Taking away guns won’t solve our crimes

To the Editor: 

After reading a recent article in the Times- Enterprise, the person who wrote it seems to think that taking away all our guns will solve most of our crimes.

My guns are very easy to get, one is right beside our bed, and not any of them have harmed us. But, I will admit that in the hands of the wrong person the result could be devastating. 

To take away guns from law-abiding citizens would not solve anything. Only gang members, terrorists, and drug addicts would own guns. 

If the Biden Administration really wanted to eliminate our crime, which is raging in many large cities across our Nation, they would stop the illegalities from coming across our southern border. Many come with drugs that are deadly to many Americans. More people die from drugs than from guns. 

I pray that our nation can still recover from the man bad decisions that the Biden Administration has made while in office. May God continue to guard, protect and bless the United States of America in spite of their poor leadership.
