A Letter to the Editor of Esquire Magazine
from Chip Elliott

The text that follows deserves wide and repeated redistribution, anywhere a semi- or fully-thoughtful anti-gunner can be found and cornered long enough to read it. Chip Elliott, author of a novel entitled Tomorrow Come Sunrise, published in 1970, wrote the below letter in response to an April 1981 article in Esquire Magazine entitled “Fifty Million Handguns.” It so impressed the editors that it was published in the September 1981 issue as the cover story. Mr. Elliot’s comments are just as relevant to the gun issue as they were the day they were written ? and his effervescent authenticity is indeed deeply appreciated. Esquire Magazine did a great service by running this letter ? do your part by making sure someone else reads it.
