Easy to understand

When Kenneth Delanoy Sr. refers to those voters who voted for gun background checks (“Undo I-594 mess,” Nov. 13), as “dumb and dumber voters,” he assumes that they didn’t understand the referendum. It seems to me that he means a vast majority of the public, including veterans, and the vast majority of National Rifle Association members who happen to agree with gun background checks, are also being dumb and dumber.

Initiative 594 wasn’t difficult to understand. What is hard to understand is why people like Delanoy keep thinking that his and every other law-abiding citizen’s guns are going to be taken away. It hasn’t happened yet, and it isn’t going to happen.

Telling voters to vote with their head and not their heart doesn’t sound to me to be the smartest way to vote. You can easily vote with both, and that’s what the majority of the voters did on I-594.
