No place is absolutely safe for travellers; tourists have recently been taken hostage in Turkey,
wounded in cafe bombings in Egypt and shot down in the streets of Manila. But it wasn't easy
to escape the conclusion that the prevalence of guns in American hands has given deadly force
to festering social frustrations. The Washington based Travel Industry Association of America,
the leading tourism trade group, joined Disney in calling for gun control last week. But there
was no such call from Florida. The toughest
proposal now circulating would ban hand guns for those under 18 unless they are used for
hunting, gun classes or target shooting. Whether that would have
any impact is arguable In a
city like Miami locked in its own urban arms race.
