Letter to the editor: Proposition Q, a controversial measure on this year’s ballot, would prohibit the ownership of handguns within the city’s limits. Under the plan, gun owners would have a 90-day grace period to turn in their weapons to authorities. Proponents of the proposition argue that fewer handguns on the streets would lead to less violent crime, making the city safer for all of its citizens. Unfortunately, the ban would actually have the opposite effect. Since only law abiding citizens would honor the ban, armed criminals would not only keep their weapons but would also have the confidence to act with impunity on a population that could no longer defend itself.

Colonel Lloyd's plantation. I left it with joy. I shall never
forget the ecstasy with which I received the intelligence
that my old master (Anthony) had determined to let me go
to Baltimore, to live with Mr. Hugh Auld, brother to my old
master's son-in-law, Captain Thomas Auld. I received this
information about three days before my departure. They
were three of the happiest days I ever enjoyed. I spent the

the plantation scruff, and preparing myself for my

Read the excerpt from act 5, scene 1, of Julius Caesar.

BRUTUS. No, Cassius, no:
Think not, thou noble Roman,
That ever Brutus will go bound to Rome.
He bears too great a mind. But this same day
Must end that work the ides of March begun;
And whether we shall meet again I know not.
Therefore our everlasting farewell take.
Forever and forever farewell, Cassius.
If we do meet again, why, we shall smile.
If not, why then, this parting was well made.

It shifts the focus to the men’s consistently loyal friendship.
It creates a positive and optimistic view of the future.
It suggests that they will not meet again.
It highlights their plan to escape their enemy and flee to another country.
