Editor,

Mr. Guttenbeil, (letter 4/3) believes in only blaming the operator ... not the tool, that is responsible for the enormous amount of mass shootings in this country. Here's some reasons to blame the tool.

Ms. Lara, brains are not fully developed until age 25? So the entirety of America has mistakenly allowed folks under 25 to vote, drive, join the armed forces, drink, anything an adult can do (well, AARP is still out of reach for a while). If anything, it appears arguments against the Second Amendment, made by folks at any age, only include stale, lame arguments that are empty and sad. Perhaps you should spur efforts to remove guns from irresponsible gun owners or those that shouldn’t have guns. That’s a “real solution” which doesn’t demonize responsible gun owners but for some reason, is never addressed in some folks’ zeal to demonize responsible gun owners. BTW, weren’t two of the most famous scientists, Galileo and Newton, under 25 when they made historic contributions? Maybe they just got lucky?

I wonder what the military would look like if soldiers cannot shoot a weapon until they are 25. The CCP would love that.

"Billions and billions of dollars have been spent in this country over the years, recalling and banning certain products, “tools” if you will, for the safety of the general public." Yet NOTHING has been done to recall COVID vaccines that have killed and maimed countless people. Where are your priorities? The same places our braindead governments are.
