By THOMAS J. FARISHI must respond to Ms. Nancy Schick’s letter complaining about the Los Alamos Schools leasing the old Pueblo gym to the Los Alamos Sportsmen’s Club for their Gun Show.
I find it appalling that Ms. Schick seems ignorant of the fact that that all of the murdered schoolchildren she alludes to were killed in “gun-free zones.” Perhaps we should re-name those areas “defenseless-victim zones” because that illustrates much more clearly their effect on the safety of our children.
I pray that in future we will have the courage to discard the misguided and uninformed opinions of people like Ms. Schick, and use a bit of common sense so we can send our kids to school with better protection than a “defenseless-victims here” sign in the window.
Here is an additional item for Ms. Schick to consider: More than 15 years of Gun Shows in Pueblo Gym, nearly 50,000 attendees, hundred of thousands of guns for sale, and zero injuries or fatalities.
