About the Book

"It Wasn't Supposed to Happen in Newtown, Connecticut"

(The Newtown, Connecticut, massacre was a powerful reminder of gun violence in America. This small town was cast as virginal, pure and not at all urban. How could such a thing happen there, and not in the urban (aka black/brown) parts of the country. My comments expressed my frustration with the lack of meaningful action on stopping the glut of guns in our communities, and also to recognize the subtle nature of the argument about guns.)

Gospel recording artist and composer Walter Hawkins penned a tune which begins with, "Tragedies are commonplace. All kinds of diseases, people are slipping away." Well, tragedies were not to befall Newtown...maybe Chicago, surely the Bronx, or perhaps South Central Los Angeles. After all, Newtown wasn't urban. Newtown had good, law-abiding citizens who took responsibility for themselves. They were the 53 percent. They were makers and not takers, living out the American dream in an idyllic setting--calm, orderly, green, pastoral, and utterly and sublimely devoid of the crime and grime associated with the hustle and bustle of the big city. Newtown was the town of our dreams--a veritable Norman Rockwell painting. Nothing bad was ever supposed to happen in Newtown. Evil was incomprehensible. Mental disease was unfathomable. Violence was alien. Guns were a source of sport/recreation and protection. Newtown was a dream. And just like dreams, the condition was temporary and fleeting. Newtown has been revealed to be the emblem of America--just as fragile, gritty, complex and wounded as are many in American society today. While the right-wing NRA and gun enthusiasts quickly assign blame to left leaning American citizens, and attempt to re-message its purpose, and while the left rails about the access, availability, and the sheer number of guns and gun paraphernalia, Newtown has lost its innocence and its innocents. Newtown is a metaphor for what's happening to America. How many guns are ENOUGH guns? How much violence is ACCEPTABLE to the body politic? How many citizens are ENOUGH citizens to die at the hands of mentally deranged persons? How much of our revered Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms will be abridged by sensible and common sense gun policies? My heart aches and breaks for the families of the slaughtered in Newtown. It wasn't supposed to happen in THAT part of America. Face it, folks. It wasn't supposed to happen IN ANY PART OF AMERICA. These tragedies should not be commonplace. Think about it.
