Letter to the Editor: Shooting likely could have been prevented

By David Paulus, Floyd

A young man in Georgia “having a bad day” goes into a store, buys a gun, then murders eight people. Avoidable? Probably. Background checks or needing a gun permit may have stopped it.

Meanwhile in Iowa our Republican legislators have passed bills relaxing gun laws making this a real possibility here.

P.S. I own several guns myself.
