LETTER: More arguments in the gun debate

In his recent letter, Peter Scalisi responds to letter writer Tehran Bolton’s contention that “if a gun is used in a crime, the person who sold it to the felon, mentally challenged person or minor should receive prison time equal to the sentence of the perpetrator.”

But this is specious. Selling a gun to a minor, a felon or mentally challenged person is illegal. Selling a car to someone is not.
