Letter To Editor / TYRANNY BY MINORITY

By Roger C. Kostmayer

The outrageous decisions by 6 unelected partisan Supreme Court justices defied precedent and the bipartisan will of the American people.  This issue is about life and death because reversing state gun safety regulations, by ruling that virtually all people have a constitutional right to carry concealed deadly weapons, will cost many more lives; while women who have had reproductive rights for 50 years just had them taken away by the 6 conservative justices who over-turned Roe v Wade.  These two awful decisions will cost unnecessary human suffering and the lives of many women of meager means.  The loss of established rights to privacy and to individual health decisions is tragic and unacceptable.

Blatant hypocrisy is also being normalized.  Pro-Lifers are often Pro-Gun.  People who refused to get vaccinated because they oppose government interference, now  advocate FOR government control of womens’ health issues- even in cases of rape and incest.  Many Pro-Police advocates now want everyone to have concealed weapons, which  endangers the lives of police everywhere.

Hatred for those with whom you disagree is tempting but unhelpful.  Now is the time for ordinary people to stand up, speak up, participate and VOTE in every local and national election.  If they do so, motivated by gun deaths of children and the rage of women who are losing their right to decide their reproductive fate, the next Congress could codify Roe v Wade and produce common sense gun regulations like banning assault weapons.
