Chuck Grassley (R-IA), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and signed by 52 other senators.<\/p>\n<p>You can read the letter <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grassley.senate.gov\/news\/news-releases\/grassley-52-senators-condemn-atf-framework-limiting-sporting-ammo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I was pleased to see that both Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) and Sen. Thom Tills (R-NC) were among the signatories of this letter. I&#8217;m batting three for three as my Congressman, Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC-10) had signed on to the House letter.<\/p>\n<p>As Sen. Grassley noted in another <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grassley.senate.gov\/news\/news-releases\/following-pressure-grassley-52-colleagues-atf-withdraws-ammo-ban-proposal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">press release<\/a>, every senator was invited to sign on to his letter to the BATFE. It was signed by 53 out of 54 Republicans and zero out of 46 Democrats. The lone Republican refusing to sign the letter was, as might be expected, Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL). That the few supposed Second Amendment supporters on the Democrat side of the aisle did not sign is, in my opinion, shameful.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the 52 Senators besides Sen. Grassley that signed the letter:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>Senators joining Grassley on the letter include Mike <b>Rounds <\/b>(R-S.D.); John <b>Thune <\/b>(R-S.D.); Cory <b>Gardner <\/b>(R-Colo.); Tom <b>Cotton <\/b>(R-Ark.); John <b>Hoeven <\/b>(R-N.D.); Joni <b>Ernst <\/b>(R-Iowa); David <b>Vitter <\/b>(R-La); Michael <b>Crapo <\/b>(R-Idaho); Jerry <b>Moran <\/b>(R-Kan.); David <b>Perdue <\/b>(R-Ga.); James <b>Risch <\/b>(R-Idaho); John <b>Isakson <\/b>(R-Ga.); Steve <b>Daines <\/b>(R-Mont.); Dean <b>Heller <\/b>(R-Nev.); Jim <b>Inhofe <\/b>(R-Okla.); Richard <b>Burr<\/b> (R-N.C.); Roy <b>Blunt <\/b>(R-Mo.); Lindsey <b>Graham <\/b>(R-S.C.); Bill <b>Cassidy <\/b>(R-La.); John <b>Boozman <\/b>(R-Ark.); Mike <b>Enzi <\/b>(R-Wyo.); Ted <b>Cruz <\/b>(R-Texas); Thom <b>Tillis <\/b>(R-N.C.); Orrin <b>Hatch <\/b>(R-Utah); Jeff <b>Sessions <\/b>(R-Ala.); James <b>Lankford <\/b>(R-Okla.); Richard <b>Shelby <\/b>(R-Ala.); Deb <b>Fischer <\/b>(R-Neb.); Thad <b>Cochran <\/b>(R-Miss.); Shelley <b>Capito <\/b>(R-W.
