Letter to the Editor

Too much fire power

SALISBURY POST



Regarding the Jan. 24 story about Landis police getting the latest model of the M-16 rifle:

It’s a good thing the troopers on the New Jersey turnpike didn’t have these weapons when they sprayed a van with a hail of bullets during a racial profiling stop (April ’98). They would have certainly killed all the students inside.

This is a very bad idea. Leave the weapons made for war, and taking over countries, to the military — not the local peace officer.

— Richard Marchese
