Gun Control



I am astonished on President Obama's lack of interest in maintaining the recent sensible gun control laws that we've had for decades. The most recent ruling to go into effect is one allowing for guns to be able to brought into the national parks. For me, this makes hiking on a trail through a national park more stressful than staying home.

We know that that the Mexican drug wars are, in part, being fueled by illegal guns bought in the United States. I think that we need the few
gun laws that are still on the books, especially at those gun shows. This seems to be one major source of fire power for drug dealers and other dangerous criminals.
