I am shocked at the levels of naivete on display in Zachary Hyatt '09's article ("Updating the Second Amendment," April 27). Who will have guns without a Second Amendment? Criminals and the police. Where does that leave law-abiding citizens? Screwed, either on the whims of the violent or through absolute dependence on the government for personal security.
Guns are only a shadow on the wall. The real issues are self-reliance and liberty.
