Jim Torrie's letter confused me. Fettkether's thinking is flawed. The basis of the argument is that drunk youths reach for cell phones and get shot by police because they thought the youth was pulling a gun. You're not only endangering yourself, but the police and every other citizen. I would be willing to wager more people die from morons driving drunk than police officers shooting drunken youths because they are reaching for cell phones.
Guns are good if in the possession of careful, trained people.
Clearly, the parents of Seth Trickey do not qualify. My father has had guns for as long as I can remember. I urge all of you, if you ever purchase a gun, make sure you lock it up. I don't think you want to feel responsible for someone dying because you lacked the forethought of locking it up. The Daily does not want kids to kill other kids.
