Dear Editor: Bravo to Dave Zweifel for championing reasonable gun laws in Wisconsin and across the nation.

I am not against guns or the Second Amendment. I am a hunter and conservationist.

My brother has been in law enforcement all his adult life. His resume includes MP as a Vietnam vet, State Patrol officer, sergeant of police, and swat team captain. He will be the first person to tell you that there is no need for citizens to own machine guns/assault rifles like those used at Sandy Hook, etc.

What politicians like Scott Walker don't understand is the far-reaching affects of their pro-gun legislation. They ignore the police and the majority of citizens in their constituency, while receiving lucrative campaign financing from the faceless and self-serving NRA.

God Bless America.
