To the Editor:
Gun owners of America, a rousing thank-you is due, especially to those who own AR-15 rifles as they are at the forefront of current anti-gun attacks. There are 15 million AR-15 rifles in America and less than 1000th of one percent have been used in mass killings. One killing is too many, but it is impossible to completely stop determined killers as long as any means exists. Punishing 99.999 percent of legal gun owners is patently ridiculous.
Blaming the NRA or gun manufacturers is even more ludicrous.
