![Re âSo thereâs no way to prevent shootings?â (Nov. 5): While columnist Larry Wilson is correct about the scarcity of mass shootings in other countries, the real problem in the U.S. is that we resort to violence far more often than other countries. The possession or absence of guns isnât the only cause of violence; Utah has relatively lax gun laws compared to California, yet its murder rate and violent crime rates are about half of that of California and firearms are used in a smaller percentage of its murders.

![It is real on our campuses Oh, campus antisemitism is real all right. Itâs being shown nightly on the news mostly by the right-leaning Fox News. I am somewhat flummoxed personally because most all modern civilized societies have rejected the tenets of Nazism with its fascist underpinnings. The barbarism exhibited by the terrorist group Hamas justifies Israelâs quest for retribution. It is a terrible shame that they hide behind civilians and expect a pass for their reprehensible actions on Oct. 7.
