Shouldn't so many deaths convince us to make changes?
B. J. Smith, Port Orchard  I would like to thank Ruth Drollinger for her letter of June 6, "Do you remember the fallen?" My thoughts are not only with our fallen heroes but also of the others who don't fit that label, such as the children of Sandy Hook, Newtown, and the many who were mowed down in Las Vegas while attending an outdoor concert. Then I heard Judge Roger Benitez, in his decision regarding a California gun law, compare the deadliness of an assault rifle to a Swiss Army knife! I am pretty sure that in both these cases at least for those who lost loved ones they would have preferred the perpetrator had attacked with the single Swiss Army knife, that could have been handled! This judge reversed the ban on the assault rifles with his comparison. I also would like to add that the constant reference to the Second Amendment to me is ridiculous, as there are probably hundreds of different types of guns that are permitted. These should be reserved for law enforcement and the military, not for the public. B. J. Smith, Port Orchard
