Does Connecticut law do enough to keep kids safe from gun violence? That question is being raised after two separate incidents with kids and guns had deadly consequences.

Probably not as Connecticut has no doubt followed the lead of so many other states in restricting the possession of weapons and training of citizens and youth in marksmanship and gun handling.

It is time to re-install rifle ranges in our public schools and re-establish the American tradition of the 2nd Amendment.

Children should be taught from infancy up how to properly behave around weapons and when to handle them and how.

They should learn from the cradle about the 2nd Amendment- this critical foundation of a representative Constitutional Republic and practice its tenets until they are established in the very fiber of their being.

Otherwise the media inspired education of willful ignorance will continue to kill the youth of this country in these unnecessary incidents.

Best regards,
