Not just wrong... but illegal, unconstitutional, destructive, bank-breaking, counter-productive...
In preparation to take the oath of office for his second time, the president is using the mass murders at Sandy Hook to justify unconstitutional measures that not only violate the rights of the law-abiding, but do nothing to reduce the culture of crime.
My thoughts on the matter are in my Illinois Review column today, if you're interested, here:
An earlier one with less people killed, but whole families perished was the BABBS SWITCH fire in 1924.
Then there was the New London TX school explosion which killed 295 students and teachers in 1937.
Life is not guaranteed as our politicians wish it to be.
Thank you John for posting such a well written, intelligent article. I was so captivated by every word it was if someone was calmly sitting in front of me talking over a cup of coffee. At what point? When will it happen? It must if things don’t change. My steps? Preparing, which most people are. Now trying to get plugged in. Because when “it” hits. They will shut down or control then internet so in depth. How will we reach out and communicate then?
Wouldn’t it be a hoot if it turned out to be the fact that Adam Lanza didn’t use the AR15 and left it in the car after all?
