  2. Mailbag: Passing on story of more kindness

    I was touched when I read the letter from Huntington Beach resident Carolyn Crockett regarding the kindness she has been shown in local venues around our town ("Thanks to you all for being there," Jan. 17). It inspired me to share my own similar...

  3. Commentary: Take guns from the hands of shooters

    Re. "Commentary: It's time to arm school personnel," (Jan. 9): Chuck Cassity has the gun issue about as upside-down as a person can. To begin, he cites "the hysterical pleadings from the gun-haters." The only hysteria I've heard is from his side of the...

  4. Crime & Punishment: Video of New Milford Police Officer Screaming at Pepsi Truck Driver and Calling Him "Asshole"

    <strong>Gabrielle Giffords, the one-time Democratic congresswoman</strong> from Arizona who was critically injured in a shooting, privately met with families who lost loved ones in the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre. Not everyone was touched by the gesture. "Gabby Gifford [sic] stay out of my towns!!" wrote state Rep. DebraLee Hovey on her Facebook page, according to the Hartford Courant. Hovey, a Republican whose district includes a small bit of Newtown, said the visit must be political because two Democrats, Sen. Richard Blumenthal and Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman, were there but she hadn't been invited. "ALL political types KNOW it is courteous to let sitting Reps know when another political is in their District," Hovey added. Note that Newtown's Republican first selectwoman was at the gathering. We can't imagine why they didn't invite this one local official who has the decorum of a crazy cat lady. (Hovey later apologized and set her Facebook profile to private.)

  6. There's no safety in our vast numbers of guns

    In 2009, when I was trying to figure out why gun sales were so brisk, I visited a couple of gun shops in Riverside and Corona. Back then, part of the reason people were arming themselves, they told me, was that President Obama had recently taken office,...

  8. Was Gabby Giffords wrong to come to Newtown?

    Former Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords came to Newtown last week for a private meeting with family members of the victims of the Dec. 14 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Giffords was a victim of a mass shooting, too, on Jan. 8, 2011. Days after meeting with the families, she and her husband, former astronaut Mark Kelly, announced they were raising funds for a&nbsp; political action committee that would take on the National Rifle Association and "encourage elected officials to stand up for solutions to prevent gun violence and protect responsible gun ownership.&rdquo; A state representative from Newtown at first condemned the meeting, telling the former congresswoman to &ldquo;stay out of&rdquo; Newtown, but later issued an apology. Should Gabby Giffords have gone to Newtown? Did she politicize the trip? What&rsquo;s your view?

  9. What does the NRA say now?

    The rifle Adam Lanza used to kill 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School is a descendant of the military's M-16 rifle. The bullets it fires are not as large as those used in some other rifles, but the gun's high muzzle velocity makes it particularly powerful, and deadly. Mr. Lanza brought with him hundreds of bullets in 30-round magazines, which enabled him to shoot individual victims as many as 11 times. Authorities believe that, if the arrival of police on the scene had not prompted him to kill himself, Mr. Lanza would have continued his rampage. He certainly had the means to do it.

    Public attitudes toward guns -- and the views of some prominent Washington politicians -- are changing in the aftermath of the Newtown, Conn., elementary school massacre. But it’s too early to know how far the shifts may go, how long they might last...

  12. A Little-Known Connecticut Group Works to Oppose Gun-Control Legislation

    One of the odd coincidences of the Newtown tragedy is that the headquarters of one of the biggest anti-gun-control groups in the nation stands less than two miles from Sandy Hook Elementary School &mdash; almost close enough to hear the gunfire.
