The Facts of the Second Amendment

Dear Editor,
    Normally, I wouldn't write in when someone (a Kurt Standiford, in this case) unloads his hate on "homosexuals and their apologists," Dixie Chicks, and "blowhard harpies," but when the Second Amendment is evoked in argument, I take interest [“Postmarks,” Dec. 29]. For Mr. Standiford: precisely who is threatening enough (despite your "yawns") to face the "facts" of the Second Amendment? What positions do they hold? What are their high crimes? How does the Second Amendment not "allow for such pompous delusions of grandeur nor despot reprobate arrogance"? How would the Second Amendment be used and by whom (include yourself, if applicable). Use examples. Explain your answer in detail.
