In the wake of the murders perpetrated by a Saudi Arabian aviation
student at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, many have called for even more
government control of who can purchase a firearm.
Florida’s Republican Governor, Ron DeSantis, should know better.
He claims that the firearm used in the murders was purchased through a “loophole”
in Federal law and he wants more stringent Federal regulations and controls.
DeSantis shows his extreme ignorance of both God-given rights
and of the Constitution by saying: "I’m a big supporter of the Second
Amendment, but the Second Amendment applies so that we, the American people,
can keep and bear arms . . . It does not apply to Saudi Arabians."
I’m not sure if DeSantis is being disingenuous or if he is
really that stupid. The right to keep and to bear arms is a pre-existing, God-given
right. It is a right that belongs to every man. The Second Amendment has
nothing to do with the granting of that right.
Read the Second Amendment: “A well
regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right
of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
The Second Amendment grants NO rights, it recognizes rights that
already exist. The amendment is an attempt to protect those rights from encroachment
by the American government. It really cannot honestly and intelligently be
understood in any other way.
Governor DeSantis is a graduate of the Harvard Law School and yet
hasn’t a clue as to the meaning of the Constitution or of the Bill of Rights. He
is not to be trusted, particularly when he pleads for even more infringements
upon your God-given rights.
Governments have no legitimate part in any transaction involving
the sale and purchase of firearms (or any other property or commodity for that
matter). Anyone should be able to walk into a department store or a hardware
store, and buy any firearm weapon with no paperwork and with no questions being
asked. It’s called “freedom,” folks.
On the other hand, control of the borders is a legitimate responsibility
of government. The blame for the Pensacola shooting falls at the feet of the government
that not only allowed a national from a foreign government to be in this
country, but actually welcomed him as a student, training him to fly a military
aircraft.
Yes, I know that Saudi Arabia is supposed to be an ally. I also
know that 15 of the 19 men involved in the 9/11 murders were Saudi nationals. And
I know that this latest Saudi killer made posts to his Twitter account
specifically citing U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East as the reason for
his attack.
No, it is never the fault of an inanimate gun. It is the fault
of the individual who pulls the trigger. And in this case, it is also the fault
of the government that invited this murderer to our soil and incited his hatred
by involving the U.S. in affairs that are none of its business.
One final thought. It is almost beyond comprehension that this
same Amerikan government, that hires the military to be its armed strongmen
abroad, does not allow them to be armed and prepared to defend themselves within
the confines of an Amerikan military base. Does anyone remember Fort Hood and
the slaughter of unarmed servicemen that took place there over ten years ago? Has
the military learned nothing? Does it ever learn anything?
So once again I return to my frequent refrain: “Mamas, don’t let
your babies grow up to be Imperial Storm Troopers!”
