Guns mean tragedy, not protection

What an irony! Gun sales are promoted as needed for "personal protection," but your newspaper's coverage of the death of a young lawyer at the hand of his girlfriend using his own handgun tells a different story.

It may not be a robber invading your home that's the danger. A gun in the hand of a person upset by anger, fear, depression, or just a curious child, can produce a tragedy instead of "personal protection."
