Marlette on Guns
- Share via
If it is fair for cartoonist Marlette to depict Beirut, Haiti and Washington, D.C., as “N.R.A. Dream Vacations” (Editorial Page, June 24), it is also fitting to portray China under (Chinese senior leader) Deng Xiaoping as a gun-grabber’s paradise.
The good news is that Beijing has gun control laws second to none; the bad news is that the murders, the brutality, the roundups, the terror, the torture and the executions continue unabated.
Given an alternative, the unarmed martyrs of Tian An Men Square would probably choose Beirut, Haiti or Washington, D.C.
