This letter is in response of "Setting the Record Straight" in Monday's edition, Oct. 11, and Sunday's edition, Oct. 17, 2004.

Sen. John Kerry is not for the 2nd Amendment at all. He has voted for all gun bans that have come up on the floor. In fact, 51 times altogether. Check the record.

He wants to take away our right to bear arms. A disarmed American that does not have the right to defend itself. I'd hate to think what would happen then, especially if a terrorist attack would take place in our country. The crime rate would shoot sky high, as it did in London by 85 percent. Throwing rocks is not a very good defense against guns.

There is approximately 80 to 90 million gun owners in our nation. That's a lot of firepower, don't you think?

Stop and think of all the men and women who have paid the ultimate price to protect our freedom. Mr. Kerry is trying to trick you into thinking he is a hunter. Don't you believe it. As I said earlier, 51 times he has voted against gun owners. Nov. 2 is the day you should protect your constitutional rights. Don't let the gun banners take our freedom from us.

God bless America.
