LibertyForAll: An Open Letter to All Favoring Gun Restrictions
LibertyForAll: An Open Letter to All Favoring Gun Restrictions

Posted 6/13/2002
I’m writing to those who call for new laws restricting the use of guns in
an effort to help you understand the positions of those of us who oppose
such laws and advocate the ownership of guns for self-defense. On Tuesday,
February 29, a first-grader used a gun to kill a classmate in Michigan.
The very next day, on Wednesday, March 1, a man near Pittsburgh killed two
and wounded three more in a racially motivated murder spree. And yet,
while I mourn these deaths as horrible tragedies, I am more resolved than
ever that my position on firearms is the correct one. You must be
wondering what is going on with my thinking. I’m happy to tell you.
