A Schaumburg letter to the editor: In his recent acceptance speech, the new mayor of Naperville said his first priority is 'to fund institutions that treated the mentally ill, the primary cause of the mass shootings in this country.'
In his recent acceptance speech, the new mayor of Naperville said his first priority is"to fund institutions that treated the mentally ill, the primary cause of the mass shootings in this country."
In his delivery, he avoided any mention assault rifles, now available by the millions, used in these killings. He also suggested we should focus our attention on those who have criminal records and a history of mental disturbance. Did he forget that most of them had no criminal history and that over 50% of the mentally ill never sought medical attention, remaining off-record of any institution that could benefit from the mayor's misleading counsel?
How long will we continue to listen to and elect those who equate the lives of innocent citizens with the money offered by those who support the Second Amendment, no holds barred? Millions of untreated mentally ill continue to walk the streets in broad daylight, with no scrutiny. The incoming mayor of Naperville directly implied it's not the guns but the insanity of its owner that gives them license to kill on impulse.
