I had to stop reading the paper and respond when I saw Jeff Danziger's cartoon April 18. It is extremely callous, cynical and hurtful to use the imagery of dead, bloody children to express an opinion about a vote on gun control.
This is not a simple issue. No one involved in the debate admitted the new law could have prevented the shooting in Sandy Hook. How to best protect the citizens of the United States from violence is an issue that needs to be well thought through and respectfully debated on the merits of each proposal. Inflammatory cartoons add nothing to the discussion.
