Steven Metzler: No stop to gun violence
Regarding the Jan. 6 news article “Obama: ‘We can’t accept this carnage’ ”: President Obama’s tearful performance does little to stop gun violence.
In fact, his new policy requiring all gun sellers to register as gun dealers reverses a 1994 requirement for who can obtain a Federal Firearm License that was a Bill Clinton “accomplishment.”
No mention was made about the thousands of stolen, smuggled guns and ammunition that are readily available to criminals, gangs and terrorists.
Encourage “stop and frisk” to get illegal guns off the streets and start supporting the police.
