Response to letter on recent shootings
I really thought long and hard about a response to Mr. Fortenberry’s letter, but I could not let it go without a response. To blame President Trump and the NRA for the shootings this past week is as crazy as blaming the Jews for the Holocaust. It was a really an irresponsible statement. What has the NRA got to do with it? Oh! I got it! You are against my Second Amendment right to bear arms. You want only the criminals to have them. What about the killing of babies? I guess you are for that too. What about open boarders? Yep, that’s a Democratic taking point. I’m not a card-carrying Republican, but God bless President Trump and shame on you.
God Bless America!
