Letter to the Editor: ''Police cannot protect citizens''
12:56pm Friday, April 25, 2003
Medina resident John J. Myers has written an excellent letter to the editor" in the Cleveland Plain Dealer addressing Ohio's status as one of only 6 states that denies its citizens the right to defend themselves, family and home with a firearm. John is fed up with the fact that, according to that city's police chief, Medina has become ''easy pickings'' for armed robbers".
Paradoxically, a second letter writer points out that an AK-47 was used in a recent New Orleans school shooting, and argues that the incident gives reason to uphold the assault weapons ban. Uh...let's think that one over...the ban became law 10 years ago...and the shooting happened 10 days ago. How can that be? Wasn't the ban supposed to prevent such crimes?
