Shootings of Children
How many more times must we read about 11-year-old boys and 4-year-old girls shot in the cross-fire (Metro, April 24)?
There are no rights or freedoms worth the wounding and murder of our children. The guns must go. If it takes sweeps by the police, search warrants be damned, then that’s what it takes.
We just can’t have innocent children shot and killed because of some so-called right to bear arms. Children have civil rights, too. And there’s nothing civil about a society that lets street hoodlums spray gunfire and kill or injure innocent kids.
