Federal Officials Meet With Sikh Leaders

The Sikh community and other faith-based groups raised questions about issues ranging from gun control to immigration laws.

 

An Obama administration official was in Oak Creek Monday for a series of meetings with Sikh community leaders, other faith-based groups, students and more, according to a Journal Sentinel report.

Thomas Perez, U.S. assistant attorney for civil rights, and other federal officials heard concerns and questions about a variety of issues, including gun control, racial disparities in incarceration rates, hate crimes and immigration laws, according to the report.

The meetings came a little less than four months after white supremacist Wade Michael Page entered the Oak Creek Sikh temple and killed six members and wounded four others.

Why do we always jump on the NEED for more Gun Control Legislation? It amazes me that with all the current legislation on the books, those who choose to cause harm to another individual could care less about laws period!!! Its a shame and a tragedy what took place at the Sikh Temple but lets face it Mr Wayde was hell bent in causing hard to that particular group of people. All the laws in the world would not have prevented his rampage!!
But as usual this administration can not let a crisis go to waste!! Just like Mr Costos and the NFL jumping on the guns are bad ban wagon!!
Facts are facts guns do not kill people, people kill people. To think that violent crime will not take place just because we have stricter gun control legislation, which by the way only causes greif for the law abiding citizen who chooses to excersise his 2nd amendment right is such a joke!!!!
