Death by Gun Violence—Guns Are Not the Problem

To the Editor I read with interest the editorial by Bauchner et al regarding gun violence and wish to offer a different opinion. My family and I live on a farm in a rural area near Nashville, Tennessee. Crime, including violent crime, is essentially unheard of in our part of the county. I believe that this stems, in part, from the well-known fact that those of us living here are armed. We have rifles and shotguns in our homes and pistols in our vehicles and/or on our persons.
