The Sun’s Opinion page allowed the latest ravings of Ken McCalip (“The time to act is now,” Oct. 12) to attack again our Second Amendment right to own and carry guns, as the reason for the sad, crazy attack in Las Vegas, instead of the person and reason for the attack.
Without guns, the deranged individuals will still find a way to kill. He had canisters of gas in his car and may have planned to use them as bombs—no guns needed. No one in their right mind would attack from the 32nd floor where everyone could see them and they could not get away.
McCalip, like Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Rep. Salud Carbajal, is a Democrat radical who misses the mark in defining the problem and not providing a rational solution.
I refer you all to a great article on this same subject by Henry Schulte entitled “Politics, guns and reality in American” published in the Oct. 15 Santa Barbara News-Press’ Voices page.
