LETTER: Mixed signals

OK, so I am confused again! The president is speaking about gun violence and the terrible effects it is having and escalation surely to happen without immediate action! I get it ... BUT Obama has released killers, rapists, drug dealers and terrorists, and has OK’d gun deals with Mexican drug lords! So how can he preach against violence when he has contributed to increasing gun violence?

Reports show the criminals he has released are repeat offenders! Where is the support for law enforcement? Why do we not hear the true statistics on violence in this country? Perhaps the best action is to educate and train people how to protect themselves by proper gun handling, self-defense, work with law enforcement officials, etc.

Maybe we should stop so-called religious immigrants who clearly do not support the principles this country was built on! It is pure stupidity to allow anyone into this country behind freedom of religion when their religion is based on eliminating all other nonbelievers! U.S. citizens have rights to protection “against all threats foreign and domestic”!

Search the internet for news reports from other countries with “open arms” to Christian-hating immigrants to see what is coming to a city near you! Remember that people get fat due to being blind to over-eating! Alcoholics become alcoholics due to the effects of alcohol! Smokers get addicted to nicotine due to smoking cigarettes!

We are all warned against the effects of improper use of these substances, but say “it will not happen to me” or I can control it! STOP IMMIGRANTS with destructive religious beliefs from coming into this country. I bet Native Americans wish they could turn back history!
