I’m all in with your call for additional firearms safety (Jan. 22, “Biden has no reason not to take immediate action on gun safety”), especially in light of the recent spike in private firearms sales likely attributed to the urban left-inspired violence during the past year.
There is a much simpler way to accomplish your stated goal, however, and one that requires neither taxpayer money nor any type of political action by either party: Advocate that gun owners join the National Rifle Association.
No other organization or government agency spends more money on firearms safety than the NRA, and it is one of our stated goals.
If the Las Vegas Sun is truly interested in safety, it should be a simple matter to pass this information on. Thank you for the opportunity to express a logical, economic and effective solution to the problem you brought to light in your editorial.
