Comparing guns and gator attacks in the March 30 article Gauging danger: gators and guns, is non sequitur. An argument overlooked: Gators usually attack and kill for food. People using guns can kill anyone, anytime, anyplace — and not for food.

Where is the logic in passing this legislation from supposedly educated, peaceful leaders?
