Toby Hoover, executive director of the Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence, lamented the incongruity between rampant gun purchases and his sense of the holiday spirit: "I'm bothered by, especially at the holiday time, how many people think that these things ought to be holiday gifts, Christmas gifts for their families and their children. We're seeing more of that, which means it's becoming sort of an accepted thing. Firearms and weapons don't seem to go with holiday and peacefulness to me. I think we have a problem." [More]Yeah, Sarah. Stop upsetting Toby. What kind of creature would get her kid a gun as a gift, anyway?
