Louise Taylor: Gun money

Greg Lowenhagen’s June 26 Point of View “A bedtime story” laid bare the consequences of revering the “right to bear arms” above all other rights.

I’m hoping for a sequel on the consequences of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that “freedom of speech” includes the freedom to spend without limits on a political campaign.

This decision allows gun merchants and manufacturers to “speak” with their campaign contributions to defeat any candidate advocating restrictions on firearms.
