Letter: Gun abusers should be killed

To Jim Glynn: I have tried over the years to address the problem you confront. Just putting the blame on mental health and moving on is not the answer.

Nuts or not, a person who commits a crime with a gun needs to be eliminated. We can’t take the chance on “rehab.” History shows that its prospects for success are too low to rely on.

Yes, we are going to lose a few good ones, but WAR is the same set of chances! We lose a few good men to better the world.

Hang the gun abusers, castrate the sex offenders and hang the arsonists.

While we are at it, hang the drug dealers.
