Dr. Ignatius,<\/p>\n
I scarcely have the words to express my gratitude to you for your correspondence about responsible gun ownership.\u00a0 I have found the many e-mails I have received both informative and, unfortunately, very necessary in these times.<\/p>\n
Patriots like yourself have always been the backbone of a strong and independent republic.\u00a0 I am honored to count myself among you.<\/p>\n
The founding fathers, in there infinite wisdom, knew that there would come a time in this country when quasi-intellectuals would come to the belief that firearms would be considered antiquated and dangerous to that safety of the masses.<\/p>\n
We believe that firearms can be your best defense against tyranny, against injury or death to you or your family or simply as a way for people to enjoy recreation in the great outdoors.<\/p>\n
I have been fortunate to have been hunting and shooting with my father and uncles since I could hold a gun.<\/p>\n
My father is a veteran and at a young age he instilled in me a reverence for such a powerful thing as a weapon,\u00a0 It is a lesson I never forgot.\u00a0 I am glad to see so much similarity between his teaching and yours.<\/p>\n
Sincerely and respectfully,<\/p>\n
