Good morning Dixie, Here's a copy of a letter I had published in a local paper a few days ago. Very similar. I met a guy in a supermarket who knows me and he said my letter exactly describes how his grandson lives. Every time he says anything to his daughter about it, she goes out of her mind.
Dear Sir, I find all this talk of "gun control" very interesting. As if the gun killed those poor children in Connecticut. The point isn't the gun. The point is that children, especially boys are allowed to exist in a fantasy world, insulated from all outside influences like some sort of hot house plant. Then, when one of them goes completely mad and does something of this horrific magnitude as was done in Connecticut, everybody seems surprised. Stop allowing boys to live like this and these things will stop. If it isn't stopped, don't be surprised at anything our boys might do, or not do. As far as the gun control nonsense goes, if the stupid government was actually able to stop guns from getting into the hands of these type of individuals, which the government won't be able to do (how's the "war on drugs going?"), then these insane individuals would just go onto the idea of suicide bombings/ car bombings, etc. The answer is in stopping the sick way of living that so many of our young men live that leads to this type of behavior.
