Letter to the editor: Restoring gun restriction

To the editor:

The weapon used in the abortive attempt to assassinate Donald J. Trump was an AR-15. The alleged assailant was reportedly spotted crossing a field, carrying a long gun, toward the rally. This is all perfectly legal in Pennsylvania and almost anywhere else in America. The Secret Service sniper reportedly knew he was there, thus was able to shoot him seconds or minutes after he fired. Might this persuade some key Republicans in Congress that we need to restore the ban on semi-automatic weapons? I’ll give you odds if you want to bet “yes.”

Paul Enos,

Lawrence
