To the Editor:
Enough is enough! Ban assault rifles. Why is this so hard to comprehend? No one is touching anyone’s Second Amendment rights. But if we think that what happened in Orlando was the result of terrorism, think again. This person acted alone. He was on the FBI watch list. Yet under our current laws, he could not get on a plane but could buy an assault rifle. This is illogical.
Listen to people saying, “Obama wants to take away my guns.” Oh, stop. Who needs an assault rifle to hunt a deer?
