Letter: No one is coming for your guns

(Rich Pedroncelli | AP file photo) A custom-made semi-automatic hunting rifle with a high-capacity detachable magazine is displayed at a gun store in Rocklin, Calif., on Oct. 3, 2013.

I don’t object to you owning guns. So do I.

I don’t care if you have one gun or 100.

I don’t care whether they’re locked up, holstered or stashed around your house.

I don’t care how proficient you are with them.

Hell, I don’t care if you sleep with them, marry them or make love to them.

I’ll even agree with you that guns don’t kill people. But people kill people with guns. A lot. And all of them are crazy or pissed off.

So I have to ask you one question: Why are you opposed to background checks and waiting periods?

No one is coming for your guns, so what makes owning a gun more important than the lives of innocent people?

I really want to know.

Tell me.

David E. Jensen, Holladay
