Re: Bill O'Reilly's July 3 column, "Shooting down our rights":

A simple guy like Mr. O'Reilly, should be able to read the complete sentence of the Second Amendment. "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." It's funny how these 'smart' guys keep leaving out the 'militia' part.
