Gun owners not a militia

and not ‘well-regulated’

Re: “AR-15, not a knife, is mass murder tool of choice” (Letter to the editor, March 21):

Andrew Pohlman makes a great argument for gun management. Military-style weapons are the choice of mass shootings, and must be dealt with.

I am thrilled with the quick response of New Zealand to rid itself of this after the first incident.

We have had so many of these in the United States and still have not effectively addressed the problem. We know there will be more shootings, we have done nothing to address the issue.

The NRA and others who claim it is their right to own guns based on the Second Amendment need to reread it and focus on words they have ignored: “Well-regulated militia.”
