Calm down

I read Roy Huntington's article (Insider, March/April 2009) issue and found his thoughts of interest. We agree for the most part in that President Obama will be way too busy with economic and international problems to spend much time tying to restrict our right to own firearms. He did say President Obama is "The most under-qualified and inexperienced candidate ever to be elected to this office." I believe the Constitution lists the qualifications as being born in America and having reached the age of 35 years. President Obama certainly meets those. I do not know what Mr. Huntington considers for qualifications, but we have had several "unqualified' presidents. George Washington lost most of his battles with the British and had little if any government experience. Abraham Lincoln was a congressman who lost senate races twice and Harry Truman did not have a college education.

Keep up the good work. I enjoy reading articles that make me think.

But I think, Don, the very people you mentioned brought a certain sense of Ire-experience and wisdom to the table, don't you think? I wonder what we will say a few years from now about the current administration. Editor
