Sandy Hook Elementary School and Gun Violence

What happened at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut is yet another reminder that guns and people do not mix. I have written many, many letters, articles, blogs and whatever over the years about guns, the NRA, the killings of countless innocent people and shootings at schools. Guns MUST be banned. The NRA has often said that "Guns don't kill people. People kill people." That is BS. People use guns to kill other people and they have done so in record numbers. Society is out of control when it comes to violence and guns are a major part of the problem. Gun owners and the NRA always use the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States Bill of Rights as proof of their "right" to bear arms. The Second Amendment is outdated and assault weapons and other like weapons have no place in society. Such weapons are only used to kill people. We the majority of the people have had enough of gun violence and the deaths of so many innocent people including children because of guns. The NRA needs to shut up because the people's right to be free from gun violence far outweighs the right to bear arms. If (God forbid) your child becomes another shooting victim, I'm sure you will agree. George Vreeland Hill
