Get behind the gun cause

To the editor:

No name was printed as the author of the misleading editorial on gun control in the March 1 Frontiersman. I find being anonymous suspect as to your real opinion on this subject. Nevertheless, I understand you don’t like HR45 (Blair Holt’s Firearm Licensing and Record Act of 2009). No self-respecting gun owner would like this legislative action, and we should oppose it will all our efforts and resources, but the author of this article is no friend to gun owners.

Contrary to the opinion of the author, everything is wrong with gun registration. Whether you use firearms to hunt, to practice proficiency with the weapon you use for self-protection, or use it to enjoy any number of the shooting sports, from Sporting Clays to Bull’s-eye Pistol Shooting competition. What’s needed is enforcement of the laws that are in effect. What’s needed is all states supporting the Second Amendment in unison. Not more registration, not more confusion between the states.

What is it in the words, “the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” that the author does not understand? Either support the Second Amendment as it is written with your whole being, or shut the heck up. You’re not helping. You’re making matters worse. You’re assuming all other gun owners agree with you by accepting registration in some instances. You’re wrong.

Get behind the cause.
