Letter: Gun regulations help keep violence down

I think guns and small firearms should be well-regulated and still let people defend themselves.

I think we have a low gun violence rate here in Hawaii because of regulations.

Who do the gun-rights advocates perceive to be this huge menace we need to defend ourselves against?

To quote the old comic strip Pogo: “We have met the enemy and he is us.”
