Letter: People with emotional issues not new; gun availability is
People with emotional issues
not new; gun availability is
“One student dead, seven others injured” says a headline (Page A5, May 8). How sad, but not just the toll. How sad that the article is not on Page 1, with a headline in huge letters.
How sad that it doesn’t tell the real meaning — that no student or school staff member in the United States is safe.
How sad that we don’t acknowledge that there were always citizens with emotional issues, but guns were not always so easily available. How sad that our children are dying in this way.
How sad that this is the new normal.
