In my opinion, the letter “No Sale” of March 15 was just another attack on the Second Amendment, and in particular AR-15’s that are owned by law-abiding citizens. The question here is, why are the leftist in this country so obsessed by these “semi-auto” rifles which are not “assault rifles” that are “fully automatic” and are already illegal for civilian ownership?

The FBI reported to Congress that the prior 10-year ban on “semi-automatic rifles” had no effect on reducing gun violence and that this type of rifles accounted statistically for very few violent acts.

So what’s the real reason why the Democratic candidates for President want to take away law-abiding Americans’ Second Amendment rights to defend themselves and their loved ones? I believe that those of us who love America and our freedoms know why.
