Letter to the editor: Children suffer when we cater to minority of gun owners

The horrifying murder of small children is not the worst of it. The worst of it is catering to a minority of paranoid gun owners, who do not represent a majority of gun owners, to force millions of small children to endure drills and the presence of armed guards. They are fooled by sugarcoated explanations of “protection.” They watch television, too. What kind of country will we have when they grow up, carrying their instilled terrors into adulthood?

Men disabled by crippled souls keep promising relief as they hand out ever more money to “harden” schools into prisons. Meanwhile, parents submit their DNA so that their children can be identified, and in their wake come the experts in facial reconstruction. But don’t worry. It will never happen to us or our children.
