Letter to the Editor

Common sense and gun enthusiasts apparently do not belong in the same sentence. Looking for common ground is also an anathema to the NRA and their puppets.

Compromise used to be common in Congress. It has left the building, as has a willingness to listen to the will of the people [Shooting blanks, June 26].

The radicalization of many Republicans is nothing more than the selling of our government to the highest bidder. The NRA has no place at the table and needs to be removed, possibly surgically, like the cancer it has become.

Prostituting the Second Amendment for their own depraved interest must be called out each and every time they use it as a badge of honor.

Iowans: In November, remember who stood up for the people and who sold their souls to the devil/NRA.
