Editor:In response to Tom Townley's April 16 letter, "No one needs an assault weapon," I would like to ask him one question: What is your description of an assault weapon? I have yet to find one person that supports the assault weapons ban who can describe to me what an assault weapon is.
As for the comment, "No one needs an atomic bomb," how many thousands more of our troops would we have lost had we not used the atomic bomb to end World War II?
