Sure, guns take lives, but in the case of the Newtown, Conn., school shootings if school principals and counselors would have had gun permits and been allowed to carry guns on school property, 20 innocent children and six adult lives could have possibly been saved. Guns also save lives.

Phil Kabler also doesn't know the difference between coincidentally and ironically. He needs to go back to journalism school.

All the people wanting right-to-work need to apologize now for the future generations of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc. Low wages, no health care or retirement. All the money saved by the company will go to the CEO's salary.

To the privileged people who think they are too good to obey the law that instead of turning right from Lucado Road to U.S. 119, so they would rather hold up the law-obeying people so they can make an illegal left turn across two lanes of traffic and then wait for traffic to clear so they can proceed.

To the person who said that every state should be a right-to-work state, if that happens workers will get wages of $5 to $8 an hour.

Dick's Sporting Goods has just suspended sales of guns in all of its stores across the United States. I hope more stores and businesses follow this lead. We need to get rid of the guns in this country.

I guess because Garrison Avenue is not a part of South Hills or Kanawha City, the mayor or the street department is not going to repair the road. It is caving in about four or five areas. This needs addressed as soon as possible.

Little boys play with cap pistols. When they get older they play with BB guns. As adults they play with assault rifles. The only difference is the price of their toys.
