Alex Haller’s ideas make perfect sense (“One Sandy Hook Family’s Gun Ideas,” Ramesh Ponnuru, PostOpinion, Jan. 23).
They won’t be adopted because ghoulish progressives, like Gov. Cuomo and President Obama, love to exploit other peoples’ tragedies.
For them it is not about controlling guns, but us.
The ultimate question is a simple one: What do you call a people without access to guns?

NFL wife woe
What has become of this world (“NFL Wife Hooters & Hollers,” Jan. 22)?
Anna Welker, wife of New England Patriot Wes Welker, stated her opinion and later had to apologize for it.
I don’t understand why, when all she was doing was stating verifiable facts about the Baltimore Ravens’ Ray Lewis.
For this, The Post brands her “not very lady-like in defeat.”

Phil’s tax facts
Phil Mickelson spoke his mind against the progressive tax agenda in California and was forced to apologize (“Had Your Phil of Taxes?” Editorial, Jan. 25).
Doesn’t the First Amendment apply to everybody?
When will conservatives stop apologizing for speaking truthfully about high taxes and the entire Obama regimen?

Flu-shot flack
Dr. Evan Levine’s op-ed smacks of the typical complex that many doctors walk around with today (“NY Hospital Flu Horror,” PostOpinion, Jan. 18).
If an educated and licensed nurse doesn’t agree with his conclusion on the flu shot, he slams them personally and accuses them of making the wrong choice and taking a risk to themselves and the patients, instead of presenting evidence.
Many flu shots have an efficacy rate at best of about 60 percent and are filled with ingredients like aluminum, mercury, MSG and formaldehyde.
These nurses know the risks of taking chemicals and the benefits of taking the flu shot, and have made an informed choice.
Too bad Levine doesn’t respect their capabilities.

Leo’s green idea
I can certainly understand why Leonardo DiCaprio would need to take a break, having starred in three movies in two years (“Leo Puts ‘Breaks’ on Acting,” Jan. 22).
His living “green” is admirable, but wouldn’t his plans to “fly around the world doing good for the environment” pollute the environment? Also, his electric car is plugged into a power source.
Surely, the electricity he is using is generated by fuel.
In the United States, some of that electricity is powered by coal.
Maybe DiCaprio needs to rest first before he speaks.

Listen to the Brit
Bill O’Reilly’s column concerning our president’s unapologetic sharp turn left was spot on (“Pumping Up the Liberalism,” PostOpinion, Jan. 25).
Our president’s use of the word “equality” is his term for socialism.
As the great Margaret Thatcher once said, “The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.”
That’s the road we’re on.
