Wow, I am so glad that our elected leaders have finally figured out how to curb “gun violence” in our city — who knew that signage was the key to enforcement (“Honolulu mayor aims to sign bill limiting concealed guns,” Star-Advertiser, March 18)? Just think of all the other laws and ordinances that could be enforced with a few simple signs: “No monster homes allowed,” “No homeless allowed,” “No drinking and driving allowed,” “No sea-erosion countermeasures allowed.” The list goes on.
Yes, now we will be so much safer. Just think of all the criminals and miscreants who will now be able to much more easily figure out where to hang out and conduct their business: at a posted gun-friendly locale or somewhere else, like a safe, “gun-free” safe zone where one can blissfully ignore their surroundings because, after all, it’s “safe.”
