Re: Gun control

I have been a strong critic of many articles published in the Appeal-democrat over the years, as well as complained several times that the paper was not complete, especially when the comics were not included in the E-edition.

I want to tell you how impressed and pleased i was this morning to read “Our View: Arguing about gun control won’t pose solutions to the question of why someone would want to kill others.”

The view was so refreshing and accurate about the today’s society problems, and the issues of mass shootings and gun control. We do not need more rules and laws, but we certainly need to address the issues of mental health, depression, racism, and upbringing. You did fail to address the elimination of all the violence-related video games and just videos with violence, but that should be covered under parental responsibility and control. This article should be reprinted weekly and shared across the nation. Every American should embrace this philosophy, reach out to those in need, discuss the issues with their children, and individually take responsibility for your personal actions.

Being a retired educator and not wanting more requirements placed on our already burdened educational system, it would seem logical that a curriculum could be carefully designed to address society issues mentioned in this article. thank you for clearly explaining your opinion ...
