HOLD PERSON, NOT GUN, ACCOUNTABLE

Editor:

"Moments earlier, Bright had doused Allred with gasoline, then tried
to set him on fire with a charcoal lighter. The lighter never
ignited." (From July 19 Charleston Gazette.)

Perhaps we should outlaw gasoline. It could be the weapon of choice
after we ban guns. At the very least, we should put trigger guards on
charcoal lighters. People should be held accountable their own actions.

Release marijuana smokers from prison and use the space to lock people
up for 20 years after using a gun to commit a crime.
