Lindsay: Rethink position on sensible gun regulations

Re: Parker Ward, "Our rights are under attack," Dec. 30, 2C

In his most recent opinion piece, Mr. Parker Ward started out by crying a cupful of crocodile tears for the 20 children massacred in Connecticut and then went on to shed a barrel full of crybaby tears for the NRA.

No one holds the NRA totally responsible for what happened in Connecticut, but the NRA owns a portion of that tragedy, and the NRA's response to the massacre proves that the organization's leadership has no heart, no soul and not much of an intellect.

I suggest that Mr. Ward makes himself aware of what a "well regulated militia" is and the roll that they played in American history, perhaps then he will have a better understanding of just what the second amendment really says.

Mr. Ward offered no suggestion as to how another tragedy like the one in Connecticut could be averted, his only concern was defending the NRA. As a lifelong member of the NRA, Mr. Ward has a responsibility to see to it that his organization does the right thing, especially in the defense of children, and he seems to have no intention of doing so.

The NRA has blood on it's hands and no amount of sophistry will change that. The NRA needs to stop the hyperbolic propaganda campaign that it has waged for decades on behalf of the gun industry and try to become a respectable citizen again and Mr. Ward needs to rethink his position on sensible gun regulation.
