And here's another charming letter to the editor [View all]

God, our resident teabag gun nuts are a special variety of stupid.

There are 270 million guns on the streets of America. Do politicians really think an insane person can't get one of these? One way to prevent future similar tragedies is to have armed guards protecting our schools as a deterrent to keep insane people away or stop them in their tracks.

Armed guards are present at the school Obama's children attend and many other politicians, so why can't our children have the same level of protection?

It's ironic that on the very day that 20 children were murdered at Sandy Hook, there was also on average 3,400 babies killed at abortion clinics across our great nation and 27 people killed by drunk drivers. Obama and Biden seem to be OK with one form of murder but not the other.

Which is worse, the 3,400 children killed at abortion clinics Dec. 14 or the 20 at Sandy Hook? I don't see anyone trying to ban abortion clinics or alcohol.
