I can't even remember who said this but it always stuck:
"Telling someone they're about to step on a landmine isn't a threat. It's simply good manners."
Still, while I'm appreciative of the very affirming nature of the reaction to the letter, I hope to see at least an equal amount of focus amongst those venues on the specific recommendations made - because it is a communication that also furthers a dialogue IF the other party is truly willing to have one - containing another side of what an actual conversation would be. As Clint Eastwood said to the chair, "No, you shut up for now, it's my turn to talk."
If not, then the last thing they hear under their foot may be 'click'...

You owe me a keyboard.
Your country owes you more than we could ever repay.
But if the country sends you a keyboard, I've got dibs.

Just to add to the 2nd Amendment debate:
December 29, 2013 marks the 123nd Anniversary of Wounded Knee!
Wounded Knee is the just another example of why the Second Amendment exists, and why we shouldn't be in such a hurry to surrender our Right to Bear Arms.

This reminds me of a letter in an Idaho newspaper by Dennis Edelbrock. The letter is titled, Guns: Heed history's lessons. Have you read it?
One of my brothers that lives in Idaho scanned the article (or someone he knows did) and forwarded. I've attached the pdf.

Poor guy, he was probably just abused as a child. She should have just tried to talk it through with him. A hug really helps in a situation like this.
