Dear Mr. La Pierre.

        A letter to Wayne LA Pierre. For some reason, Mr. La Pierre, you folks seem to think that the Second Amendment is sacrosanct, that nobody can modify it in even the slightest way. But even though they are part of the Bill of Rights, they are amendments to the constitution. And remember that Amendments can be nullified if necessary. Remember that the 18th Amendment, prohibition, was repealed by the 21st Amendment eliminating prohibition.
       And even without eliminating the 2nd, there certainly is the right of the citizenry to limit the types and sizes of firearms. Its not inconceivable that semi-automatic-firearms, partly because of their ease of conversion to fully automatic, and partly because of their capacity to hold high capacity clips, would be reasonably outlawed.
       After all, they are intended for and used by military infantry personal. There is no reasonable civilian use for such weapons. Now Wayne, settle down. If people really want to carry and fire such weapons, let them join the Army or Marines. Of course, you and I might not meet the requirements of the military as pertains to age and physical conditioning. For us its just too late.
       Americans reject the idea that its okay for so called "real Americans" to go shopping with an AR15 slung over their shoulder in order to scare people. That's not being Real American. That's being an adult sized infant. If they really need to have some weapon slung over their shoulder, tie a baseball bat over the shoulder. That would make them look scary enough.
