“Since the killing of John Kennedy in 1963,” you point out in your main leader on America’s guns (“America’s Tragedy,” April 21, 2007), “more Americans have died by American gunfire than perished on foreign battlefields in the whole of the Twentieth Century.” Hey, leave them to it! Or so might argue an enemy of America. You set yourself up, after all. Kidding aside, only Americans can change things in this regard. Rather then their politicians, whom you appear to trust a bit too much in this connection, they can rally at last for a safer country, just as they have rallied, successfully, for many a good cause in the years gone by. Or so would argue a friend of America. As has been the case for quite a while, only Americans can win in the long battle against the idiocies of America itself. And good luck to them.
