I posted this over at ctguntalk.com, so I am just copying and pasting it here. Feel free to do with this as you with, no need to attribute anything to me.

I kind of reworked the letter / email that is on Ruger's website to produce the below. It's completely non-specific to any of the restrictions that are imposed. If you want to oppose the proposed restrictions on magazine size, proposed requirements that gun owners maintian insurance, proposed 50-percent tax on ammunition, etc., you'd need to insert it.
I looked at a bunch of the written testimony submitted in 2011 to oppose the then-proposed limit on magazine capacity. See:

If you want a file of the below, ask and I will try to send it. You should just be able to copy most of this, stick it into an email, modify as you see fit, and send it. The more of us that send in something opposing this nonsense, the better. The more of us that do not us the same exact words, the better also. If you check out the testimony from 2011, you might get an idea on something to include that is not included below.
If anyone wants to edit or change this and post a different suggestion, please do so. My ego is not as important as our liberty.
There were 1,000 of us at the Capitol last Saturday. We should surpass that number by a lot. This is only an email, it's easy.
Thanks to anyone who sends in testimony.

Testimony to the Bipartisan Task Force on Gun Violence Prevention and Children’s Safety.
(Insert your name and address details)
I am a law-abiding citizen and responsible gun owner, residing in _______, Connecticut.
I am saddened by the tragic events in Newtown, Connecticut, but I oppose new restrictions on lawful and responsible owners are misguided. Violent crime with firearms has declined since the Federal "assault weapons ban" expired in 2004. Connecticut has some of the most restrictive laws concerning rifles in the nation. These laws did not stop the events in Newtown. Criminals do not follow the law. People that intend to commit violent criminal acts are not deterred by laws. Horrific acts committed by the evil and/or insane are no reason to punish the innocent and law abiding members of our society.
Please oppose all legislation that restricts the liberty of law-abiding gun owners. Instead, work to enforce the gun laws already on the books.
Sincerely,
(Your name)
