Thanks to Bill Nemitz for his column in the Dec. 16 newspaper, “20 difficult questions for the NRA,” which I think belonged on the editorial page.

I’d like to add two questions to his list:

* If there were no guns, would there be fewer deaths?

* If everybody had a gun (see M.D. Harmon’s dreadful column last week), would there be more deaths?
