Dear Congressman Lance, The recent tragedy has left me,as well as all the world so very sad. The beautiful lives of the 20 children and adults is heart breaking. I am only one woman (85 years old and a 60-year Springfield resident) and I would hope thatyou being a very important Congressman could use your voice on gun control. I grew up in a better time, I could play outside and never be scared, and the only gun I ever saw was on a policeman.
