Letter: It is ludicrous to blame the problems of society on guns

Related Topics: Gun, Society, Florida, Blame, Tragedy

I am greatly saddened by the recent shooting in Florida. How can you not be when human beings commit such a tragedy on one another?

It is a fallacy to say that guns are the problem. It’s a human being problem. To outlaw guns would not solve the problem. Let’s use logic here. You should outlaw cars — they kill people. Outlaw spoons and forks — they make people overweight and die young. No more fast food places, too many people become addicted.

We, Americans, have had guns in our homes for over 200 years.
