Handguns in parks

I can think of a dozen people who would be alive today if they had not been shot with a handgun. We are the only so-called civilized country in the world where anyone — children, the mentally ill — can obtain a gun. Now it seems the government will allow handguns in our national parks (5/1, A-1, “End to parks gun ban moves ahead”).

When will this madness top? We must speak out and let our congressmen know this is not acceptable.

Remind me not to be friends with Ms. Baker. It seems that a lot of people she knows gets shot.

Shirley, with all due respect, you are a moron.
