Time to get rid of the Second Amendment?

I am writing in response to the letter, “The Love of Guns Trumps the Love of Fellow Man," by Angela Lee.

I urge Ms. Lee to join forces with the “Delete the Not" campaign, whose aim is deletion of the word “not” from the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, or better yet, to delete the Second Amendment entirely.

Only when that happens will we find the way be clear to protecting ourselves, through national-level legislation, from trigger-happy citizens armed to the teeth with military-style weaponry.

James Henderson, Conway
