Letter To The Editor: Yes, Gun Buybacks Do Work And They ‘Feel Good’ Too
By MIRANDA VISCOLI, Co-president New Mexicans To Prevent Gun Violence
Robert Visel could not have said it better in his editorial, “Gun Buyback Farce.”
In his letter to the editor he calls New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence gun buybacks a “Feel good maneuver”. Yes, it does “feel good” to see a widow bring in her departed husband’s arsenal of guns that have been left in their bedroom closet. It feels great to see the relief on grandparents’ faces when they know that their guns will not get into their grandchildren’s hands. Or, the proud young father with his newborn bringing in a semi-automatic Read More

Letter To The Editor: In The Great Gun Debate, Both Sides Need Practice Hitting The Target
By KHAL SPENCERLos Alamos
It’s an unfortunate observation, nearly rising to the level of a physical law, that both sides in the Great Gun Debate will usually miss the target on any given issue.
After the recent Clovis Library mass shooting, someone wrote a long essay to the Santa Fe New Mexican calling for a ban on concealed carry in libraries. But concealed carry was irrelevant to the shooting as the shooter, at 16 years old, was not a legal concealed carrier nor eligible to become one at his age. Further, it should be noted that in spite of concealed carry being lawful in libraries,

Los Alamos
If the forecast on Friday was correct, and if you’re reading this on Sunday, at this very moment hurricane Irma will be grinding its way through Florida and perhaps up the East Coast. And José is swirling around the eastern Caribbean, building up steam for yet another possible assault. All affected by such storms are in our prayers, and we urge all to charity to help victims rebuild.
We wonder why disasters occur—natural, manmade, and even personal accidents and illness. These are the common lot of all mankind. The perennial Read More
