To the editor:
[Ken] White speaks of “productive conversation” in the debate over gun control. What some fail to understand is that many of us who support gun rights view gun control with the same disdain as female circumcision. Thus, we will not even discuss compromising our rights.
This includes (especially) national gun registration, disguised as background checks. Such a requirement can facilitate wholesale gun confiscation at the whim of any renegade official.
The meaning of the 2nd Amendment is crystal clear. Patrick Henry said it best: “Unless a miracle in human affairs interposed, no nation ever retained its liberty after the loss of the sword and the purse.”
