Navy Yard Shooting: Another Attempt On Our Second AmendmentBrandon T. Ward Nor is she concerned about life. I see nothing from her actions to stop the United States from funding foreign terrorists in sovereign lands entering Syria. Nor do I see the United States stopping their murder campaign in other sovereign nations of the world. Where is the concern for endless loss of life there Dianne? In addition to taking our firearms, she would also like to silence people like myself. Dianne would continue to try to demonize firearms in her statement by saying, There are reports the killer was armed with an AR-15, a shotgun and a semiautomatic pistol when he stormed an American military installation in the nations capital and took at least 12 innocent lives. DailyCaller Speaking of government. Why is it that a whack job is able to kill so many on a military installation? Among President Clintons first acts upon taking office in 1993 was to disarm U.S. soldiers on military bases. In March 1993, the Army imposed regulations forbidding military personnel from carrying their personal firearms and making it almost impossible for commanders to issue firearms to soldiers in the U.S. for personal protection. For the most part, only military police regularly carry firearms on base, and their presence is stretched thin by high demand for MPs in war zones. Because of Mr. Clinton, terrorists would face more return fire if they attacked a Texas Wal-Mart than the gunman faced at Fort Hood, home of the heavily armed and feared 1st Cavalry Division. Washington Post Another oddity is the bogeyman, better known as Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, purportedly calling for attacks on the United States last week. In one breath the United States explains how much Al Qaeda would like to cut our head off. In the next they send our tax dollars to them in order to carry out destabilization efforts against the sovereign nation of Syria. Shouldnt we question that? Changing gears, an article from Bloomberg points out, In the 30 years through March, 78 public mass shootings occurred in the U.S. incidents in which four or more people were killed at random by a gunman murdering indiscriminately, according to a report issued that month by the Congressional Research Service. These crimes dont include gang-related killings or domestic disputes where a person slays relatives or other people linked to the murderer. The mass slaughters listed in the report caused the deaths of 547 people. Over the same three decades through 2012, thats less than a tenth of 1 percent of the 559,347 people the Federal Bureau of Investigation estimates were murdered in America. It is a very, very small percentage, said James Alan Fox, who teaches criminology at Bostons Northeastern University and co-authored a book about mass shootings called Extreme Killing, published in 2011. In the wake of shootings such as the one in Washington that claimed at least 13 lives, including the alleged shooter, our tendency is to go overboard and overreach in terms of trying to increase levels of security, Fox said. The fear is greater than the risk. Bloomberg The fact remains, these mass shootings are covered extensively to drive fear into the individual minds of the public. Keeping us in a constant state of fear and persuading us by the visual images from our TV to relinquish our right to bear arms. I think Rahm Emanuel said it best, You never a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that is its an opportunity to do things that you thought you could not do before.
