WOULD REFUSE TO TURN IN GUNS

I AM EXTREMELY disappointed in your anti-gun reporting. I am a proud member of the National Rifle Association. I joined because it represents my view.

If my guns are ever banned, and I am told to turn them in, I will not!

Gun control does not lower the crime rate. It has been proven that when more citizens get guns, crime will drop.

If you are so worried about the few people who die because of guns, why don't you call for a ban on all beer and liquor sales, which are the cause of far more deaths than guns? CARL KEMPA BENT MOUNTAIN
