Letter: Argues for gun control
As Evangelicals celebrate Pro-Life Week in many of their congregations this week, I have to wonder how many pulpits will courageously connect President Obama’s gun control proposals to the issue of life?

Letter: Don’t need more guns
Gun control is much in the news, as it should be, since the tragedy in Newtown, Conn. In my opinion, this discussion is long overdue and much too important to receive a quick fix made when emotions run high. My hope is that cool heads will prevail and long-term solutions can be found.

Letter: Disagrees with DA’s column

Letter: Disagrees with St. Croix County DA
The DA of St. Croix County is living on cloud nine. His law credentials have generated so much power that it has gone to his head. It is time for him to go. Mr. Johnson has decided to join the anti-second amendment crowd, not for gun control but for a total gun ban. Mr. Johnson, you keep your advice, I’ll keep my guns.

St. Croix County District Attorney argues for ‘meaningful’ gun restrictions
Opinion
It’s time. It’s time to enact and support meaningful and effective gun control and registration. It’s time to recognize that the free-for-all in guns has contributed to the violence in our society. It’s time to realize that restrictions on assault weapons and limiting ammunition magazines to 10 rounds are reasonable restrictions.
