Letter: Need more instruction about gun safety, not fewer firearms

Published: Tuesday, Jan. 22 2013 12:00 a.m. MST

Summary

President Obama's plan to restrict guns is a tragic mistake. Criminals will have and use guns no matter what the law is. It should be OK for law abiding citizens to have and use guns.

What we need is more organizations like the National Rifle Association to promote and teach gun safety.

Columbine had armed guards.

That did not shop the shooting.

Ft. Hood had armed guards.

That did not stop the shooting.

The colorado shooter purchased literally 6,000 rounds of ammunition and no one did More..

Without comprehensive background checks, how do you know who the law abiding citizens are?

And for the record, Obama's plan includes more education on firearm safety - and the NRA opposes it.

There is NO total gun ban proposed! So your argument that criminals will always have guns is meaningless rhetoric.
