Forget, for a minute, the game of Where's Waldo the national candidates and their supporters are playing with the voters of the Delaware Valley. (Cool though that game is, really.)
The Times Herald and the AP documented a protracted incident at the high school next door to my home. The problems began, officials said, when a student at Norristown High School had a loaded gun at school. Details were sketchy, but it seems two teachers may get in trouble for wrestling with the kid near the locker where the gun was believed to have been stored. Not five miles down the road is another school district where a home-schooled kid was arrested on allegations he was planning a Columbine-style attack on the local high school.
Who's going to help our cities, suburbs and towns combat the deadly violence that sees American killing American in what we refer to at home as peacetime? Are guns part of the problem? Could they possibly be part of the solution? What about when those who are armed are minors?
