Regarding the Feb. 3 letter, “Second Amendment: Protection from government, too”:
One does not have to watch Fox News for very long to understand how fully and intentionally the labels “communist” and “socialist” have been erroneously conflated with liberals and the Democratic Party. Shame on you for publishing the writer’s thinly veiled threat against our duly elected officials.
It is the writer and anyone else who thinks they have the right to bring a weapon to a political debate who are jeopardizing the Second Amendment. Sooner or later, their hair-trigger propensity to resort to violence will destroy the viability of the Second Amendment entirely. Our founding fathers never intended that we should be subject to the whims of armed strangers. Their lack of moderation will undoubtedly bring the Fourth Amendment and whatever is left of the First down as well.
Shame on them, and shame on you!
