It’s time to put a leash on liberals

The shooting at a Republican baseball practice last Wednesday in Virginia will surely be reason for people on the left to call for more gun control. This time I will agree with them. Added to the list of those not allowed to possess a firearm should be liberals. Liberals are the group responsible for recent riots, looting, arson, and shootings: they need to be controlled.

If it weren’t for liberals in Congress, in courtrooms, and scattered throughout the government, President Donald Trump would be well on the way to getting America back on track. They are cutting off their noses to spite their faces, as the saying goes. It’s time to put a leash on them.

Incarcerate Hillary in 2017.

Jim Bonnevier, Belleville
