Ramblings of a Springfieldian

     I wonder, for a moment, what this country is coming to? Sure we have all the crazies in the population centers decrying the need for weapons. Yes, lets start with this! I really hate to go political, but this needs to be brought to existence. For the past 3 decades and some change, Illinois has seen exactly why GUN CONTROL DOESN'T WORK! Chicago, for example, has the highest gun murder rate in the state of Illinois. It also has the strictest gun control laws in the state, (ie. NO GUNS IN THE CITY PROPER) yet, the city still boasts the highest murder rates period. Why is this? Is there something that I'm not understanding? Is there some reason that a city with strict gun laws has such a high homicide rate? The reason are, quite simply; 1. ONLY LAW ABIDING CITIZENS OBEY LAWS! A criminal doesn't give two shits about coming into a diner and shoot the fucking place up if no one can stop him/her from doing so. 2. CRIMINALS AND THOSE WHO ARE KILLING INNOCENTS HAVE ZERO VALUE FOR LIFE! As soon as this point soaks into your brain housing group, I'll continue. All of the previous school shootings, cry outs for attention, what have you, have all been very graphic and almost immediately, as a knee jerk reaction, there has been an outcry for MORE GUN CONTROL LAWS as if the laws currently on the books aren't enough. Newsflash for you who think this way, in regards to Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting MISTER LANZA HAD VIOLATED FOURTY-THREE STANDING LAWS IN HIS KILLING SPREE! It's not about having more laws to enforce, at the expense of those that had NOTHING TO DO WITH IT, it's about enforcing the laws currently on the books!
     Enough on the gun control issue right now. Let's now talk about the case of PFC (SGT for those of you paying attention) Bergdahl. I don't know how they do this in the Army, but in the Corps, if you went over the line with only some water and a knife when you were supposed to be on post, YOU ARE A DESERTER! Plain and simple, yes? Just why did the President think that trading 5 Taliban officials would go over so well for just one "POW" (I still say he deserted)? Sure, President Reagan negotiated for the release of hostages in Iran, however, that is where the similarities end. President Reagan negotiated for over 200 Americans that didn't leave their posts, not just 1. And Reagan made the negotiations BEFORE BEING SWORN IN AS PRESIDENT! If this President had a watchdog media like Nixon and Bush Jr had, right after he announced that he had gone around Congress (AGAIN) Capitol Police would have been there to arrest him for Treason and Sedition.
     Now on to the illegal issues. YOU DON'T GIVE 12 MILLION ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS A CHANCE FOR CITIZENSHIP AND JOBS WHEN YOU HAVE OVER 12 MILLION AMERICANS WITHOUT JOBS!! We now see where this President's view is located. THE ABSOLUTE DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA AS A WORLD POWER! Considering that the Commander-in-Chief has dual-citizenship (British American) just why is he the President?
