Gun control won't work any better than drug laws

Letter to the Editor

Pushing gun control is not the answer. Look at how our drug laws are working.

This country still would be part of England if it wasn't for our countrymen having guns in the Revolutionary War.

In the early 1960s, a reporter asked a former high-ranking officer of the Japanese army why they didn't attack the U.S. west coast in World War II? His three-word answer: "Too many guns."

And as for registration of guns: How would a takeover by a corrupt government -- either inside or outside the country -- begin? The first thing it would do is get the records and pick up our guns.
