RE: Brave Liberals, or, "Next Time You're
In Trouble, Call a National Guardsman"
To the Editor:
I never cease to be amazed by the bravery of
liberals such as Bruce Burnaman ("Amendment doesn't guarantee gun
use", Letters, Monday, August 20) who write letters justifying gun
confiscation to major national newspapers such as USA Today which are read by
millions of the fellow citizens they seek to disarm. Burnaman presumably does
not own a gun, and apparently does not wish anyone else to have one, apart from
the Army and National Guard.
Surely Burnaman knows that many of the people
who take note of his letter are gun owners like me who will die before
consenting to disarmament. Surely he understands that people who are willing to
die for a principle, such as the God-given right to keep and bear arms in
defense of life and liberty, are often willing to kill in defense of that same
principle.
So give a nod of respect to the victim
disarmament advocates such as Bruce Burnaman of Woodstock, GA. The Burnamans of
America are willing to risk the personal wrath of millions of uncompromising gun
owners should the Second Amendment be gutted as they propose. Gun owners by
definition own guns; Mr. Burnaman does not. Brave man. Brave, that is, if he's
thought through what he's advocating. If not, he's merely foolish. Perhaps he
should buy a firearm for protection, just in case. Or, if he's intellectually
honest, the next time he feels threatened he can put in a call to the local
National Guard armory. I'm sure they'll hurry right on over.
