I can't believe the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Conn. this last week. And I can't believe the fervor it has touched on. When do my rights collide with another's? It is a question that is difficult to answer. I do not have a gun so I don't think that this is a ramming tool! Law is open to interpretation and yet, those children had a right to grow up and have lives. They are the ones who have lost in this issue!
The indignity of all of this reduces all of us to a selfish, self-centered society. My brother, Autry, was a drunk and it took all of us to keep him from getting into a car and killing others. Families have problems but guns have added to those problems.
How many people knew that this boy was an accident waiting to happen! Did the mother know? I have heard nothing about a father? Did he wash his hands of the whole deal? Few live their lives in a cocoon. I pray for every child who is anticipating such a move and hope that something or someone will intervene. The price is way too heavy for society!
