Letter: Those in power enable slaughter

By James S. Roberts, Vancouver

Did you ever wonder why it is that some people are outraged that a woman gets an abortion, claiming that it is against God’s will, but then after a score of our youngsters are shot down in cold blood, they merely enrich the flower growers, candle makers and teddy bear makers with nice memorials and make pious statements that it is God’s will?

It seems to this old man nothing means more to the right-wing politicians than doing the bidding of their corporate masters, and if you can keep on fooling good religious people with their ridiculous rhetoric, you will continue to see more of our children butchered.

I am devastated that our schools are being turned into slaughterhouses by people being aided by those in and seeking power who oppose responsible gun laws. If not reasonable gun laws and the enforcement of them, maybe it will come a time when certain guns are just outlawed like the Australians did.
