Thank God your correspondent R. Frank 19 April 2013 who was shocked to the marrow to see guns advertised, didn't read pages 26 & 27 of The Weekend Sun.
There he would have found a centrefold of lethal weapons including Holdens, Hondas, Nissans, Fords and all manner of slaying machines. Had he done so he would probably still be hiding under his bed.
Mr Frank should check the statistics of fatalities in cars against those involving firearms.
There are very few dangerous guns except when they are in the wrong hands or used for wrong reasons.
I grew up in the 1950s when most kids wore a sheath knife or at least carried a pocket knife.
Back then, a rifle over your shoulders in the main street attracted no more attention than the milkman. What has changed is the society we have evolved down to thanks to the social engineers, do gooders, drugs, gutless politicians and abysmal parenting.
You should not be afraid of guns Mr Frank, you should be very afraid of society.

I think people actually need cars, but not guns. Do you really think that do-gooders are responsible for societies so called ills? Drugs have nothing to do with it, but alcohol probably does, social engineers are a figment of the right wing imagination, if we all had right wings we would end up flying around in circles. Your letter sounds like it could be written by the NRA or Tea Party. Ahhh but the good old days!!! Where you could get away with being racist or homophobic and everyone thought you were great and bought you a bland tasting warm beer. Lets not forget about the good old days, turn back the clock, switch on the time machine and relax cause what you don't know won't hurt you, and what you don't know, you just don't want to know anyway.
