Against private gun ownership

E-mail your letter to The Herald

THANK you for publishing a letter of mine concerning gun ownership ("Don't blame availability of a firearm", February 20). In my letter I (attempt to) make a case against private gun ownership, saying that a gun gives us humans the power to take a life, an act which cannot be reversed.

The heading (inserted by The Herald) says the opposite of the point I'm trying to make: that is that private gun/firearm ownership should be banned because humans are fallible.
