(Shutterstock)As a father — a father who was fortunate enough to have a job that made it possible to drop our kids off at school nearly every day from elementary through to high school — I grieve for the parents who lost six- and seven-year-olds in the horrible shootings last week in Newtown, Conn.
So it is with the deepest regret that I even raise this subject while the little victims of that mass killing are being laid to rest. I wish with all my heart I didn’t have to talk politics in the shadow of this tragedy.
But the forces that would regulate personal freedom in the name of public safety are already using the raw emotions generated by this horrific event to call for restrictions on law-abiding citizens’ rights in the name of preventing a repeat.
