The unfortunate events reported in the Sept. 29 story Father kills masked son leads one to believe that guns should not be legal possessions.

As the incident demonstrates, untrained, inexperienced citizens using guns for their "protection" leads to tragedy. More guns will never lead to more peace.

Let trained law-enforcement officials who protect us carry guns. Let's have faith that they are always working to ensure our safety.
