Gun letter points not hollow

Tue., March 29, 2011

Lately, I’ve changed the way I read the letters section. Now, I look for one from Curtis E. Stone first, because I know it’s sure to be entertaining.

This time (March 20) I saw his letter in the bottom right-hand corner and rubbed my hands in anticipation. I was somewhat amazed and impressed that aside from the first and last paragraphs, he did raise some important points about guns. The police are stretched too thin to protect all of us all the time (not that they could), but he did not define who the “crazies” are.
