To the editor:
I am in full accordance with the article recently printed in the Missourian declaring the enactment of our crime bill as being deceitful and unfair, and also, merely a gain for many of our congressmen whose main interest appears to be in stuffing their pockets.
Crime is increasing so rapidly that so far I have as yet to see any bill passed that has been to the advantage of the many kinds of crime prevailing today.
The Brady bill as an example is putting more guns in the hands of people, and even the result of more killings.
It is hard to please everyone, but it appears we are not gaining a thing by our recent law enactments. Instead only more resentment and opposition.
Someone's loss is always another one's gain.
