Recent rapid responses
Rapid responses are electronic letters to the editor. They enable our users to debate issues raised in articles published on bmj.com. Although a selection of rapid responses will be included as edited readers' letters in the weekly print issue of the BMJ, their first appearance online means that they are published articles. If you need the url (web address) of an individual response, perhaps for citation purposes, simply click on the response headline and copy the url from the browser window.

It is amazing to me to think that the possession of a gun brings violence. I have not met a gun yet that jumped up on it's own and hurt anyone!!
The simple fact is that people hurt other people with or without a gun.
In America today, we have many crazy people, drug addicts and people with alcoholism who are on our streets.
Our mental health laws are weak and really offer no means to get people in whom medication and other help fails off our streets. Many times these sick people have been released on their own or in the custody of a scared family member who can get no help because of our laws.
We must strengthen our mental health laws so that they help the sick patient, their families and the public.
