While their goals may be laudable, reduction in crime, gun-control groups have it all wrong. Their latest campaign is a proposal to trample all over law-abiding citizens constitutional rights.

Which rights? Let’s start with the 1st amendment. They want to ban classified gun sale ads in newspapers. A violation of the freedom of the press. Ironically, I don’t think the big newspaper publishers will object.

They obviously want to infringe on our 2nd amendment rights to own a gun. That almost goes without saying.

And what about the right of free association. We should be able to get together with anybody we want and exchange goods and services. Private citizens can sell whatever they want.
