"WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION DON'T KILL PEOPLE,
PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE"
AN OPEN LETTER TO CHARLTON HESTON
Dear Mr.
Heston:
I am writing
to demand that you resign your post as President of the National Rifle
Association. Like most actors, you
talk a good game, but like many politicians, you refuse to follow through. You are not doing your job.
You have
asserted that I have a right to self-defense, that I have this right whoever
the aggressor against me is, and that I have the right to use "any means
necessary." How lovely of you. I am pleased to hear you admit it.
If that is the
way you feel, then why, Mr. Heston, aren't you working to secure my Second
Amendment rights? As you well know,
Amendment II says nothing about "guns" or "rifles", but
rather, about "arms". Guns
are ridiculously obsolete in our modern world. With religious fundamentalists seizing power in places like
Pakistan, Afghanistan and the United States -- Afghanistan is rumored to have
access to nuclear bomb components, and the United States and Pakistan
certainly do -- how am I to protect myself and my family with a pitiful little
Barrett .50 caliber M82A1?
