Just received this reply from Ms. Hagan regarding renewing the AWB.

Dear Friend,
Thank you for contacting me regarding the Federal Assault Weapons Ban. I greatly appreciate hearing your thoughts on this important issue.

Like you, I have always been an advocate for Second Amendment rights. My family, like the great state of North Carolina, has a long tradition of hunting and gun ownership, and I take great pride in that heritage. During my tenure in the North Carolina Senate I continuously supported the responsible use of firearms. As your United States Senator, I will continue working to protect these fundamental, constitutional rights while opposing onerous restrictions on gun ownership.

As you may know, the Federal Assault Weapons Ban provision of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 expired in September of 2004. While I understand the concerns of those who do not wish to see it renewed, I do support its reauthorization. During my tenure in the North Carolina Senate, I considered crime prevention a top priority. In discussing this issue with law enforcement officials across the state, they told me this law has been an important tool in preventing crime and keeping our streets safe. National police organizations such as the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the International Brotherhood of Police Officers, and the Fraternal Order of Police have all expressed support for the ban.

Again, thank you for contacting my office. It is truly an honor to represent North Carolina in the United States Senate, and I hope you will not hesitate to contact me in the future should you have any further questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Kay Hagan

I replied to her email and let her know rather bluntly that she'd lost my vote and many others in the next election.

Please do the same. Below is her website address. Let her know how you feel.

Does anyone have a physical copy of her response letter or know of a source that proves what Kay Hagan's position was on the AWB in 2009? She has said nothing this time, and when I called on Monday her office lackey dodged the question by saying "she hasn't seen the bill yet". I believe she's trying to vote for the AWB behind the scenes so preserve her "pro 2nd" image.

The most frustrating thing is that crime and gun control have the exact opposite correlation to the one they propose:

More gun control = more crime

Not the tired "more control = less crime" that they claim. So many studies from truly independent research have indicated this. Ultimately though, it's not gun control they're after...it's population control. They just can't sell that so they substituted "population" with the word "gun" to suck in the fools if the world.
