I read the opinion column once in awhile. This letter from a high school sophomore really got to me. I'm not anyone that could put together a good response to this young lady, so I'm asking that someone here see if they could get a well written response published. I'm thinking @etrain16 could be the perfect person. I know there are others here that are very well written, but it's etrain that come to mind first for me. I wanted to get the age of a high school sophomore and asked alexa, (a cool little toy BTW). She didn't give me the age but defined "Sophomore". It cracked me up! It was something like this from "The Urban dictionary"
Urban Dictionary: sophomore
sophomore

2. The second level of instruction in both secondary and collegiate education.
1. His explanation was sophomoric (sic) and uninspired.
2. She is in her sophomore year in college.

Eight common sense gun laws: Letter to the editor
Her letter totally ignored the fact that the right to keep and bear arm in America is nothing like driving or hunting. Or, that not one of her first seven "Common Sense" gun laws would have prevented most of the school shooting we've had.
So is anyone up for this?
