This is the blackest day for America in this decade. The slaughter of innocents is testimony to our collective inanity and insanity. That we produce such horrific weapons is bad enough, that young adults or even boys and girls use them against each other in war zones is worse. But the worst is permitting them to be used against helpless children in our own communities.
Nothing else correlates with gun violence than the laxity of gun control laws. Days ago Michigan passed newly lax laws to permit concealed weapons in schools, dormitories and sporting events. And today those who voted for those laws demanded that the governor sign them, as their response to the slaughter in Connecticut. It is this deification of guns that is the most insane. Guns will solve every problem. What problem did these guns solve?
It is long past time that this insanity is addressed.
