Detective Philip Marlowe ( Bogart) on " this gun loving country "

  I just read Tim Norton's letter " Right to life trumps right to gun " , August 8.  For some strange reason my homeless friend., " Ragged Dave ", wanted to see an old Humphrey Bogart movie last night, " The Big Sleep ".   Dave caught a great line by detective Philip Marlowe on  " this gun loving country ":  " Such a lot of guns around town and so few brains ".
          The basis for this obsession for gun rights is a nearly insane worship of private property rights - in a country where- as Senator Elizabeth Warren observes- our middle class is being ruined.
