Letter to the editor: Gun epidemic
To the editor:
When mosquitoes were identified as related to malaria and threatened building the Panama Canal, our government made an all-out effort to identify the source to limit or eradicate the plague. Screens on windows, closed doors, clothing covering the body were not enough. Get at the source! Even now, ZIKA! Those little bugs threaten the Olympics!
Talk of Second Amendment rights has no place in settling disputes or arguments, in expressing hatred or prejudice. (We have enough talk of division and hostility and anger anyway.) Does it make sense that a gun should be necessary to go to school, theater, church or a dance?
This epidemic need to be eradicated at its source.
