Senator Ensign describes his effects to object to the report:
A few weeks back, a report was issued by the Department of Homeland Security stating that our servicemen and -women returning from active duty are candidates to commit terrorist attacks. While this is wildly absurd, this report raised some serious red flags about the mission of the Department of Homeland Security. I joined with Senator Coburn this week to send a letter to the Secretary of Homeland Security for further clarification about this report. While a robust intelligence infrastructure is important, the report has no intelligence value and only serves to blur our constitutional protections, such as the Second Amendment. America's returning heroes should not be denied the very Constitutional rights they risk their lives to protect.
Sen. John Ensign's chief of staff had just returned to town from Nevada this week when he noticed a slip of paper tucked into his luggage.
John Lopez showed it to his boss. It was a handwritten note signed by a half dozen employees of the Transportation Security Administration thanking Ensign for pushing gun rights in the District of Columbia.
"To Sen. Ensign: Please continue to defend our conservative values with all your vigor, particularly our Second Amendment! Thank you."
The TSA-ers evidently noted Lopez's business card attached to a piece of checked luggage. Ensign's office was only too happy to share the note, which was reported first this morning in Politico.

The United States Senate has voted, with overwhelming bipartisan support, to adopt an amendment offered by Senator John Ensign (R-NV) that seeks to protect the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens in the District of Columbia. The amendment, attached to S.160, the D.C. Voting Rights Act, will repeal restrictive gun control laws passed by the District of Columbia's (D.C.) city council after the landmark D.C. v. Heller Supreme Court decision. The vote margin was 62-36.

"NRA would like to thank the lead sponsor, Sen. John Ensign for his efforts to reform D.C.'s gun laws and enable folks to protect their property and their loved ones," concluded Cox. "It's time for leaders in Washington to wake up to the fact that the Supreme Court decision is now the law of the land."
