To the Editor: Society is the problem, not guns

0

Where to start on the BG gun issue? How is it that anti-gun zealots do not understand that criminals
could care less about a sign or laws of the nation, state, or city? It is not law abiding citizens with
a carry permit that we have to worry about. It is the criminal element and again, they do not pay
attention to laws and thus why they are criminals. The liberal media would have the public believe that
every person with a gun is a threat to society. This can not be further from the truth. There are many
reasons for owning a gun. Among them would be hunting, family protection, and sport. The anti-gun crowd
would have us believe that the
only reason to have a gun is to shoot up some school. We need to consider what the real problems are with
people today. Why they are killing others. It is not the gun’s fault. It is the user of this tool. Just
as they could use a knife, rope, or for that matter a chain saw. Society has changed and therein lies
the problem. Not the tools used to cause death and mayhem.
