NRA IS STANDING AGAINST SOCIALISM

YOUR COMMENTS concerning how Gov. Wilder went against the gun lobby with his one-gun-a-month gun-control measure shows how your one-track minds work. Your audacity to list the naughty legislators who voted against the measure was one form of socialism. It is ironic that the socialist countries are getting their freedoms while Americans are beginning to lose theirs.

Thank God for the National Rifle Association and its members who are the only thing standing in the way of the Wilders, Kennedys and Sarah Bradys in their drive to disarm America with their lies and back-stabbing. CHARLES HAMRIC LEXINGTON
