It was great seeing that Gov. Joe Lombardo vetoed three gun bills (Thursday’s Review-Journal). He is right: They would have infringed on our Second Amendment rights. Plus, it would’ve made a lot of parents and homeowners criminals.

Then lower down the page I saw a story revealing that the Clark County School District may sue social media outlets, alleging negative effects on student mental health. The article listed the law firms. Well, I’d like to sue district officials for failing to educate their students and keep them safe. And for wasting taxpayer money. Any law firms want the job? It’s a slam dunk.

Frankly, if I had kids at Columbia who participated in these “protests,” I’d yank them out of school, toss their stuff onto the lawn and tell them to get a job, go live in the real world and pay your own way.

Bruce A. Kesselman Las Vegas

In the 2020 election, Mr. Biden ran on promises he has failed to keep. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
