg’s Press Secretary, 2006-2012]

Mr. Brown’s spokeswoman, Alleigh Marré, welcomed Mr. Bloomberg’s support

“Mayor Bloomberg is a true independent who always puts progress over politics,” Ms. Marré said. “That’s Scott Brown’s philosophy as well.” (New York Times 7/26/2012; see http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/27/nyregion/bloomberg-gives-support-to-senator-scott-brown.html?_r=1& or http://nyti.ms/1BvnI9X )

FACT:     Mayor Bloomberg rewards Scott Brown for voting against the NRA on a gun control measure

Mr. Bloomberg, through a spokesman, said his endorsement was not about Wall Street at all, but about his desire to reward Mr. Brown for voting against his party and the National Rifle Association on a gun control measure.” (New York Times 7/26/2012; see http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/27/nyregion/bloomberg-gives-support-to-senator-scott-brown.html?_r=2& or http://nyti.ms/1BvnI9X ), also Huffington Post 11/7/2011; see http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/07/scott-brown-nra-national-rifle-association_n_1080707.html or http://huff.to/1o7ozng )

FACT: Scott Brown opposes national reciprocity

Your driver license is good in all 50 states, so why should you not be able to defend yourself and your family in all fifty states? (11/7/2011 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/07/scott-brown-nra-national-rifle-association_n_1080707.html or http://huff.to/1o7ozng)

Don’t let Scott Brown fool you, Scott Brown is no friend of gun-owners. In fact, he is just the opposite. Does he think you’re stupid and unable to do basic research? He just wants your vote, so he can continue on his gun grabbing, Bloomburgler ways. Don’t be fooled. Don’t vote for Scott Brown. Ever!!!!Yours in liberty,
