Editor, Commonwealth:
The repeated epidemic of evil people killing our children must be stopped.
It seems this all started when God was expelled from our schools. Therefore, the government must step in and save us.
First, laws must be passed. I would suggest that we should pass a law forbidding criminals possessing guns, knives, explosives and pressure cookers. Mentally unstable people should be under lockup.
Also, the FBI and police need to be taught how to investigate and interrogate people turned in as possibly violent people. They may need to bring back waterboarding and torture to get confessions from evasive suspects.
School principals who don’t have safe, secure schools should be fired. The principal in Florida had obtained two security guards and only one had a gun, and he was not at the school that day. The other one, the coach, threw himself between the gunner and two students. He saved two students by taking eight bullets and giving his life.
No doubt the principal should be fired since it was obvious that he had neglected to obtain enough armed security personnel to protect the children. I wonder if he had posted at each door of the school the “GUN FREE ZONE” poster. Think how many lives he could have saved by doing this!
We must act. I’m sure the Democrats would jump to promote these rules now that I’ve informed them.
John Hey, M.D.

Editor’s note: This letter was submitted before Florida officials announced that the armed officer on duty at the school in Parkland was actually on the premises for most of the shooting but failed to go inside to confront the shooter.
