Additional gun restrictions are not the answer
I believe that the letter to the editor by Ms. Therriault [“Today, only two reasons for guns,” Jan. 23] is flawed.
She is correct in saying that the reason the Second Amendment was added to the Constitution was to allow the citizens of this new democracy the ability to defend themselves from those who would do them harm. That included our own government.
Checks and balances work only when the electorate has the added ability to remove an unjust government by force of arms if required.
