With the explosion over gun rights again and again in the newspaper, I propose a simple solution ["An intellectual shell game with the anti-gun folks," March 30]. Since one side does realize that America has more gun-related deaths than the bulk of the Western world, and the other side doesn't want to budge on interpretation, why don't we for once make some real changes? How about some tests for getting a gun permit that are really hard--intellectually speaking, that is. I think people can enjoy their weapons. I just don't think it should be the people who shoot their spouse and kids, shoot a man in the face for a slice of pizza, have deranged kids who shoot up schools, carry guns in their car and then get scared at a traffic stop and shoot an officer, leave their guns loaded and children unattended, scratch off serial numbers, or sell to kids and criminals. For responsible gun owners, there is always going to be another person who is using that weapon for its intended purpose. Drop your handguns. Do it for the guy who was shot in the face for a slice of pizza. Adam Grace Arlington
