Why would a former police officer think it a good idea to place weapons designed to kill as many people as possible as fast as possible into the hands of potential criminals? As a constituent of Republican U.S. Rep. Pete Stauber, I’m calling on him to write a letter to the News Tribune explaining why he endorses doing just that.
And he can’t cite the Second Amendment as a reason, because the U.S. government had banned all military-style weapons — such as AK-47s, hand grenades, and flamethrowers, etc. — for many years.
I look forward to seeing Stauber’s letter in the paper.

Letters are limited to 300 words, must be the original work of the
author and must be exclusive to the News Tribune. Letters are edited for
style, space, accuracy and civility.
Letter writers are limited to one published submission every 30 days.
With rare exceptions, the News Tribune does not publish poetry; letters that are anonymous, libelous or attack other writers; consumer-complaint letters; thank-you letters; or letters generated by political or special-interest campaigns.
We will consider exclusive Local View columns of 600 words or fewer. Authors should possess unique insights, and their commentaries should demonstrate greater knowledge of their subject than letters.
