RE: “New group brings post-Newtown dialogue to Vermont” [News, June 19]:
Gun laws won't stop tragedies like Newtown from happening again. And one will happen on Vermont soil someday. Just a random lightning strike - very rare, but still devastating.
Hopefully, when it does happen, Vermont will have allowed concealed-carry users in schools so they can act as a lightning rod and stop the destruction, instead of becoming a victim.
Violence isn't going away - Boston showed us that. We can accept it and hope that those who choose to be prepared are there to save those who aren't comfortable or can't be armed. Or we can pretend bad guys care about laws, remove all the good guys, and wait to watch our kids die again.
Ann Braden is a well-intentioned individual who will end up allowing many people to die if she gets her way.
