SNIPER KILLINGS AND GUN LAW

LIAM DOOLEY,

LIAM DOOLEY,

Madam, - After hearing news of the arrest of two suspects in the Washington sniper case, I visited the website of the National Rifle Association, one of the most powerful lobby groups in the US, to get an alternative view of the topic. The "Top Headlines" section of the website makes no reference to the murders which have been headline news throughout the world.

To me, this typifies the NRA's ignorant, selfish and narrow-minded view of America's gun laws by ignoring incidents such as this. The proponents of Americans' "right to bear arms" are failing to address the terminal consequences of such flawed laws. - Yours etc.,

LIAM DOOLEY,
