Dear System,

A young man with a history of mental illness should not be able to walk into a gun shop and purchase guns and ammunition that he later goes on to use to shoot up a college lecture hall. Public safety trumps privacy on this one. Why are background investigations for potential gun purchasers not more stringent?

Dear Westboro Baptist Church,

You call yourselves a church, yet you take the Word of God and use it to justify your twisted, incorrect arguments. Please stay far, far away from the funerals of the Northern students that will be occurring in the CHicago area over the next few days. I'd like to go to the one that's scheduled at my church, personally escort you far off the property and make sure you don't come back, but that's not an option. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God --- do you really want to do this to Him?
