To the Editor:
What difference does it really make to the quality of life in America whether a mass shooting is carried out by a white supremacist, a mentally disturbed individual, a domestic ideologue or a foreign terrorist? For those innocents killed and those who survive, the effect is the same. They are terrorized while going about their everyday lives. There is only one common denominator, and it is guns, especially automatic weapons. Get them off the streets.

Note from KBJ: Unless you physically destroy every firearm in the country, and I do mean every firearm, banning firearms will have only one effect: making everyone (including you, Hope) vulnerable to criminals and terrorists. Have you had a Critical Thinking course? If not, you might want to take one.
