King Is Wrong

RECEIVED Tue., Oct. 13, 2015

Dear Editor,
    Your Michael King is exactly wrong [“Point Austin: The Gun Cult … Again,” News, Oct. 9]: "The daily carnage goes on [expressly] because of two factors: 1) a routine culture of aggression embodying the idea that personal" decisions – drug consumption, abortion, domestic companionship – may be reflexively addressed by society in an ostensibly free country; and 2) our founders' guarantee that the common (militia-)man is eternally entitled to bear arms at least comparable to those brandished by the King's men (i.e., the S.W.A.T. team).
