Letter: Guns present a danger

By Debra Di Piazza, Vancouver

Three mass shootings this past weekend. Over 200 mass shootings in 2022 so far — and it’s only May. Florida’s governor wants to lift all restrictions on and requirements for owning and carrying guns (so-called “constitutional carry”), a move that will likely be copied in many other red states. The NRA insists more guns will make us a safer, more civil society. This, despite evidence showing that the mere presence of a gun makes any situation potentially lethal.

So why don’t I feel safer?
