I just wrote to a news paper about it ,going to cut and paste"hopfully"The Second Amendment, When I grabbed the STARS AND STRIPES and read the front page, I just smiled. Americans and lawmakers are starting to wake up and realize the need for guns.Guns are a big Part of the reason, why I joined the military was to support and uphold the second amendment. A few years ago, Missouri approved the right to carry concealed firearm. The first year the law was enacted crime rates dropped 13%,this is facts that anti-gunners don't want you to know about. Crime rates are going to drop in D.C.The reason why is now, The hard working law abiding, taxpaying citizen can and will defend themselves .Grandmom who lives in D.C.is not going to run out and start gangbangin and robbing gas stations. People wake up, The criminals already have guns and don't abide by the laws, now hard working honest law biding citizens can defend themselves and property. Remember we are not arming the criminals just the law-abiding citizens.Some people will need to educate themselves and kids about firearms and safe handling of them. My little" second amendment warriors" have been raised around guns all their lives and they teach their friends about guns. Guns are not toys nor are they dangerous either. No gun has ever loaded itself and then discharged itself. People are dangerous not guns.Yes,I believe in gun control, please use both hands.SECOND AMENDMENT WARRIOR!
