Quit whining about guns

The Deseret Morning News editorial staff is to be complimented for taking a positive stand on those who carry guns into churches, schools and other public places. I found absolutely noting offensive in the editorial. I, for one, am very uncomfortable to see an unknown person carrying a gun — no matter where. How do I know what this individual's intentions are?

As far as poor Charles Handy of GOUtah is concerned (My View, Jan. 5), I have a suggestion. Why doesn't he request that cry rooms be put back into our chapels so he can go to church and do all the crying he wants for those poor, poor "gun-toters" who can't, or shouldn't, carry their guns to church with them.

And as far as Jared Robinson's letter goes, come off it. There was no deceptive rhetoric in the editorial, only an honest opinion for the right of good people who are uncomfortable in the presence of guns. Just remember not all good people carry guns.
