Letters: Defending amendment

To those politicians eroding and clipping away at our founding fathers’ Constitutional 2nd Amendment Rights:

Are you proposing taking guns away from criminal and cartel organizations who have taken over our southern Border, or just law-abiding Americans?

We keep reading news and watching TV media reports of overt human smuggling, homicides, sexual crimes, Fentanyl trafficking, asylum-seeking violations, family-condoned unaccompanied children and abusive disregard for immigration law. Isn’t this a tyrannical and invasive country takeover?

Do you want the American people to become unarmed sitting ducks caving in to personal, socialist, self-serving, political greed? All this while criminal organizations freely maintain their gun rights?

Taking away our 2nd Amendment rights constitutes killing America’s democracy and freedom. It is tantamount to overthrowing our 246-year-old system of a free and sovereign government.

Gun removal from law-abiding citizens is what communists love to do, before the overthrow of a free sovereign government, ask Cubans and Venezuelans.

Governor

O’Rourke

People of Texas, can you say Democratic Gov. Beto O’Rourke? If not, you had better learn how, because Texas’ current corrupt, incompetent, incumbent Gov. Greg Abbott is a political dead man walking!

Greg Abbott must hate children.

Don’t cry for me, GOP, or for the regularly mass murdered in America whose innocent blood is dripping all over the hands of paid-off, pro-NRA Republican politicians who predominate in culturally backward, repressively right-wing regions of the U.S. from where Texas Taliban televangelist Trumptards broadcast their blasphemy and begging for money. Jesus does not approve!

“Thoughts and prayers”? Seriously? Do you greedy old GOP perverts actually think anyone believes you care at all after decades of American carnage at the hands and coffers of the Russian-funded NRA and the genocidal gun lobby? How sick and evil are you so-called “conservative Christian” gun fetishists?

Do everyone a favor, Republicans (including your own rapidly self-destructing, crackpot-controlled party of fools), and shut the hell up already! Or as deranged and demonic as many of you conservative cult members clearly are, just sit and spin, then go straight to Hell, y’all.

For those of you Americans (the majority) who demand change right now, feel free to donate to the cause of protecting your children from the predatory, genocidal gun industry and the NRA’s bought-and-paid-for fascist politicians by making a cautionary example out of Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott on Election Day, Nov. 8.

Writers

criticized

In the June 3 letters to the editor are printed two letters, from Jake Longoria and Imelda Coronado. They taut “America-loving people” and Biden not coming to the Valley.

I don’t know how they can even call themselves “patriots.” They blame one person for all the woes of this country. Maybe they need a lesson on government.

I read The Monitor daily. I actually stop and pick up a hard copy on my way to work. I enjoy the challenge of doing the crossword, Jumbles and Cryptoquip. Gets me away from all the chaos in the world for a few minutes. Maybe we all need to do this.
