Like many Americans, I am appalled at the level of gun violence in this country. Therefore, I favor reasonable federal gun control measures to limit such violence. While in the U.S. Army, I was trained in a number of small arms, including the M-16 rifle, the military version of the AR-15. As an officer, I carried a .45 caliber pistol during the Vietnam War. As a civilian, I never saw the need to own a gun, but I understand that other law-abiding citizens must have their guns..
Let’s start with a Congressional ban of AR-15-type semi-automatic weapons and bump stocks. |

| Why do many of these liberal rags refuse to provide a comments section in their opinion pieces? |

You're appalled by the amount of "gun" violence?
As Archie Bunker said, "Would it make you feel any better, little girl, if they was pushed out of windows?"
I get the idea that these people would think it was a success if every one of the people killed by means of a firearm was killed by some other means. Still just as dead, but no gun... problem solved?

TO REMEMBER |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
