You are wrong once again.
You said that the tragic events in Texas
And Las Vegas were not “gun situations”
But rather, were mental health problems
And that in Texas if there had been gun controls
Perhaps fewer people would have died
Mr. President
I know you a smart man,
The smartest man in the world
According to you
So please contemplate this fact:
According to the latest findings,
It is a gun situation
In fact, the reason the U.S.
Has so many gun deaths
Is because we have so many guns,
45% of the worlds guns in fact
And 33 percent of the world’s shooters
Are Americans killing other Americans
And most of them, the majority of them,
Are White People killing other people
Not murdering terrorists.
Most are in fact,Not murdering terrorists.
Out-of-control citizens.
So Mr. President
When will you come to your senses
And do what 90 percent of the public wants,
Enact nation wide effective gun controls?
And tell the NRA
they can take their blood money elsewhere
When, Mr. President
When will you act
When will you take charge
And become a President of the people
Instead of the President of the NRA?
