To the Editor:

     If we take the constitution of the United States seriously, "to bear arms" is a "right" and--unlike e.g. the privilege of air-travel--cannot be curtailed without due process of law. That cannot be satisfied by any secret office or process.  And if we do not take our constitution and rights seriously, what are we fighting to defend?
