Right on, Mr. Donegan (“Conservatives and guns,” Aug. 4)! When people realize that it’s the idiots behind the guns that cause the problems and the existing laws that are not properly enforced, then understanding the problems will not be changed. Plus, without the care and treatment of the mentally impaired, the problems will not be improved. And with a growing population, the percentage of mentally impaired also increases and being “dissatisfied with government policies and procedures” plays into the causes for people to react violently.
Keep up the good work!
