   Here’s the letter I sent a minute ago to the committee (not my best writing, but this has been a less than ideal week here):

   Dear Senators,

   I am writing to thank Senator Richard Martinez for voting against SB 5 in the previous committees, the “red flag” bill, and to urge the rest this committee and the State Senate to vote likewise against this atrocious, anti-freedom piece of legislation.

   SB 5 tramples the freedoms that are supposed to be protected by the Second, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Amendments, as follows:

   * It allows for the forcible disarmament of people who need to have firearms the most — the five-foot, 100-pound woman being stalked by a deranged, six-foot, 200-pound ex-boyfriend who calls law enforcement and tells them that she’s “suicidal.”

   * The bill allows for ex parte proceedings to take place, where the respondent is not only denied the right to offer a defense to the court, but the respondent is not even aware that the proceedings are taking place. Thus the respondent is denied the chance to confront his or her accuser, or to call witnesses in his or her defense.

   Thank you for listening to my views.

   It seems that quite often, people get confused between FB Groups and Pages.

   I wasn’t aware that groups could request membership in other groups.

   However, Facebook Pages can be admitted to groups — there are three in my NM Libertarians group.

   Is it possible that the Cowboys for Trump page (representing the organization) requested a membership here?
