Editor: By shutting the Platinum and Primetime clubs, Statesboro has put an old Band-Aid on the symptom and not the cause of the gun problem in our city and the country in general. Closing clubs while simultaneously financing a new shooting range is hypocrisy. If you believe its people not guns that are the problem, then why did German police only fire 85 bullets in the entire year of 2011 while this total is exceeded in many single chase/arrests in the U.S.?
