LETTER: Legislators need to worry more about reality than panaceas

SB-5062, another fraud against law-abiding citizens, will stringently restrict and prohibit all future sale of large capacity firearm magazine use for all individuals except “any government officer, agent, employee …”

Do legislators value professional perspectives from policemen, individuals working for our safety?

In PoliceOne’s 2013 survey of 15,000 police officers, 95 percent thought prohibiting production and sale of large capacity magazines wouldn’t reduce violent crime.

Seventy-one percent said a federal manufacture, sale and ban of some semi-automatics labeled assault rifles won’t lessen violent crime.

Among eight choices, the highest percentage choice, 38 percent, thought parenting and family values decline caused gun violence.

What’s a politically incorrect, truthful, fundamental cause of gun violence?

Democrats incentivize women’s welfare state reliance, undermine personal responsibility, demoralize men’s fatherhood and provider role, and cause family instability.

Black conservative leaders provide overwhelming evidence of the consequences of the devastating war on poverty.

In a Prager University video, Larry Elder states fatherless children “are five times more likely to commit crime and 20 times more likely to end up in prison.”

Fatherless youth comprise 63 percent of youth suicides and 75 percent of substance abusers.

A 2016 analysis found fatherless men or youth from dysfunctional homes have committed 82 percent of 56 school shootings.

Why attack law-abiding citizens?

Democrat issues are never the issues.

Democrats perpetuate fantasy and promote victimhood constituencies for support, power and control.

When Democrat charlatans concede to reality instead of deceiving with panaceas, we might begin to address our nation’s violent cultural decay.
