> To the Editor:

> I live in Sandy Hook, CT. My family and close friends
>weren't harmed on December 14. That day impacted 26 families
> with an indescribable, staggering pain and anguish. For most of
> Sandy Hook, it merely affected us with an inescapable
> intensity of sadness and grief.
>
> Gun control has long been a focus of many in this country.
> Though I'm not knowledgeable of all the nuances of the Second
> Amendment, based on the Founding Fathers' circumstances, it
> had far more to do with enabling the citizenry to protect
> themselves against tyrannical government than against local
> psychopaths. It is about providing a balanced firepower
> so when King George's successor came knocking on your door, you
> could fight back. Government today is no less inclined to
> abuse its authority than it was then. Based on the absurd
> and ongoing power grab that is present day Washington, it's as
> threatening as ever.
>
> That so many of you view the NRA with its resistance to
> further restrictions on firearms as intransigent lunatics has
> far more to do with how you conduct yourselves in office than
> it does with the NRA's actions.
>
> You in public office are fundamentally dishonest people. You
> lead lives of deception at every turn, structuring your lives
> as comfortably as you can while governing with an indifference
> and arrogance that is absolutely maddening. When the country
> is reeling from financial disaster, you waste a trillion
> dollars on a health care bill we can't afford and you've never
> read. You claim it's critical because health care costs are
> killing this country. No they're not, you are! YOU are
> killing this country. You endorse the ongoing slaughter of
> millions of unborn children and whine when terrorists are water
> boarded. You can't lecture us right in Newtown High School
> about not doing enough to keep our children safe, while
> simultaneously slaughtering the unborn. You fabricate the
> intense, media laden drama of the fiscal cliff and lack the
> courage to do anything about truly reforming the obscene
> gluttony of government. You know you'll be out of office
> before the bill comes due. you don't care and have neither
> integrity nor honor.
>
> You lie whenever and wherever you need to move forth your
> agenda. Were you able, you would purge the US of guns, every
> last gun in the country, if you could. So please forgive Wayne
> LaPierre and those of us who don't trust you as far as we can
> spit. You're a dishonest lot, motivated by a distorted
> worldview. If mass murder prevention were truly your goal, you
> would welcome armed security wherever needed. It is outrageous
> that we protect our money with far more firepower than
> we protect our children.
>
> I have never owned a gun, nor wanted to as intensely as right
> now. You'll stop restricting guns when only you have them.
