*By Ruth Rosen Santa Monica*

Your May 8 editorial (Guest Commentary: “Nobody seems to lend support to our troops,” page 5) endorsing less gun control in Washington D.C. ignores the fact that we have too many guns in circulation in the U.S. How many more massacres and daily killings do we need?

America has the highest rate of death by gun than any country in the civilized world.

Enough already.
