Dear Members of The US Congress;

While my thoughts and prayers go out to those who suffered a loss in the recent shootings in Newtown, Conn, those thoughts also turn to the young man who was obviously mentally ill and wonder why someone didn't see this and get him help. This is especially true in light of the fact that that his own BROTHER stated that he had a “personality disorder” and was autistic?? If he knew, then why didn't others see this and act accordingly!

My next point is that each year over 830,000 children die needlessly in automobile accidents world wide with approximately 8,000 of those being in the United States. So that begs the question of where is the outrage and the screams for CAR BANS! I'm sure by now you see where I'm going with this!

Next item, the worst slaughter of school children in the history of this country occurred in 1927 when another mad man planted explosives in a school in Michigan and proceeded to kill 38 children and 6 adults simply because he lost a public election??? Neighbors stated after that incident that this guy was acting strangely for a fair amount of time before he killed all those children?? And no one acted on this even though he was known to have some issues?

So in review, ALL these mass killings have been done by a person that was mentally ill and while some chose guns to do their dirty deeds, others did not, which also begs the question of why the knee jerk reaction and calls to ban guns when the gun is not the guilty party in ANY of these mass murders??

So I'm telling you that you need to back off, take a deep breath and understand that guns do NOT kill people and SPOONS did NOT make Rosie Odonnell FAT!

NO MORE GUN CONTROL AND GET RID OF GUN FREE ZONES SO THAT PEOPLE WILL AT LEAST HAVE THE OPTION OF DEFENDING THEMSELVES!!

Final note, what if teachers in that school would have been allowed to carry a firearm? How many lives would have been spared if they had!
