In my opinion it's not a <br /> 30 fair proposal and has not been publicized enough for accurate consideration. <br /> 31 <br /> 32 Thank you for your service and consideration and please contact me at any time. <br /> 33 <br /> 34 Tony Holleman <br /> 35 530 Jericho Rd. <br /> 36 Hillsbourough, NC 27278 <br /> 37 919-644-0868 <br /> 38 <br /> 39 <br /> 40 A law will never give me the right to do what is wrong. So you mean to tell me if someone <br /> 41 breaks in my house between the hours of 6 PM and 10 AM I cannot pull the trigger to protect <br /> 42 my family because I might disturb someone else down the road picking flowers in her garden. <br /> 43 <br /> 44 My Second Amendment protects me from any of the Unlawful discriminating laws Orange <br /> 45 County might be trying to write and pass. People have bled and died in order to protect this <br /> 46 right that you selfishly and cowardly here are trying to take away. I pay taxes. Stay the hell off <br /> 47 my land and stay out of my personal business ...this should not be hard for you to do nor <br /> 48 understand which you protect and stand for the killing of 4000 innocent children each and every <br /> 49 day in their mothers womb while screaming stay out of their vagina. <br /> 50 <br />
