The gun grabbers are out en mass

Editor,

Colorado’s Congress just approved the limitation of the type of firearms a citizen could own and the size of their magazines to 15 rounds. This limitation is in direct contradiction to the second amendment of our Constitution. The intent of this amendment was to ensure that ‘We The People” would be able to combat any attempt by Government to use its power to set up an Aristocracy or Monarchy such as existed prior to people emigrating to the United States of America.

Picture, if you will, the People confronting a Government gone astray with guns limited in size and number to those of a Government force armed with the latest machine guns, AK 47s and other modern weaponry.

None of these restrictions would have prevented the mass shootings recently in New England and Colorado but rather have been used as a diversion in order to disarm the “People.”

The survival of our Republic depends on our freedom guaranteed by the second amendment the Bill of Rights.

Most of us do not own machine guns and other weapons of that variety but if we do not stand up for our rights this is but a first step toward total disarmament of the citizenry.
