Gun owners should vote

To the editor:

I believe the quickest and the best way to get our nation back on track is for all gun owners and good Christian people to stand up and be counted.

They need to get registered and go to the polls and vote for the right kind of people.

I read where there are over 100 million gun owners in this great nation. Since felons cannot own a gun, it means all gun owners are qualified to vote. There should, I believe, be that many folks who profess to be Christians. If that many people went to the polls and voted for only those who promise to live by the constitution, our problems would be over.

Another thing that troubles me is the way all of the military personnel overseas have great problems having their votes counted. I have read how those in power do everything they can to prevent their voting because the military tents to vote mostly Republican. That has been in the news several times.

All those who want to hang onto their guns better take notice to what is going on and join the NRA or some other gun rights organization. That alone scares gun haters.

Gun owners need to realize they have the power, and if they sit on their hing part and lost that right, it will be gone for good. We will never be able to restore that right.
