Dear Mr. Reich,

I think this is a terrific idea! As you say, when guns are at a place of business, people who try to make their living there are at risk! We need to be sure that guns are banned from all work places, and places of business! Of course, this would have to include any armed security patrols, as well as police. Please note that the vast majority of policement shot in the line of duty, are shot with their own weapons. And we've all heard about cases where security guards have gone nuts, and either shot themselves (some accidentally, others committing suicide, like the Wackenhut security guard in Independence, MO a few years ago) or their co-workers, or clients.

I think that for our safety, it's imperative for the government to ban all firearms from ALL workplaces and businesses. Especially banks!

Sincerely,

Willie Sutton

Oops - "policement" should be "policemen"
