Sound Off for June 17, 2016

Simple solution

Vote for Donald Trump and save our country.

Shortage of firepower

The shooting in Orlando was terrible. I don’t know what the gun laws are in Florida, but the worst thing about the shootings is that no one could shoot back.

49+1 lives lost is a small price to pay to guarantee insecure little men access to military style rifles without the bother of serving.

Learning and enjoyment

The Springer Theatre summer program is wonderful. My niece loves every minute of it! They pour confidence, laughter, fun, stage skills and life skills into every participant. A great way to teach and learn.

Obama has failed to keep America safe from terroristic attacks inspired by radical Islam. Do you really think Hillary will do any better?

One down ...

Hubbard is going to jail. Now it’s Bentley’s turn.
