Today the topic on everyone's lips is gun control. In my mind, this is classic misdirection. Our government at all levels is failing the people! Americans are paying more & more for taxes/fees and getting less & less for our money. + Government has cut funding for mental health treatment facilities & allowed health care across our country to sky rocket out-of-control. Families can not afford to commit patients for mental health issues due to cost. + Government has allowed the medical community and drug companies to prescribe additive drugs to our children instead of the traditional discipline & teaching self control. Government has turned proper parenting into child abuse. + Government has cut funding for crime prevention over & over again while crime continues to climb. The courts allow criminals to repeat offenses again & again while giving the wealthy passes. Immigrants who commit crimes should be deported but are allowed to stay in our country indefinitely. + Courts continue to push law enforcement to be totally reactive and hamstring efforts to be pro-active against crime. + Government cut funding = Fewer law enforcement officers = longer response times & fewer criminals caught. + Government has created a economy which does not support the Middle Class & poor. + Government has not done enough to ensure the safety of it's citizens against crime/terrorism. Thus the average American does not feel safe in their homes, work or leisure activities. + Government is selectively applying the laws of the land as they see fit. Laws are passed & in place to ensure immigrants do not invade our country and wreak our economy, but the agencies charged with enforcement are instructed (Unlawfully) to disregard the law. + Government has allowed our prison system to become so overcrowded that criminals are being granted early release simply because there are too many. + Government is importing possible terrorist into America for the sake of political correctness. Who knew with over 11 million immigrants already in our country we NEEDED more? BUTTOM LINE: Government has created a situation where American's do not feel safe & secure in their own homes, but the blame is being directed at guns! In every mass shooting America has had in the past & in the future - guns are not to blame. Our politicians are! Stop importing terrorist into our country, properly fund our law enforcement agencies, stop preventing government agencies from doing their jobs, fund affordable health care facilities for the mentally ill, and fix our economy.
