I had to write after reading the March 29 letter, “Military-style weapons out of place in personal use.” Excuse me, but who are you to choose who has guns and what guns I choose to have? Any gun is dangerous — they are made for killing. I enjoy going out and shooting guns and hunting, and yes, I will defend myself, family and house with one if needed. I have issues with people who want to tell me what gun I can or cannot have.
So let’s tell you what car you can have, or you are not allowed to drink alcohol because of all of the deaths it causes, and no more smoking, fried or sugary foods.
Our freedoms are total. I choose what I want and as long as I am not harming anyone else, it is none of your business. Background checks? I do not think so. I had to go through all of that for a job at the post office years ago. But for a gun? No way. We are losing our freedom bit by bit in this country. One day you will open your eyes and find you are no longer free at all. You will have only yourself to blame.
