Letter: Urge responsible gun owners to tell the NRA to renounce automatic guns

It is amusing to read the letters of those who implore us to write to our members of Congress and ask them to do something about the weekly mass murders. According to Paul Rolly, quoting Politico, gun right groups contributed $5.9 million to House Republicans and $106,000 to Democrats.

That kind of money buys a lot of immunity against seeing the blood and the carnage that the rest of us now see on a weekly basis. It dulls the conscience and decency.

Instead of writing to your Congress people, talk to your responsible friends and neighbors who have a rifle for hunting and a handgun for self-defense.
