To the Editor:

Why don't we ban all military arms in the US and require that they all be sold back to the government.

We could take money from the appropriation for Ukraine and give the arms to the people of Ukraine to defend themselves.

Any left over we would give to the Iranian women.

Then, we would only follow the 2nd Amendment and allow people to have guns who belong to a "well regulated militia being necessary to defend a free state" like the police or National Guard.

Give weapons to the people who need them.
