LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

We are no right to moralize

Robert Card, a man who reportedly claimed to hear voices, besides being obsessed with guns, was allowed to purchase an assault rifle. How is that possible?

While this country is preoccupied with terrorists abroad, we are losing sight of a far greater threat residing within our own borders.

What’s more, it’s perfectly legal for any citizen of Maine to carry concealed firearms.

Where do we get off criticizing the brutality of Russia or the fanaticism of Hamas when our country sanctions the slaughter of its own people with military-style weapons?

When will we realize that this country has no right to be the voice of reason for the world when bloodletting has become such a popular sport here at home?
