GIVE ME A BREAK

To the Editor:

Give me a break! I'm a 42-year-old mother of five children and we take our share of Claratin-D and Sudafed.  I can only buy two boxes at a time cause I might just go set up a meth lab? That third box might just be too much of a temptation.

Punish the lawbreakers, not the folks that need a little decongestant.  What will "they" outlaw next? Batteries? They use those to make meth too, ya know? And the thought of holding the store accountable for selling irresponsible? What if Wal-Mart sells steak knives to a steak knife killer? String 'em up!

If one desires to murder or cook up some meth one will find a way, even if all the guns and Sudafed are outlawed.  Yeah, there's a big meth problem, but this crazy solution is barking up the wrong lab, I mean tree.
