To the editor:

Our Constitution was written as a document to stand the test of time.In fact, the Second Amendment was added to the original document. It states A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.It can be changed. Assault weapons should not be in the hands of private citizens.

It is time to change the Second Amendment. Personally, I support the right of people to have a rifle for hunting or a personal gun for protection.Purchasing and being in possession of guns that are meant for mass murders needs to be restricted.

My congressman Tom Emmer's statements on his website need to be changed. Common-sense gun laws are needed. In the words of the president: When in God's name will we get the backbone to stand up to the gun lobby.

Congress is complicit, we need to vote for candidates that will demand changes that will limit weapons that are intended for mass shootings.Congressman Emmer, I encourage you to be a hero and stand up to the gun lobby.

Vote only for candidates that support common-sense legislation regulating weapons of mass murder.It is time in God's name to make a change.
