ovrtaxt - this not to you personally, I’m new to posting here and apologize in advance if it seems like I jumped all over you.

What’s missing here in Newt’s selective “outrage” is this:

A) “Government” cannot “protect” anyone. YOU MUST DO IT YOURSELF at the EXACT instant and moment of crisis. When SECONDS count, the police (as reps of government, etc.,) are MINUTES away (or as in the case of New Orleans, conspicuously absent). And quite frankly, if a person is not willing to take the time and effort to LEARN how to protect themselves, how can they reasonably expect someone else to risk THEIR life to protect them? A few hours of training with a firearm, the most expediant self-defense device ever created, is all it takes. My children are all expert marksmen with both handgun and rifle; I TAUGHT them that way since they were little so that they could protect themselves if the need ever arose.

B) New Jersey disarms its citizens, err, subjects with ridiculously strict gun control laws. Strict gun control laws disarm only law-abiding people, but not the criminal scumbags that did this (obviously - 3 dead kids prove it). Yet, NO ONE BRINGS THIS UP. The media darlings cry “We have to do THIS, and THAT...too easy to get guns, blah blah blah” But hey, don’t DARE bring up the fact that these people are disallowed by law to carry firearms for personal defense. In democrat-controlled NJ (as in other Dem-controlled states) it is very, very diffcult to get a concealed carry license, but not for a criminal to get a gun. These people were MURDERED by the STATE as much as by the scumbag illegal. Or at the very least, the state made it easier for them to be murdered. Think I’m too harsh? Ask those three kids.

C) A person carrying a firearm (as in the RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS) has at least a fighting chance to defend him/herself; these people were slaughtered LIKE SHEEP. We were NOT born to be sheep. “Government” intends to make us that way. They violate your RIGHT, breaking the law, and nothing is said about it. Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness - it means NOTHING if you can’t defend it.

D) Illegal alien argument notwithstanding - it makes no difference. Would it have mattered if the dirtbag was born and raised here and did the same things? No. Those kids would still be dead because they weren’t taught to defend themselves properly - it starts at home.

They were probably taught “Conflict Resolution” - give the guy what he wants and he’ll go away (to rape/rob/assault/execute someone else). Forget your duty, obligation, and responsibility as a CITIZEN to PREVENT this dirtbag from harming someone else. No, just give him what he wants and it’ll be all right. Kneel down? Sure...why not? Yes sir, don’t worry, I won’t bleed on you.

Pathetic...I am SO disgusted and outraged with this whole episode. And here’s one more big government type, Newt, standing up there saying government has to do more to protect us..

Self-defense is THE MOST BASIC HUMAN RIGHT. Did he mention ANYWHERE about making it easier for law-abiding citizens to exercise their RIGHT to self-defense?

Nope. Not part of the agenda.

I weep for my Country.
