WASHINGTON — When Alaska U.S. Rep. Mary Peltola joined an Alaska Public Media call-in radio show this week, a self-proclaimed Peltola supporter and longtime hunter called in.
"I admire Representative Peltola, I remember when she was a legislative aide in Juneau many years ago, and watched her in the Legislature and was very impressed with her and still am — except for one thing. There is absolutely no reason why any Alaskan needs to own an AR-15."
"Why in the world do you think anybody should own an AR-15?" the caller asked on Tuesday on Alaska Public Media's "Talk of Alaska" program.
