Your Opinion: Make America Safe Again

Dear Editor:

I’m glad to see Ms. Roam is reading the Bible. I just hope it is from an inner-leading from your soul and not just outer indoctrination. Bless you, Ms. Roam.

Now to my subject, mass shootings and gun violence. What are we going to do? This mass shooting stuff happens at least every few weeks. It should be top priority with government like many other things: health care, infrastructure, etc.

Republicans are banning abortion everywhere, for the babies’ sakes or for politics, who knows? No, I don’t like abortion either, so save your comments. If Republicans can do something about abortion, despite public opinion, why not semi-auto guns? Huh, why not?! I guess when a Democrat kills five or more Republican congressmen, then, maybe they might do something. Maybe we need an Aussie or New Zealander in the White House.

I wonder if Ms. Rome has ever fired an AK-47, AR-15, Mini-14 or a Glock pistol, etc.? I have. These guns fire as fast as you can pull the trigger, almost full-auto. That is why these mass shooters use them, they shoot fast!

It is a shame to have to ban a certain gun, sure. But what else do you do?

These shooters or most bought their guns (legally). They knew what they were doing, many or most did. You can’t blame everything on mental illness. Mental illness as someone said, exists worldwide. But the U.S. has most all of the mass shootings, because we have so many guns, and military guns.

What do we do? A mass shooting can happen anywhere. People didn’t think a tornado would hit Jefferson City either. But one did, and so can a mass shooting. They know no boundaries. Tell your Republicans to do something, now!

MASA! Make America Safe Again.
