My apologies if I offended anyone with my ‘rant’ last week about mass shooters. I was simply trying to point out that children who are taught to play musical instruments usually find more acceptable ways to vent their anger – like banging on drums or playing screaming riffs on a guitar or banging on a piano. Apparently I worded it so that I was misunderstood. I truly did not mean to make light of the senseless tragedies of mass shootings. I was only looking for a solution.
