Reply #9: Most people work at jobs they don't love ... [View All]

I had a co-worker who had worked at a munitions factory. She had little or no interest in firearms. I asked her why she worked at such a dangerous job and she said, "Because I was a single mom with a child to bring up. It paid better than being a waitress at the local diner."

Factory jobs often attract people with little education. She moved on from that job to become an electronic technician and worked for a while as an engineering aid.

I understand your hatred of firearms but I'm sure many of the people who died were not "gun nuts" and were just working people trying to support a family in a small community.

Your lack of compassion disappoints me. This was not an explosion at a gun range.
