Letter: We're not terrorists, we have reason to kill

Right, let's build a wall around the entire United States.

Oh, I forgot, Alaska and Hawaii, too. Then everyone in the world can watch us kill one another.

There were only 35,000 deaths by handguns in our country last year. Police, criminals, and regular people are all packing. It's every man for himself.

These terrorists kill for no reason. We, on the other hand, have good reasons to kill. Winning arguments, people running away from us, car rage, cheating spouses, noisy neighbors, drunken bar fights, etc., are all justified homicides.

So load up and shoot, America. We have freedoms.

Donald Trump had a great idea. He said if everyone had a gun at the Paris concert, there would be no trouble. Sounds like a nice, safe place to send my kids to see a show. See ya at the range.
