the editorial Page features a political cartoon comparing the number of handgun deaths in great Canada and the United states and ending with a comment while the other countries have gun the United states has the National Rifle the figure cited in the cartoon for the United is a figment of the cartoonists imagination at least Accord ing to the news item from the Fri featured five pages according to the Fri and noted by the coalition to ban there were murders committed with handguns in the United states in 1984 not the coalition com ment also notes that handgun deaths were the lowest in 14 the cartoon is a blatant attempt at Emo citing false implying that the Mere existence of handguns is responsible for the number of hand unrelated Mur As is usual in such shallow portrayals of current social it ignores intentionally a number of factors which have a direct bearing on this particular we have a murder problem in the United states with the rest of our crime that is a social and is due to a number of including economic fac revolving door bail awaiting charges involving violent As Well As the availability of in the other countries punishment is Swift and relatively there is also a

of organizations supporting legislation requiring mandatory prison time for felons convicted of using a firearm in a it is interesting to note that the Acle and other Liberal organizations have opposed such believing that it limits the ability of judges to show mercy in cases which warrant in every location where the Law requires mandatory imprisonment for use of a fire Arm in the commission of a the use of guns in such crimes has a review of the legislative history of the second amendment to the conducted at the direction of the con Gress a few years determined that the right of the people to keep and Bear emphasis added arms is an individual with the same applicability As the and other that individual right is frequently Over looked by Antigua and occasionally by the judicial even the extremely vocal when it comes to the first amendment right of free speech some How tying it to the Peoples right to is remarkably silent when the right of citizens to keep and Bear arms is until the Constitution is i would Hope that the stars and stripes would be equally supportive of All of our Waldron Germany there seems to be some conflicting in formation in regard to homicide committed with an article on serious crimes on Page 5 estimates murders in 48 percent or committed with that is absolutely disgusting to say the on Page 10 of the same Issue is an illustration they have gun we have the this seems to indicate murders done with this is a great i also resent the fact that the caption insinuates that the Era sanctions or otherwise condones the use of handguns for the com mitting of if the truth be the Era is a driving Force backed by millions of gun owners which promotes gun compliance with fair gun instruction for Hunters and target shooters As Well As police and other protective and most of every citizens right to keep and Bear arms As guaranteed to us by the great nations without the lobbying efforts of Era our rights would irradiated by anti gunners and others who would have us one step closer to becoming something other than the free americans we enjoy being it sure makes me wonder where the political nature of such journalism will next rear its
