Opinion Line (Dec. 5)

The San Bernardino shootings were in a “gun-free zone.” Gun-free zones are just an open invitation for terrorists. Take down all the no-gun signs.

It is time to set reasonable bullet limits and keep track of who buys them, just like they do with narcotics.

So Rep. John Whitmer and the other state legislative puppets of the NRA knew that “campus carry” was a part of the “constitutional carry” law they voted in, and they think their votes are “veto-proof” (Dec. 3 Eagle). It’s time to “veto” them on the ballot before they kill us all.

The flag code mentions lowering the flag to half-staff after the death of respected officials or foreign dignitaries. Lowering the flag for any Tom, Dick or Harry who is killed by any other Tom, Dick or Harry is not respecting our country or our flag.

Someone said these shootings keep happening since Americans threw God out of our country. Someone tell me: How many people need to pray before he helps us? Does he go by a percentage or number?

I can’t believe a president of the U.S. would say that global warming is more important than protecting us from radical Muslims.

Several of the nutcase Republicans running for president can solve global warming in about 20 minutes. It’s called nuclear winter.

Kudos to Secretary of State Kris Kobach. He proved voter fraud actually exists, throwing sand in the faces of the critics, with the guilty plea deal of the first defendant he charged. The citizens thank him.

Almost a hundred grand to figure out what bus routes the city should keep? Why do we have a mayor or the City Council? What would they say they do here?

Why cannot our Wichita police force do something about the crimes being committed around Lincoln and Woodlawn and Harry and Woodlawn? Maybe a sting of sorts should be considered.

How many accidents have to occur before the Rock Road speed limit is lowered to 30 mph?

There are all kinds of things being said today about feminism. What about masculinism?

Of course manufacturers, shippers and trucking companies would like to cut costs by allowing increased weight capacities on our highways. But would they pay for the extra cost of keeping up roads and bridges? And what about the person crushed to oblivion in a wreck with such a big rig?

It seems that local Wichita TV station news shows are more interested in promoting themselves than delivering news.

If it weren’t for the mailman, we wouldn’t have anything to recycle.
