LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Gun rights are foundational

The writer of the June 13 letter “Civilians don’t need these guns” could not be more wrong. The hard men who wrote the Second Amendment had not just returned from a hunting trip or recreational target practice. They had just fought a bloody and devastating war against a tyrant king and liberated this nation.

That is why they wrote the Second Amendment, and that is why it should not be tinkered with.
