Thomas Jones’s letter, “A Safer World” [December 19], prompted me to write this letter.
Mr. Jones crows about Donald Trump’s leadership. He says Trump’s leadership will make the world safer.
I would like to see President-elect Trump show some leadership with gun safety here in the United States.
Just the other day, a 15-year-old girl in Madison, Wisconsin, shot and killed a student and a teacher and injured several others before she killed herself. This shooting in Wisconsin is the 83rd school shooting recorded in 2024, surpassing 2023 for the most school shootings in a single year since CNN began tracking such incidents in 2008.
Our country leads the world in gun violence and school shootings. It’s a disgrace that Republican elected officials refuse to ban assault weapons, and they refuse to enact common sense gun reforms.
Trump is able to get his loyal Republican congressmen to back virtually all his whims and desires, including questionable cabinet appointees. Well, let’s see him get them to support meaningful gun legislation, which will save our children’s lives.
