And as for being "reminded of this issue over and over on Christmas Day when the title of this thread keeps popping up everytime we hit the 'New Posts' button"......' I think many of us have on our minds the 26 families, neighbors, friends, clergy, police etc. in Newtown whose Christmas has been completely devastated by the horrible events at the school. They are the ones whose Christmas has been ruined, and proposals to change the constitution to help them.....well, that's a big question and people have chimed in with their opinions.

Did you read what I said in my post in it's entirety, or did you just selectively read then fill in your own meanings and interpretations?

First of all, I said nothing about "reading the posts," but rather "reading the title" which I can't avoid if I'm to enjoy this forum like you do. I also said nothing about what happened in Newtown, even though I do feel for them and their "Christmas being ruined." But Newtown is not the issue or subject of my comments, nor were they mean't to be. It's the constitutional gun control issue and ONLY that issue I am speaking of, which has been a hot political issue for a long time. I have mixed feeling about that subject, but IMHO I felt that Christmas Day was an inappropriate and inconsiderate time for THAT discussion to commence, and even more because we have been warned about engaging in political comments or referencing!

Now if you want to continue with this, that's your choice. But don't expect me to waste time continuing with it!
