Letter to the Editor: Attack on Second Amendment threatens all

In answer to a letter to the editor published July 9, those elected in the Senate who want to usurp our constitutional right, namely the Second Amendment, are as follows - Clinton, Kerry, Kennedy, Feinstein, Schumer, Lautenberg, and, of course, there are a few others. The Second Amendment stipulated in the Constitution states that the citizens have a right to keep and bear arms. These same senators claim that only the National Guard should have guns. Sometimes I wonder how these people got elected in the first place.
[Some] in the Democratic party believe that this constitutional document is outdated and meaningless. However, if we don't strictly adhere to this document we will lose all freedoms. If the First and Second amendments are lost, then we have lost all of them.
If more gun laws are implemented, the next step could be a fingerprinting proposal that would do nothing to fight crime and would serve as a back doorway to register your guns and give the government bureaucrats the power to decide if you are "fit" to own a firearm. A huge new gun and ammunition tax would shut down hunting for all but the wealthiest Americans.
This right for Americans to own firearms has been in existence since the Constitution was written. It is a simple matter of freedom. John Kerry has voted 51 of 55 opportunities against the Second Amendment of this Constitution to take these rights from law abiding citizens.
These are some things which will probably happen if Kerry gets elected:
No one in public office is more extreme than John Kerry when it comes to taking away your Second Amendment rights.
The Second Amendment to our Constitution is our first homeland security - when guns are banned, only criminals will have guns.
The U.N. has already said that they want to strip away one of our constitutional rights by taking away our guns. These guns are needed for the protection of our homes and the protection from a tyrannical government, which may try to take away our freedoms. The freedoms we enjoy are being eroded by this United Nations and if Mr. Kerry is elected, further erosion will take place.
Enough said!
