Why Are Politicians So Stupid?

I don’t know. Maybe it’s something in the air that only affects politicians. Unfortunately, it affects people like Michael Moore, too. People who want to make money on the STUPIDITY of certain people. It makes them think CRIMINALS, who break laws for a LIVING, would OBEY a law that says they can’t be armed. It causes those politicians to make laws that only disarm responsible and HONEST people and provide an unending stream of defenseless, UNARMED people for them to victimize. Their laws only apply to HONEST people, not to CRIMINALS, who don’t OBEY laws. They need to pass laws that give criminals stiffer sentences for USING a gun in the commission of a crime; laws that PREVENT cops from using those charges as “throwaways” to obtain a conviction in other crimes. They should be ADDED to the violent crime statutes in such a way that they CANNOT be discarded to obtain a conviction in other crimes. But if you suggest this to our INCOMPETENT politicians, they’ll laugh at you and continue on their INCOMPETENT ways, making laws to DISARM the populace. (Coloradoan)
