Muslim smuzlim! Muslim is the first word out of the mouth of the hatemonger at the coffee shop. He said, “Did you hear that a Muslim killed 12 soldiers at Ft. Hood?” The soldier who did the killing was Major Hasan and if he hadn’t had semiautomatic guns there wouldn’t be 12 dead and 31 injured U.S. soldiers at an army base. That’s what can happen when a mentally unstable person gets their hands on guns. When a bigot sounds off at your coffee shop, tell him it’s the guns stupid. That’s exactly what I did. Army Major Hasan wouldn’t have been able to kill 12 soldiers and wound 31 more if he had only knives or a baseball bat. RON LOWE, Nevada City
