Gentleman thank you for all the work you did drafting this letter. It is very well written and has the facts supporting your view. I know that it has been re-posted on many different site, which will help get the information to as many people as possible. As a retired Airborne Infantryman, I will proudly stand with my Special Forces Brothers to ensure the freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution are not taken from American citizens

Gentlemen,
I extend my gratitude to the authors and signers of this document and commend you for crafting such an appropriate response to what has become such a controversial topic.
And while I didn't write it or sign it, I wouldn't hesitate to defend it.

Is the divisive nature of politicians part of an orchestrated effort to not only split the people apart, but to also split the nation?
When America began, I believe God was on our side and I believe that God has been on the American side throughout history and is evident when you look at the results. However, over the last two or three decades our elected representatives, our public schools and colleges, our lawyers, our public servants at all levels, and perhaps most importantly, our media has been trying to take God out of the USA in all but the most private of venues. There is a much needed discussion that has to take place or be started in many groups about the true state of the Nation and what the real, non-politically correct reasons are behind what could be argued, is a spiraling state of decline.
Great letter and count on me for being among its supporters.

While it's certainly not a surprise that many on this site think the same way, it's nice to see that one is not alone when pondering the larger issues. In short, thank you for posting this.

This guy crafted a prose right to the point to answer the question, "why do you need an AR?"

The government does not grant me rights. I was born free. The legitimate role of government is to act as my agent to protect my rights; which exist independent of government. Americans do not beg the government for rights nor are they required to demonstrate a "need" for rights.
I cherish lots of my rights for which I can’t demonstrate any need. I don’t need the right to say highly offensive things to another person. Although I generally don’t try to offend other people, I cherish my right to do so. I also cherish, and would aggressively defend, your right to say highly offensive things to me. Defending the rights of people to say things most people agree with is entirely unimpressive. Liberty must always be defended at the edge.

I thank all here of the more than 1000 professional soldiers who signed.
