Dear Editor:
I really enjoyed Ron Gower's article in the Early Times dated Saturday, Dec. 22, 2012, What would Jesus say to shooter Adam Lanza if he ended up in heaven?"
You were right to say that no one really knows, but I think there are several factors involved.
One - Jesus loves children so much that He tells us in the Bible that we are to become childlike in order to enter the Kingdom of God.

Dear Editor:
I find it ironic that a state trooper would show up at a local council meeting and make a statement that if the council does not hire the three officers back full time, they may have the same problems as Hazleton. Hazleton has 37 full time officers and some part time.
Did I miss something? Most people in this area are on a fixed income and cannot afford the raises the unions are asking for. Some of the union members are not contributing toward their medical care. Most people in the area are, if they have it. Maybe it's time to appreciate what they have......

My accommodations to the Tamaqua Area School District administrators for contemplating allowing members of their faculty to carry firearms. This is how we protect our children, not by taking guns away from law abiding citizens!

Dear Editor:
I listened to Rush Limbaugh this morning and decided to tweet this to all the US citizens: "Don't let the Government trample with the Bill of Rights!" No executive order can change the right to bear arms. Only by ratification by Congress in a majority of votes
Read Wikipedia on 2nd amendment.. President Obama must not issue Executive orders to ban guns. The right to bear arms is guaranteed by the 2nd amendement.

Dear Editor:
All I hear is they want our gun and our ammo.
As far as I'm concerned that's as wrong as can be.
I don't care if you own a gun.
My problem is assault weapons and large clips of ammo. I don't care if you defend yourself or hunt, I think that's great. But let's face it, you don't need clips of 50 or 100 bullets on a semi automatic or a fully automatic weapon.

Dear Editor:
You know time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware at the passing years. But here it is the winter of our lives and it catches us by surprise. I remember well seeing my parents age and older people going through the years thinking those folks were years away from me. And that winter of my life was far away. I could not imagine what it would be like. And now as I enter the winter season of my life trying to prepare for the aches and pains, I wish I had done things that I've never done.

Pennsylvania's drug-induced deaths rank higher than the national average. In fact, a few years ago, more than 1,800 residents of Pennsylvania died as a direct consequence of drug use, compared to the number of Pennsylvanians who died from motor vehicle accidents (1,604) and firearms (1,325) in that same year.
