Letter To The Editor: Response To Vernon N. Kerr

By SILAS CLARK
Los Alamos

 

I understand that some of my Republican friends cannot appreciate what first world gun legislation means, but I will tell the tale anyways.

Letter To The Editor: Guns Are Essential In A Civil, Safe Society

Los Alamos

I understand that some of my Democrat friends cannot appreciate what self-defense means but I will tell the tale anyway.

Firearms are essential in a civil, safe society. Guns are only as safe as the person behind them.

The father was a locomotive fireman and this job required him to be out of town on the other end of a run for a day or two on a regular basis. He was concerned for the safety of his family and bought a .38 caliber pistol for his Read More
