Dear Sirs

 

Of course the attempted attack on the various government officials should be condemned. We are already sliding into third world status, but we should certainly not condone violence as a means to a political end.

Of course people feared for their lives--just as school children in the many school shootings have. Hearts pounded as they hid under the tables--no one should have to endure such fear. And yet our schoolchildren and their teachers are never free from the threat of another school shooting. Practice barring the door and hiding in a closet--if there is a closet.

POTUS argues that this incident proves he needs a bunker disguised as a gilded ballroom. I argue that until school children have the same level of protection, he should make do with his Secret Service.

Or, and here's a thought, perhaps we could have some serious gun control nationwide.

Like a civilized first world country.
