To the editor,
A recent letter to the Sentinel suggested there is a correlation between abortion (lack of respect for life) and mass murders in the United States. Seventy other countries including all of the world's developed countries allow abortions on demand. None of them have the number of mass killings that occur in the United States. Since 2004, the U.S. has been number one in the world in mass killings. There is no correlation between abortion and mass killings.
There is however, a direct and demonstrable correlation between the lifting of the assault weapons ban in 2004 and the number of mass killings in the United States. As the number of assault type rifles and large capacity magazines increases, so does the number of mass murders in the U.S. It's past time for logical restrictions on this type of weapon and large capacity magazines.
