Letters to the Editor: When will Americans admit, 'It's the guns, stupid'? (via latimesopinion)
. Your point about killers having one thing in common — they have guns — reminds me of an exchange I heard years ago: In reply to “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people,” someone said, “People with guns kill people.”
Reducing gun violence requires we continue to consider many issues. In the meantime, how many deaths will it take, how many years will it take, until we and the people we elect admit, “It’s the guns, stupid”?In addition to guns, mass killers have more important things in common — desires for notoriety, and to inflict as much misery on society as they have suffered in their lives.
More than 70 million Americans are gun owners, and 99.9% of them never use a firearm to take a life. Yes, America needs to stop the carnage of the 0.01% of gun owners who commit these atrocities. Oh, we have to obey the 2nd Amendment and make sure we have guns for “2nd Amendment remedies.” That part of the Constitution was written when we had muskets that had one shot and took a few moments to reload.
