The wrong cause

Editor,

We are feeling a particular sadness this Christmas season. Preparations for family gatherings, gift giving, school programs, and making of confections have become less important. Our sorrow over the shootings at Newtown, Conn., is heavy in our hearts. How can something so horrendous and evil happen? Why would anyone kill little innocent children?

Now the talk is about gun control. If guns were not available, this would not have happened. Really?? For days I felt sick for the parents and the little children who witnessed this horrific event. I asked God to be with them and comfort them....
