"First Selectwoman Joyce Okonuk has paid attention to the recent rise. "It's a steady rise in the past two years," Okonuk said. "So it's gotten even more extreme at this point.""
""I don't have any concerns about that in our community," Okonuk said. "It wouldn't even enter my mind to worry about more guns, more crime. It's just not typical here.""
"The number of guns versus residents in Lebanon still troubles Okonuk. She said that the town is more meticulous in how they approve the gun applications."
The above quotes from the article by the selectwoman do not make sense at all. On the one hand, she states that the "...steady rise" (in guns)...has "gotten more extreme." Then she states that she is not concerned about "more guns, more crime"...as "It's just not typical here." Finally, it states that the "...number of guns versus residents...still troubles Okonuk." If the above statements are not a definition of a contradiction, in terms, then nothing is!
