Last week Miami Township Trustee Ken Tracy made a few foolish statements in an Enquirer op-ed asking the rhetorical question "Do guns belong in Parks?" and played the "For the Children" card in a single editorial more times than most cards appear in a single deck.

Sunday the Enquirer printed numerous responses from insulted gun owners and a single anti-gun complaint. Some of the choice responses include:
"While Tracy may not as of yet heard from the gun-owning residents of Miami Township, I believe he will, and the question will not be "Can I keep my gun?" but rather "Can I have my vote back?" Now that's obvious"

"All I can say to the writer is that guns don't belong in parks anymore than baseball bats do. Both are inanimate objects, with no free will, which can do nothing until acted upon by an individual. Both can be used to inflict serious bodily injury. Both can be used for self-defense. It all depends on the person who is using them."
Will Ken Tracy repent, stand behind his statements, or imply he meant something other than what he wrote?
