Letter: Bullet proof

Published 16 October 2013

From Thomas Groves

Given that gun lovers in the US seem impervious to moral or rational argument (28 September, p 30), I suggest that the only remaining hope is to make their weapons useless.

One way would be to produce bullet-proof clothing which is both wearable on a casual basis and cheap enough to become ubiquitous. A forlorn hope, but it’s all I can think of.
