No, Orlando will not change Americans

RE Will lessons finally be learned from Orlando (June 14)

Will lesson finally be learned from Orlando? Short answer, no! Why? For these reasons: The Second Amendment ensures that America will remain Guns’R Us — God bless America. America needs no help, they’ve got guns. I wonder how many Americans can quote this amendment word for word? They have the second part, or some version, firmly etched in their minds. The second part states, “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

This mentality is reinforced by the statement, “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” I attribute this statement to the NRA. The Wild West lives. From the short video shown on the Spec’s home site last week, Obama seems to have given up on changing gun ownership regulations. America has decided what it wants to be. Murray Cluff, Beamsville
