To the Editor:

I am an advocate for tighter gun control. But I am infuriated by your editorial, not because of its content but because of its timing.

The San Bernardino case is more about terrorism and bombs than about guns. I suspect that the terrorists would have gotten guns no matter what law was put in place.

Should we make it difficult for jihadists to buy guns? Absolutely! But realistically, isn’t it just a bit naïve to think that gun control laws will stop terrorism?

Note from KBJ: The attacks of 9-11 were frustrating to progressives because the attackers didn't use guns.
