Letter to the Editor: ''Constitution worthless if gun limits upheld''

A well-written letter to the editor appeared in Sunday's Columbus Dispatch. Because the Dispatch's website is subscription-based, we are archiving the entire letter here:

"Ohio law effectively extinguishes the right to bear arms specifically guaranteed by Ohio's Constitution. In her March 16 Forum column, "Legislators shirk pressing issues to push gun bill", Mary Ann Edwards suggested that the Ohio Supreme Court is likely to uphold the present statutes in an upcoming case.

If the court does so, we can stop wondering whether the Constitution means what it says about the right to bear arms. At that point, we will know that the Constitution really doesn't mean anything at all.
