ACCENT SIGNAGE
Legal action following shooting is misdirected
How is it that a small business that has been devastated by a mass shooting can be sued (?Lawsuit against Accent Signage may proceed,? July 3) and the gun manufacturers cannot be held liable for any damages? Oh, yeah ? that?s because Congress passed laws that indemnify the gun industry from being held responsible for the death and destruction their products bring to our families, friends and coworkers. As those at Accent Signage struggle to put their lives and business back together, a lawsuit adding insult to injury is beyond comprehension. Isn?t it time to stop giving the gun industry a free pass?

SAND MINING
Lessons apply also to mining of metals
The July 5 editorial ?A ready template for sand mine regulation? was certainly on target for sound environmental reasons. Given this, and the quote from Bill Mavity, a retired Twin Cities attorney ? ?This area has a special beauty. If you do heavy industrial mining, you destroy that beauty, and there?s no way you can ever bring it back? ? doesn?t this perspective also apply to precious-metal mining in north-central Minnesota? Can we truly afford to lose thousands of acres of boreal forest and wetlands and go on as if nothing has happened? The leadership of Pepin County, Wis., in the case of sand mining may have an answer for all of us concerned with our fragile and very limited natural resources.
