---- — To the editor:
“GUNS FOR ALL ... ALL FOR GUNS.”
A catchy bumper sticker for the NRA and Wayne LaPierre, don’t you think?
A gun, any gun, is designed for one purpose: to kill whatever it is aimed at. That’s what guns do.They easily kill anything, anywhere, at any time.
When you take a gun, any gun, and put it in the hands of an evil person, or a sick-minded person, or a severely depressed person, or a revengeful person, or anyone who loses control of his sanity and common decency, it becomes a killing machine, and God help any innocent soul who gets in the way of this pschyco’s path.
Background checks are not only essential but also should include a family mental history.
So what will our Congress do about it? Ask the NRA.
