FOCUS: When GwinnettForum has a story on guns, you can bet on letters
One reason we print GwinnettForum is to have it available for all to respond to current topics, such as these below. We thank them for joining others who submit. Without you readers, life would not be so much fun. One aspect we require of submissions: to get printed, we require readers to list the name of the city where they get mail. This issue we had four more letters to the editor without a home town listing
