To the editor:
“Thoughts and prayers” do not bring people back from the dead. Situations like the massacre of 19 fourth graders and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas, has rendered us powerless to do anything else, because we have a government that up until now has failed to act. About 45,000 people are killed by guns each year in the United States. That is the equivalent of Shawano County (population 40,000) and Menominee County (population 5,000) slaughtered by a bullet every year.
