I understand wanting a small number of guns for hunting or self-defense, but huge caches and assault type weapons make no sense. I dont think they would succeed in defending ourselves from our own government, nor that that is needed. No cache of assault weapons and ammunition for a regulated militia can defeat the US military.

Laws allowing civilians to legally purchase military grade weapons are outrageous and disgraceful. The men and women in government who refuse to enforce sensible gun safety regulations are morally bankrupt. Weapons that are specifically designed to kill massive numbers of people with brutal speed should be contained to the battlefield. The fact that they have made it into the classroom is a national disgrace.

I repsonded to the article

There is so much wrong in this letter, that I don't know where to start.
First of all, my right to be armed, in ANY WAY I choose, was given to me by God!! The 2nd Amendment supposedly keeps the government from interfering in that right. 26,000 plus gun laws notwithstanding, I still have that right.

I was not at Parkland, I didn't shoot anyone. Why should my rights be infringed?

You even admitted that the kid took the gun from his father, who was over 21. How would preventing people under 21 from buying arms have stopped that killing?

In case you were not aware, murder is illegal. Why didn't that law stop the shooting? What makes you think one more law would have helped?

To be continued

Continued:

Several times in the past few years, terrorists drove trucks into crowds, killing and injuring many. Did you write a letter demanding common sense car control?

Hoplophobes such as you should not be allowed access to a PC or a typewriter, to prevent you from placing your illogical rants in front of the public!

Typical libtard drivel from someone who doesn't understand word one of the Founding Documents.

You absolutely CAN NOT burden the rights of law-abiding people for the bad acts of others, and that includes removing the fundamental Second Amendment rights of those who are of legal age to vote, serve in the military and police, enter into contracts, are charged and tried as adults, and marry without anyone else's consent.

You and those like you seem to think that we should voluntarily give up certain rights that you perceive to be dangerous, but the Bill of Rights exists to prevent the government, acting on the "will of the majority", from taking them away. If we decide that no, we will not give up those rights, you have no legitimate power to take them from us.
