I applaud the Day's stand in advocating for the children of New London along with the State Office of the Child Advocate's concern. But the view from the outfield for many of your readers is that you are not consistent in just reporting the news. I am talking about another report released by the State Office of the Child Advocate.

That would be their report on the Newtown shootings at Sandy Hook. The Newtown report revealed the tragic path of Adam Lanza and the long list of failed checks and balances that could have prevented the Newtown tragedy. It's an interesting read and has nothing to do with gun manufacturers manufactures and the upcoming civil litigation against them.

What then is its purpose? The answer would be the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and the right to carry firearms.

While I would agree that the First Amendment is our most cherished amendment, I have heard said the reason we have the Second amendment is just in case someone tries to remove the First Amendment. The First and Second Amendments are krypton to the socialist progressive leftist and their mainstream media allies.
