Letter: Why is Trump making gun violence even worse?

Why is Trump making gun
violence even worse?

Enough is enough. It’s time for gun regulations to change across America.

As a father and a devoted Christian, it literally breaks my heart to see so many people massacred across our country on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis and to continue to read on the internet and in the local newspapers that it just continues to go on and on with no end in sight.

Why is President Trump, the Senate and the House of Representatives turning a blind eye to this massive problem? Are they not aware that approximately 33,000 people die from firearms each year across our nation on a continuous basis?

In my opinion, this problem can be classified as a national health crisis. President Trump signed an executive order to make it easier for mentally ill people to purchase guns in February 2017. Why is he making the gun violence even worse?
