for U.S. Congress

When second-grader Myles Nelson came up with his unique way to make the world safer by using chocolate bullets instead of real ones, he decided he needed to share it with people in a position to do something about it.

Little did the 7-year-old know that his handwritten letter would be answered by a handwritten response from Vice President Joe Biden.

“I am sorry it took me so very long to respond to your letter,’’ Biden wrote in a letter that arrived at Nelson's school in Milwaukee on Monday. “I really like your idea. If we had guns that shot chocolate, not only would our country be safer, it would be happier. People love chocolate. You are a good boy."
