Can We Wait To Stop Access To Guns?
Posted: January 25, 2013
Rudy Erb seems to be saying that we don’t need gun control because we shouldn’t have criminals and mentally ill persons in the first place (“Guns not the issue; We Are,” Jan. 19).
In the same issue, Walter Williams offers a similar argument (“Morals, not guns, are the problem”). Everyone should be good and that will solve the problem.
Brilliant observations! Let’s all hope, pray, and work for the day when all the criminals are locked up, all the mentally ill are cured, and everyone has good morals!
While we await the arrival of that glorious day, do we really want to make it easy for criminals and the mentally ill to kill as many people as they want to?
