Soap Box

Kate Steinle was in the prime of life. She was 31 years old, she was beautiful, a family person and a productive citizen.

Juan Francisco Lopez Sanchez is an illegal alien who had seven prior felony convictions and had been deported five times, who was free as a bird to walk the streets of San Francisco, a self-declared "sanctuary city", pull out a gun and kill Kate Steinle for no other reason than being the sick, sorry piece of trash that he is who, by any stretch of justice, should have been in prison or back in Mexico.

Mr. President, this is a case where the right kind of gun control would have worked. If this scumbag had been where, by law, he should have been, the gun would never have gotten into his hand and Kate Steinle would still be alive.

The truth of the matter is that it was against the law for Sanchez to even be in this country much less have a gun in his possession, so would one or one hundred other laws have saved Kate Steinle's life?

The president and so many liberals see "gun control" as the ultimate answer to violent crime in America, or at least they claim to, I�ve got my own ideas about that.

Every civilized nation that has been taken over by a totalitarian government has first been universally disarmed.

And yet did anybody hear any noise from the White House about abolishing the real cause of this tragedy, the fact that a potential time bomb like Sanchez was protected by the city of San Francisco, or that he is an example of America's open border policy and that Obama's justice department will not allow law enforcement to jail or deport illegals?

Some of the highest murder rates in the nation are in cities with the most stringent gun laws.

The United Kingdom banned guns a long time ago, yet knife crime soared afterwards, when just a few short years ago there were reportedly 130,000 knife attacks in a single year.

There is a law against bringing illegal drugs into this country, yet narco thugs import tons of it every year.

The world banned chemical weapons decades ago, yet Saddam Hussein and Bashar al-Assad used them on their own people in the last few years.

Timothy McVeigh killed 168 people and injured 600 with a home made bomb in Oklahoma City.

Does any law actually deter bad people from carrying out their evil, will they not accomplish it in one way or another of they're determined to do so? 

The truth of the matter is, if you ban guns they'll use knives, if you ban knives they'll use baseball bats, if you ban baseball bats they'll use rocks or bare hands.

And while I am 100% for shutting down gun dealers who knowingly go around existing laws and allow guns to fall into the hands of black marketers and street thugs who sell them to anybody who has the price, knowing they will be used to settle vendettas and commit robberies,
and the smuggling of guns into to this country where they are purchased by radicals and anarchists, I know that, judging by past performances, any gun law Obama would pass would not deal with the real problem, but would do more to disarm law abiding citizens than it would to take the real trouble makers off the street.

I have been through a background check as has anybody else who buys a legal gun in my home state of Tennessee and most other states. Many times the information is there, it�s just that this politically correct, lawyer infested society we live in demands hands off until something catastrophic takes place and then place the blame on the gun, not the shooter.

We already have enough gun laws to paper the south wall of the Grand Canyon. Laws to control any imaginable situation, but the gun control crowd wants more, laws that will eliminate law abiding citizen's ability to protect their homes and families while actually strengthening the abilities of the lawless to wreak havoc on America.

And how about terrorists? Would they abide by Obama's utopian national no gun zone?

Obama wants to see this nation disarmed and he will go to any lengths at his disposal to make it happen, up to and including going behind America's back and approving an international treaty with the United Nations �signed by Secretary of State, John Kerry - which if Obama can buy, influence or threaten enough Senators to ratify, it would become the firearm regulations this nation would be required by international law to abide by.

When it comes to having his way, Obama can be a devious, conniving, secretive manipulator with an ego the size of Mount Rushmore, convinced that he - above all people - knows what's best for America and is determined to leave it a more subdued nation by the time his term is over.

I say read the Constitution you swore to defend, Mr. President, check out the 2nd Amendment, it trumps the United Nation every time.

What do you think?

Pray for our troops and the peace of Jerusalem.

God Bless America
