Well done. Have you submitted that to the letter section of any local papers?

I just read the other day that polls show that Malloy is trailing his opponent by something like 6 points.

you're not going to stop people who have no regard for the law by restricting people who FOLLOW the law

Bravo. And I don't mind buying my ammo in New Hampshire.

Excellent essay. While my family deeply sympathizes with the families that lost children we also deeply resent their efforts to make it more difficult to protect our children. I simply do not understand the mindset of shuffling on the train rather than dying fighting the conductors.

Thank you for this excellent essay, "never forget" has many meanings.

>> They want to do SOMETHING that will stop other families from having to experience the evil they endured.

The emphasis must be on mental illness, not the 2nd Amendment.

Thank you for the post.

Thanks for posting this.

Well said and our sympathies for what you and your neighbors had to endure.

Thanks for the essay. I just moved to Newtown a couple weeks ago. It really is a very nice town here. People are very friendly here and many of the towns here in Fairfield county lean conservative - which is a nice surprise, being that I came down here from Massachusetts.

Re the “Sandy Hook families,” the media did the same thing with “9/11 families,” and “the Jersey Girls,” i.e., the relatives who agree with the media are cast as ALL the families and do get ALL the attention. It’s simply amazing how that works.

Where was this essay when we needed it in March and April when the gun control laws were being “discussed” by the CT legislature before being passed. (Not that it would have helped to prevent the passage of this insanity)

Nice write-up.

I take I-84 from PA to MA a few times a year. Never stop in CT. No gas, no food, nothing.

The gas especially is overpriced.

Well thought out and well written. Suggest sending to NRA for publication in their monthly magazines.

There are some vocal gun control people among the relatives of the victims. I counted eight different families speaking out for gun laws like the one we got in Connecticut, with four families being especially vocal. That's about a third of the families involved. Yet the press always refers to them as "The Sandy Hook Families" or "Sandy Hook Parents," implying the involvement and consent of a much larger group.

So we gun owners have gone further underground in Newtown then normal Connecticut residents.

Why stay "underground"? Why don't you start getting very vocal and stand up to the bullies? I don't understand.
