Dear Editor,
Apropos of your editorial comment “Save America from its guns and its wars.
https://www.theindianpanorama.news/editorial-comment/save-america-from-its-guns-and-its-wars/
Gun violence in America is a prevalent, mind-numbing social dilemma resulting in deaths and injuries to people of all ages and social groups, but particularly high among lower income and minority groups. It is heart wrenching to see the continuing pattern of children being massacred in schools, while gun advocates hide behind the façade of so-called constitutional protection. “Thoughts and prayers” are momentary salves for a nation that bleeds every day from this manmade scourge. It is unfortunate, and unbecoming, that elected officials are beholden to gun rights advocates and manufacturers while their constituents clamor for sensible gun safety and laws. The inability and fear among elected officials to do the right things to protect citizens from gun violence is a shameful act of cowardice.
