States of emergency
Editor:
I may never visit the U.S. again.
After so many school shootings, in an attempt to make schools safer they are now putting armed guards in elementary and secondary schools and colleges, and those schools that can’t afford armed guards are arming teachers.
What’s next? Armed guards and civilians in every shopping mall? Every stadium? Every hockey arena? Everywhere? That seems to be the NRA’s dream.
And what will happen when another heavily-armed person with mental-health issues goes berserk in a public place? How many innocent people will be injured and killed by stray bullets from all those guns?
I don’t want to be one of them.
