As usual, the media has their own agenda about firearms.

The cartoon of Jan. 28 is as biased an illustration of that as I have seen in a long, long time. Shame on you!

Lots of things kill besides assault weapons. According to the CDC, guns are not the second-leading cause of deaths for "kids" (1- to 15-year-olds), unless you count the 16- to 19-year-old gangbangers (what is a "kid"?) and hate groups, and guns are not synonymous unless you are talking about the religious zealots of today.

I would hope that everything kids need to know is NOT learned in today's kindergarten. What a narrow education that would be.
