The Second Amendment does not say you have the right to bear arms.(Photo: Getty Images/iStockphoto)

If you read the Second Amendment, it does not say you have the right to bear arms. 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.

How many people belong to a militia? Ill bet that not one executive of the NRA belongs to one. Why does anyone need an MK47, AR-15, M4 or Glock 9mm? I keep a baseball bat. I can get to it faster than trying to load a gun. Any intruder is going to think he got shot. He is going to wish he got shot.

LETTER: God help middle class, poor under Trump

England has strict laws and restrictions on guns. Even their police dont carry them. Gov. Chris Christie was a proponent of tough gun control legislation until he decided to run for president. He needed the NRA backing and money. Why? Because the NRA has lots of lobbyists and money, and most politicians have deep pockets.

Im not against guns. My father had a 12-gauge shotgun. It was always kept unloaded and the shells were hidden He used to hunt. If he didnt, we wouldnt have meat.

People are being shot every day. Thats all you read and see. The politicians wont require any gun registration or gun restrictions because of the money from the NRA, gun manufacturers and ammunition-makers.
