Letter of the Day: Held hostage

Held hostage

EDITOR: Why must we continue to be held hostage to the paranoid fears of some gun owners? Assault rifles and high-capacity clips would do no good against an actual malign government takeover or a foreign invasion, but they make for efficient killing in a theater or classroom. I am tired of paying a yearly ransom of 30,000 lives. We need sensible, incremental control of guns, beginning by restricting military-style weapons to the military.
