Why gun control will never work! A failure in basic comphrehension.

Mr. President and Members of Congress,

There are four classes of people who live in this world:

1)      Law abiding, religious and honest citizens………….………….   98.00%

2)      Criminal minded low-life's out for a buck…………….…………     1.9%

3)      The mentally ill, most of whom who are harmless…..……….…    0.09%

4)      And a tiny fraction of very ill & unstable killers..…..............….    0.01%

And yet, sirs, an astonishing preponderance of the restrictive laws on the books today, squelch the life and liberty of the 98% just out of fear of that remaining 2%. Is that even sane? Even by your standards, Mr. President?

Outlawing guns or knives or explosives will not fix the problem. What will address the problem will be to tighten up the existing laws, encourage the police to actually enforce laws already on the books, cadge the criminals and take care of our mentally unstable population. I don’t think I can make this any clearer!

What distresses me the most is your individual and collective and continued intransigence and unwillingness to address any of these issues in a positive manner!

Member of Congress, your approval rating is so low because as a body you have been unable to show leadership skills in any of the great tasks put before you. Mr. President, I feel your higher approval rating is based largely on your ability to mix the truth with lies. You'll say whatever it takes to appease a public that still desperately wants to believe.

I do not see how, anything that is going on right now in Washington, will ever lead to repairing the torn fabric of this Republic. Mr. President. Members of Congress, you have failed to keep my trust and even worst than that, I believe you are failing the public to which you serve!
