Anti-gun extremists, from Walla Walla to New York, need to remember one incontrovertible fact: Americans regard the Second Amendment as sacrosanct and inviolable, just like the First Amendment.
After dancing in fresh blood, anti-gun radicals are now demanding gun control to stop the mass shootings. There are mass shootings in Chicago, weekly, and Chicago has tough gun-control laws.
Vicious drug gangs, like MS-13, are responsible for a lot of these shootings, and many of its members are illegal immigrants.
So, what’s the far left’s solution? Give sanctuary to these violent criminals and blame the NRA for the gun violence. And the left wonders why Donald Trump was propelled to the White House. |

Good letter, Curtis, but you exhibit the same inadvertent carelessness demonstrated by so many 2A advocates.
The Constitution didn't 'give' us the right, the Founding Fathers didn't 'give' us the right, our CREATOR gave us the right.
This is not an insignificant point of semantics, it is the central premise of American liberty, the FIRST First Principle.
All rights and liberty are endowed by God, not by men, not even exemplars like our Founding Fathers.
If we don't remember that, if we don't insist on honoring that First Principle, then we have no basis for real, unalienable liberty. |

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
