Letters: Let’s put our threats in perspective

AP

Twice as many Americans have been killed in this country since 9/11 by angry white men with guns as by Islamic terrorists.

So if our legislators feel the need to register and harass innocent human beings who only wish to flee the terror that is destroying their homeland, it is only logical that they also register and keep a close watch on all the white men in our state who have ties to the KKK or other white supremacist organizations, the NRA or Donald Trump.
