John Peddie submits a letter to the Indy Star titled, "Second Amendment should be repealed". This one's not even worth rebutting.
In response to Chris Henderson's on-line letter July 13: Everyone should be worried about lifetime gun permits, not just those on the left. There is no rational basis for such a permit, except to perpetuate the gun-centric culture poisoning this country. In fact, there is no rational basis for owning a gun at all, but the gun people like to hide behind the Second Amendment and try to convince people that it means we should all have guns.Virginia gets lifetime carry permits on July 1, 2007.
The Second Amendment to the Constitution is outmoded and irrelevant and should be repealed, before more ludicrous things like lifetime gun permits become legal. This country gets more and more ridiculous by the day, from reality television to lifetime gun permits to an education system swirling at the bottom of the porcelain bowl. But by all means, let's keep our uneducated, couch potato citizenry armed for life. I feel safer already.

the gun people like to hide behind the Second Amendment...
Funny, but I always thought the 2nd Amendment was the primary reason I don't necessarily have to hide behind anything. Guys like John Peddie have themselves been hiding behind the protections of the 2nd Amendment for generations, however. It's like he's furiously trying to remove all of the insulation from his house, but will most certainly bitch about being cold when winter arrives.
The best part of his "reasoning", though, is that he just doesn't understand that people like him are the reason why we need the 2nd Amendment as much now as ever.
I like his classic little dig at the "uneducated" people who believe in gun ownership - a favorite, yet tired and breathtakingly pathetic liberal tactic.

He may not be able to think of a "rational" basis for owning a gun but I can give him a "rational" reason to butt out about me owning a gun: If he tries to disarm me, I'll kill him.
Repealing the 2nd Amendment would just move up the time table for killing a few tyrants -- and if I survive it I'll still have my guns.
