Letters to the Editor

Why are guns sacred?

Regarding Bill Murphy’s letter to the editor (Nov. 1): For him to ask the question, what makes an inanimate object like a gun more sacred than a car?

Then, answer his own question with gun manufacturers and their propaganda! I’m surprised that after 78 years of life and serving in the military (I thank him for his service) he has not read the Second Amendment.
