A little earlier I published a Diary requesting a small piece of information. That one is gone now and I am grateful to Kossack Burned, who located it for me. Allow me to thank all the others who also tried to help. You are good people.
The original request was so that I might be able to submit the response I received when I inquired about my Senator's attitudes to the gun control debate now underway right across the country.
I published the response from the Senator in that Diary, and a couple of comments remarked on the moderate tone of the letter. Well there is little that is moderate about Sen. Inhofe, indeed I believe he might even be offended at the suggestion!
My own feeling is that it was a typically bland reply from a man so craven that he will not own his opinions in the vain hope that the occasional Democrat might be tempted to vote for him.
I am not really interested in his written answers, I am only concerned about how he votes. On every issue of any substance, I cannot recall this Senator doing any other than voting with whichever rump group stood furthest to the Right.
So below the fold is the reply, and the bolded parts interspersed are my reactions
