Gun Checks

Re “House Weakens Proposal to Regulate Gun Shows,” June 18:

Yet again our Republican-controlled Congress has displayed its mettle in the battle to reduce violent crime in America by voting to weaken background checks at gun shows but calling for the posting of the Ten Commandments in schools and government buildings. Might I suggest a compromise--require the posting of the Ten Commandments at gun shows.

So I see the Republicans in Congress want to make it a crime to expose our youth to any movies, video games or books that contain explicit sex or violence (June 18). I guess they will have to ban the Bible.
