LEND LEGISLATIVE EAR TO OTHER VOICES

SO, DEL. Victor Thomas and Sen. Bo Trumbo hear the voices of their constituents and oppose Gov. Wilder's plan to curb the mad flow of handguns within and outside the commonwealth. May I suggest that both these legislators listen to another voice - law-enforcement agencies.

No, unlike the National Rifle Association, this group does not contribute massive sums of money to these men's campaigns; however, they often contribute something far more precious than money. Need I spell out for either of them what that is?

Trumbo and Thomas, listen to another voice - for a change! WALTER ROBINSON SALEM
