Why in God’s name do we allow mentally ill people to buy war guns? To the editor, The tragedy in Colorado demonstrates, once again, the lethal potential of assault weapons, which are designed for killing more people, more rapidly. They are built for that very function — mass assaults! We know they’ll never be a total ban on handguns! The NRA and many hand gun owners will not permit that to happen. But why, in God’s name, allow mentally ill people, and anyone else for that matter, to purchase a weapon used in war, to become just another household item? Consider an assault weapon as a bomb designed to kill, or injure, sev-
eral people at one time — and in the hands of an insane person. Is this the law of the land? Have we totally lost our rational and sense of responsibility that protects us from undo harm? Laws that should apply to all our citizens and make them safe from this rampant violence — for the sake of gun ownership? We don’t have to worry about Middle Eastern countries. Their threat in minimal, at best. Worry about laws that allow mass killings made possible by hand-held WMDs! Leon R. Albushies Gilford

which turned out to be a taxpayer bailout, therefore, funded by us. He is hiding Bain because he isn’t to sure when he stopped working there — 1999 or 2002. His political resume isn’t to good either. His tax returns are interesting I’ve heard, so interesting that only John McCain has seen them. He quickly called Sarah Palin for his VP choice — hmm, wonder what was in them. So, Shelden Edelson is funding the Republican party this year hoping to buy a president and a Supreme Court due to his impending problems in Macau and his gambling empire — just an educated guess. Lastly, Fisker Automotive is located in Anaheim CA, since 2007, and is planning to build in Delaware by 2113. They are a world-wide company with a HOME base of the USA — not the other way around.

To the editor, You keep on saying we can’t tax the wealthy because they are the JOB CREATORS, so where are the jobs that they are going to create. You have been saying this for many years now and they have yet to create any jobs, at least any that stay in this country. So I say TAX the SOBs and maybe they will create a job or two or maybe, as usual, they will save all their money to bribe (meaning donate to) the next set of politicians. At least Obama has tried to create or invest in our country, much to the dismay of the Republicans. Most of the time the Republicans have blocked or fillibustered any jobs bill hoping to make Obama look bad. They figure to win the election because we are so stupid and are not watching what they are doing, NOTHING, to help this country. Romney figures to win on his business record which has shrunk to the Olympic games, only
