good letter, but not sure I agree with the acceptance that banning online knife sales is also helpful. companies like heinnies make a lot of effort to ensure you are 18+
No, I don't agree with anything to do with banning selling legal objects on-line either.
I don't often have cause to buy a knife but when I do I don't want to have to drive for miles to collect a simple tool.
Furthermore once they get the idea that banning on-line sales of legal tools and accessories fools the average citizen into thinking something meaningful has been done they may just look at reloading equipment and related expendables.
Living in the South I don't much care for the idea of either having to drive to up Henry Krank or pay unreasonable fees to an RFD every time I want a bullet mould or set of dies.
In my experience letters should be concise and to the point.
The recipient gets hundreds of letters a day - they're skim-reading from the get go.
Write your letter in a manner so that isn't necessary.
Address the subject in hand and tell them why their stance is wrong - with brief citations to support your case.
DO NOT get personal.
DO NOT support or suggest other items they could thrown under the bus instead.
Aside from giving notice that you're open to some sacrifices it provides the perfect excuse to ignore half your letter and focus on the distraction.
