Letter about Support for gun rights…

October 24, 2016 by Fillmore County Journal

To the Editor,

I get the impression that some of the special interest groups trying to influence the election should brush up on their history.

The second ammendment gives us citizens the right to bear arms. Perhaps those gun opponents missed school when the constitution was discussed.

Yet, some of Representative Greg Davids’ critics sound like they want to take our guns away. It’s as if they are blaming Davids and law-abiding gun owners for the recent rash of shootings across this nation.

This kind of thinking defies logic.

If politicians really wanted to make a difference, they would crack down on the criminals who steal and possess firearms with the solde purpose of committing another crime. Let’s get the guns out of the hands of criminals, and I bet we’d put a huge dent in the number of mass shootings.

And, as long as Greg Davids supports gun rights for people who obey the law, I’ll support him.

Sincerely,

Esther Skaran
Spring Valley, MN
