Letters to the Editor for Sept. 10
What to do when you loseWhen a political party loses an election, it has three choices. It could reexamine its policies and message and change them to appeal to more voters. Secondly, it could double down on its policies and try to clarify its message in hopes of persuading more voters. Lastly, it could try to limit opposition voters by suppressing the vote. The Republican Party has taken the third course, which tells us what they think of democracy.
Mr. Farren, supposedly a free marketer, betrays his trust in free markets by supporting government-protected labor unions. Though he claims labor unions were originally necessary “to draw attention ... to low wages long hours,” surely he recognizes that the only way to increase real wages is for businesses to invest in new technology so that workers become more productive and thus can be paid more. Labor unions have outgrown their usefulness and now serve as a drag on the American economy.
As a certified firearms instructor I must point out a glaring error. The writer states, “A semi-automatic rifle can fire up to 750 rounds a minute.” Outrageous — the trigger would have to be pulled 12.5 times per second! Impossible. The rate quoted is within the range for a fully automatic weapon. Does G.A. Clark understand the difference between semi-automatic and fully automatic? Semi-automatic means one round, and one round only, for every pull of the trigger.
