For the Suggestion Box

From the "Guns Cause Crime" file, comes this story out of Woburn, Massachusetts. I call upon our legislature to get to work and draft some common-sense anti-crime bills to prevent future tragedies like this one from befalling the most vulnerable of the Commonwealth's residents.

I have some handy suggestions listed below.

Elderly Woburn woman's home invaded

WOBURN --An 85-year-old Woburn woman...


Ban old people!

...was tied up...


Ban rope!

...and robbed at knifepoint...


Ban sharp, pointy objects!

...in her home...


Ban private residences!

...early this morning, according to broadcast reports.

WBZ Radio reported that the invaders, believed to be two white males...


Ban white males!

...cut the phone lines to the house and tied the woman up, then ransacked her home.


Ban wire cutters!

Think about it, if just ONE of these "common sense" safety measures had been in place, this horrific incident could have been prevented.

Won't somebody pleeeease think about the children?
