In the aftermath of the Sandy Hook tragedy much has been written and said by those who seem to be pushing their own agendas for political or financial gain. Our government has exploited this heinous act by using it as an opportunistic pawn in their push for tighter gun control.
Sadly, the uncle of 6-year-old victim Noah Pozner, Washington state attorney Alexis Haller, has his agenda (read 4/20/13 front page of the New Haven Register). Our own state Rep. Dave Yaccarino and state Sen. Leonard Fasano have taken sides for gun control. Is it the popular thing to do? And.U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Connecticut, got on the bandwagon for campaign contributions.
More laws for tighter gun control will not deter those intent on criminal or evil acts. What it will do is limit the freedom of law-abiding citizens. Connecticut and the world will not forget the families of Newtown nor their beloved children. However, when will the families be allowed to grieve in peace privately?
