Is no tragedy too horrific not be exploited by progressives

To the editor,

After a heart breaking weekend in which I tried unsuccessfully to distance myself from the endless updates, revelations, pictures of grief and despair, I am morbid and depressed. This after two days of anger and impenitent rage. Twenty seven killed by another nut job and whats the big issue? Are the leaders in Washington asking why, what is causing these repeated attacks on our school children? Heck no, no indeed it's all GUN CONTROL.

Is there no disaster, no tragedy too horrific and too heart breaking not to be exploited by progressives to advance their political agenda? Gun control, how about nut control? Now it's Asperger's Syndrome were told, I guess the killer wasn't at fault, he was just nuts. If it wasn't that it would be some pathy, psycho, socio or what ever. I want to know why? Why so many, what causes it, how do we treat it, or eliminate it. Do we put all with suspect conditions away or can we stop it because stop it we must. And lets be realistic about this, it's an American social problem. We are not seeing this in other nations. It has zero to do with guns, if guns made nuts, Switzerland would have been depopulated decades ago.

We need Washington to look for the real answers and real solutions not issues to run on.
