LETTER: America’s gun culture
A Saturday letter writer argued that our gun culture is like cancer. But do Americans have a choice? I suspect that the majority of Americans who bought guns didn’t really want to have one.
Owning a gun carries a great responsibility. The day you have to use it, you might end the life of a person. But do Americans have any choice? Look at the crime rates in many major cities — New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, to mention a few. No one is safe to walk in these cities. Even at home you no longer feel safe.
We as Americans have been left with no other choice but to learn how we can protect our families.
