Ahhhh yes. ... another person who thinks guns are evil (Hoppe, “Tyranny of the Gun,” May 14-21). Take away guns, and all crime will stop. Wake up and smell the roses, guy ... People kill people — guns just provide a quicker and more efficient way of doing it. Personally, I think any adult who does not have a criminal record should be allowed to possess and carry a firearm, provided that he/she has taken a firearm safety course. I was taught to shoot, and taught firearm safety when I was 5 years old. I was taught that a gun is NOT a toy. Responsible gun ownership is not the cause of the firearm deaths that we see in the papers.
