Editor,

Most Republicans view the recent tragedies as acts of terrorism.

Most Democrats view it as gun violence.

Following the Democrats logic, ISIS beheadings should be called acts of “knife violence;” suicide bombings would be “vest violence” and car bombings would be “vehicle violence.”

It is the act of terrorism that is the cause, not the implement.

There are none so blind as they who will not see.
