LETTERS: RENO'S HEAVY HAND

To the editor:

Janet Reno, with her own personal 50,000-member police force? That is what Renos new crime bill is establishing. Reno has already proven she has a gestapo mentality. Remember Waco.

This crime bill isnt a bona fide bill designed to fight crime. For instance, the much-touted three strikes and youre out provision only applies to federal crimes. As a crime bill, it is a farce.

This bill is really designed to further the setting up of a police state. It provides a ban on guns that will affect law-abiding owners and be ignored by the criminals.

Are members of Congress being traitors to liberty and our Constitution because they want a terrorist police state? Or because they are personally too afraid of Janet Reno to say no? How about you.
