Editor, Times-Union: You know, for weeks now I have been reading papers, watching news shows and hearing conversations regarding “bans” on various guns, 30-round magazines and so on. We all feel the pain of the loss of 20 children and six adults of Sandy Hook Elementary School last month, due to a mentally ill person whose mother aided in his ability to do this horrible crime. She also lost her life at his hands. The president of the United States and his fake tears went on national T.V. “becrying” the fact of the loss of life of 20 precious children. The outrage! “This type of thing must stop!” Where is the outrage from “everyone” regarding the loss of life of thousands of babies, children, aborted in this nation every year! Where is the president’s outrage? Where are the tears? Where are all of you who want more gun laws? These crazies need to be turned in by the people living with them – by the doctors treating them – by “well-meaning” family, friends, teachers, others who fear them. Unborn babies suffer when they are murdered. They feel the pain of burning to death by chemicals. They feel the pain of being ripped to pieces inside a mother who should be protecting them instead of murdering them. Where is all the outrage? Where is the law on this? Instead the president signed a bill granting Planned Parenthood thousands of dollars. These wild, insane people who commit mass murder are going to kill no matter what, as long as they are not locked up. Three thousand people were killed on 9-11 with box cutters but they weren’t outlawed. You can walk into any hardware stole and buy a box cutter. Formulas for making bombs are on the Internet – let’s ban “bomb-making” formulas! A person intent on murder will do it any way they can. If everyone values their children, grandchildren and others, lets fight to enforce the laws we already have on the books. Lets ban the whole-scale murder or abortion in this nation (then U.S. citizen wouldn’t have to go to Russia and South America to adopt.) Let the second amendment alone and concentrate on saving all our children. And put the mentally ill where they belong so that they may get help or be where they can’t harm others. Stop the violent movies and video games. And stop murdering unborn babies. That’s the reality. Most of all, pray. God help us all. Linda Torpy Claypool
