Take a stand on guns you say??

I just read a Letter to the Editor and once again find myself baffled by the lack of due-diligence made by those with such a strong opinion.

Dear Mr. or Mrs. J. Moore
It is very intriguing to understand where the majority of your opinion lies as it seems to come straight out of the mouths of the media and lacking any in depth details to truth. I'd say that it is our best interest and our social responsibility to know truth, seek the truth and speak it.
It seems you would prefer to lay the blame of a firearms issue on a single politician and those before him and a group everyone labels as hateful, so I have some fun facts for you to clear the misunderstanding you carry as ill-guided fact.
- The president does not have all the power.
The right to bare arms in America is a fundamental right under the Second Amendment and any government who tries to impeded will face serious backlash from the public on a violation of their unalienable rights. Every individual has to right to protection, free from future government tyranny and the right to defend others.
- There is no such thing as automatic weapons in America or Canada. Only the military can own auto. Semi-auto means pull the trigger once, you get one bullet. This is a serious lack of knowledge on your part and painting everything with the same CNN brush. AR does not stand for 'Automatic Rifle' but actually stands for Armalite Rifles, company that made them. An AR-15 shoots .223 caliber bullets.. that's 22 caliber family.
- There is approx. 13,000 homicides in America per year.
- Did you know the CDC reports up to 3million cases per year of private and public individuals protecting themselves and others? The right to bare arms goes far beyond just a few nut cases that have gone postal.
- Banning firearms in Brittan caused much higher knife crimes and acid attacks. The homicide rate has no decreased whatsoever.
- Australia's buy back program caused more guns to end up on the street and hidden from the government. They only bought back about 1/8th...mostly bolt action rifles used for varmint hunting
Your idea that a mass shooting is the only tragedy should be tossed in the garbage. There is a much bigger issue at hand. Of the 14% black population, taking most women and children out becomes roughly 6% of Americans cause near 50% of all crimes.
Gang life, drugs, mental illness and poor influences in the communities across America have caused such disarray that there seems to be no going back. Even though this is the opinion, it's not true either. There is hope for all those in need of help and the start is only a few opinions away, starting with community leaders and leading up to those in power. Pay more attention to the cries of people within the hardest hit regions and you'll find that guns are not the problem, people are.
The best solution for everyone's sake is to educate them on personal responsibility, accountability and doing no harm to others. Follow up by teaching about firearms safety but most of all, bring back the nuclear family and values that love one another beyond anything else so that those with such hatred in their hearts can find refuge for healing and managing their problems.
Stop blaming demagogue idiot politicians, otherwise they might just ban white mini-vans, or your free speech!
