Letters

Gosh, more articles on the money problems related to our postal service. Some seek to disband the best operational system in the world and thrust us into cyberspace, where the hackers operate.
Sure, it’s handy to use our home computers to drop a get-well note to dear Aunt Maude. Trouble is auntie never owned a computer, so she will never know of our good intentions.

I am a veteran of the S.C. National Guard. I served in Afghanistan a few years ago, and recently decided to get out only because of medical issues sustained during combat. But the medical issues are secondary to the demons I’ve been facing in recent years. When I returned home, I was on top of the world. My family was proud. I made lifelong friends, had great and not-so-great experiences, but most of all, I went and fought for my country. There is no greater feeling.

I’d like to respond to Crystal Stango’s March 22 letter, “Whittlesey’s gun control column ‘inane filler.’ ” Why is it that liberals can’t have a discussion without name calling or insulting the person who sees issues differently.
The entire letter belittled him. Why can’t you submit a letter that has a different view than yours – without the insults?
It’s liberals like you who live in a fantasy land when you think making another gun law will prevent shootings? How’s the war on drugs doing?

Background checks before the purchase of guns is useless and against the Constitution.
The rights listed in our Constitution Amendments are not subject  to the whim of some elite bureaucrat sitting in a cubical somewhere.
For the casual thinker, like most Liberal Democrats, background checks are a good thing. It keeps people who should not have a gun from getting one. It keeps gangs, thieves, terrorists and felons from getting guns.
Only problem is that they do not submit to those checks. So how are those checks working for us?
