Got this response yesterday. Refreshing to get a straight-forward answer.

I have stated to the press pretty much what you emailed to me. I will do everything I can to stop any gun control measure in the PA legislature. Thank you for your support of our constitutional rights.

Dear State Senator Eichelberger,

I am a law-abiding citizen and responsible gun owner.

I am saddened by the tragic events in Newtown, Connecticut, but I believe that efforts to impose new restrictions on me and other lawful and responsible owners like me are misguided. Did you know that violent crime with firearms has declined since the Federal "assault weapons ban" expired in 2004?

Your focus should be on strengthening mental health care and improving the quality of data supporting NICS checks (National Instant Criminal Background Check System). Do NOT pass more gun laws; instead, work to enforce the more than 20,000 gun laws already on the books.

I am your constituent and I vote. Please represent me.
