Guns Symbolize Freedom
It is unfortunate that Iowa Alumni Magazine chose to give Gordon McLauchlan a platform in which to express his prejudice against American gun owners, as well as his ignorance of guns and gun control laws in the American context. He states that American gun owners have an "almost erotic enslavement of so many to that instrument of death, the gun." He asserts that the NRA and Charlton Heston have made guns a symbol of "machismo." He also claims that there is a "widespread belief that guns maketh the man." McLauchlan offers, of course, no facts to support his bias. Normally I don't post pointers to letters written in response to articles; they are typically too short to be worthwhile. This one is an exception, and well worth reading. |
