Vietnam veteran deeply concerned by inaction of Congress on gun control

Gun vote shows politicians have been bought and paid for by the NRA
The result of the gun control votes in the U.S. Senate sickened me ("Defeat leaves gun control backers at a loss for strategy," April 19). It was so simple and would have made people throughout the country who have had their lives turned upside down...
