There are some serious questions that need to be asked about what is happeneing in the United States.
One of them IS NOT about further restrictions on firearms for law abiding citizens. Quite frankly, the best solution to criminals of any type (be they individuals, or radicalized groups) is NOT TO DISARM THE PEOPLE. Rather it is to have as many law abiding, honest citizens armed as possible.
In that scenario, if two or three people walk into a crowded conference room of fifty, with the intent to kill, as soon as the peope in the conferernce room see it ebgin to happen, then ten or more people immediately return fire and elminate the threat...then ensure that the perpetrators bodies are not near their firearms, layt down their own weapons, and wait for police to arrive.
A Serious Questions Every American Should Ask:
No, the actual questions we shouldbe asking are these. As regards these mass shootings...
1. Why is it from 2002 to 2007 did we experience something like 57 total incidents, but from 2008 to 2013 the number went to 118? Why has that trend continued upwards since?Let me try and answer.
What happened during these time periods in the United States that was different? One critical thing that happened is that we had a new President elected in 2008 who promised to fundamentally change America, Barack Obama.
He has been the most devisive President in living memory and probably in at least 125 years if not more. He constantly weighs in on local crime, particularly involving any minority, and asserts things, usaullly against law enforcement, that are simply later proven to be false.
But his involvement serves to agitiate and legitimize the false natrratives against law enforcement and in support of agendas by minorities to commit acts of civil untrest that invariably have violent acts embedded within them. This is exactly what occurred in Ferguson, Missouri. The involvemt of the President thus serves to institute part of the fundamental change he has promised...and I do not believe it is accidental.
Obama's Fundamental Change:
Second, when it comes to Isalmic fundamentalists, this President himselfindicated that should public opinion turn against Islam, that he would stand on the side if Islam. Why is that? Why make such a blanket statement? It is clear from his actions in the Mid East, to his statements about refugees that this President sympathises with those of Islamic persuassion...and apparently irresepctive of their underlying aims. This serves to encourage those who would bring their radicalization to these shores, and particularly who want to implement Sharia Law, which is wholly incompataible with the US COnstitution, in this nation.
This is more of Obama's fundamental change.
His recent inistance that the United States take somewhere between 10,000 and 200,000 Syrian Muslim reuhgees. He does this despite knowing that ISIS is infiltrating those refugees and promises to bring their radical JIhad to western nations. we have now seen proof positive of this in Paris. Current estimates put the ISIS sympathizers in the ranks of the refugees at somewhere arounf 13%. Despite this, and his own leaders of the FBI and Homeland Security saying that we cannot vet these refugees adequately, Obama's insistance that we accept such abject danger to our cizens is further proof of this President's culpability in these matters.
Finally, we should remember that this President, through the BATF and FBI and his appointees to those organizations, sought to sell and traffic illegal weapons to drug trafficers in Mexico so that they would then use those weapons in crime in the United States so that they could then further regulate gun ownership in America. Do your reserach on, the "Fast and Furious" scandal, and the ongoing coverup of that atrocious endeavor.
Another Serious Questions Every American Should Ask:
So that helps answer number one, as to why all of this is escalating. The American people simply then need to ask:
2) If our president would do the follwoing four things:The facts are that all of these type of events are rising percipitpously under this President.Then what is to say that he will not use other radicals, coming to this country committing further mayhem to further advance his politcal agendas and his fundamental transformation of America?
- Encourgae minority agitation and anti-law enforcement behavior through false (or at best, premature) narratives.
- Encourgae Islamic fundamentalists by openly saying that he will side with them if public opinion turns against them.
- Push for tens or hundreds of thousands of ISslamic refugees from war torn Syria and IRaq who cannot be proerrly vetted.
- Attempt to run guns to criminal drug elements in the hopes of crime and mayhem that can be used to further regulate guns
Relating it all back to the San Bernadino Massacre:
Now, what just happened in San Berandino is further illustration of several of these issues.
This raises some more critical questions:
About 11:40 AM PAcific Time in San Bernadino, Syed was at the Crhistmas Party being hosted by the Country Health department he worked in. He had attended the same part the year before in the same conference room. He abruptly left, looking nervous according to witnesses that survived, and reutned about 20 minutes later with Tashfeen. They entered the room and immediately, indisriminately opened fire. Within a very short time they were finished, exited the building, and then they left in a black SUV...leaving 14 dead and 17 wounded.
About 3-4 hours later, searching for the black SUV, Officers following leads to a house in Redlands, California, about 15 minutes away from the shooting scene. POlice saw a vehicle matching the black SUV that was involved in the shooting. Officers followed the vehicle and a chase ensueed. Police officers said that druing the chase the suspects fired at officers from their vehicle, and the officers returned fire. At the end of the chase, officers were again fired upon by the suspects from the car, and again returned fire. The SUV ended up being riddled with bullets, and both Syed and Tashfeen were killed at the scene. One police officer was wounded in the shootout but is expected to recover.
Police officials say that the suspects were wearing “assault-style†tactical clothing and were armed with assault rifles and handguns. A suspicious explosive device was found near the car. Police say that more possible explosive devices was also found inside the building where the intial shoointgs occurred. These were handled by explosive ordinance personnel from law enforcement.
These two did not decide on the spur of the moment to do this. Clearly, they had planned for it and they chose the time and place for it. They had amassed weapons, explosives, and tactical clothing to accomplish their deadly, horrif task of killing innocent Americans. They then went out and did so.
Clearly, two radicalized Muslims committed Johad here on American soil.
The two brothers in Boston did the same thing. The Muslim Major, HAsan, did the same thing at Ft. Hood. A muslim man did the same thing at a recuritment center in the south. These things are happening with more and more frequency, and law abiding, loayal Maerican citiz3ens and their firearms are not the problem. To the contrary, when these things happen, at the moment of attack...they can and should be the answer.
This is what we Americans should be focusing on like a laser.
What Should We Do:
How do we combat this? Here are nine direct, very practical things we can do:
Things like this will protect America and return us to a sane immigration and refugee policy. One that unites us all as Americans, instead of dividing us.
There are many more things we can do...but the types of questions outlined above must be asked, and then answered by the American citiznery. Not by the media. not by career politicians. Not by political appointees or pundits.
Then the American citizenry simply must vote for cadidates whom they honestly believe will implement measures like those above.
Nothing else will do.
WITHOUT SUCH INVOLVEMENT BY AN AROUSED CITIZENRY, WE WILL DESCEND FURTHER AND FURTHER INTO THE HORRORS WE HAVE SEEN AT THE BOSTON MARATHON BOMBING, AT FT HOOD, TEXAS, IN FERGUSON, IN WHAT HAPPENS EVERY WEEKEND IN CHICAGO, AND WHAT WE JUST SAW IN SAN BERNADOINO.
God bless us all to personally become involved and educate ourselves on these matter, and may God continue to beless the United States of America.

Haha!!
Yes agree. Stop it. It cannot be “screened”.
Good stuff JH.
Noted today that sheriffs in NY state, Arizona and the Chief of Police in Detroit asked all current law enforcement, retired law enforcement and all citizens with concealed carry licensees to “PLEASE” carry at all times when possible due the simple fact this is only gonna get worse......
Obama is responsible for these deaths at the hand of islamist psychos .... he and his supporters are the sole guilty parties in the deaths in this nation at the hands of muslims.
GUILTY !
God help us all....
Agree ..... well said !
TIME TO BRING BACK THE CRUSADERS.
Where are the survivor interviews?
Use them! Then, ideally, begin mass deportations, regardless of point-of-origin, to somewhere like Angola or Sudan...
The fence will never happen...Probably deportation will never happen...
So, it looks like we will succumb to a mythical Trojan horse redux...Or the "fall of the Roman empire" scenario (already about 30-million of the enemy within our "walls")...
Cannot say we weren't specifically forewarned...Clearly the "thousand years of darkness" is upon us...
I heard the shooters were “White” Hispanics...
BTW F*** the Southern Border Fence. Build a damn Wall! A big one! They’ve got one at Gitmo and it works.
This is enforcing (i) a more restrictive interpretation of the right to keep and bear arms than is recognized in many states, and (ii) the notion that the Federal Government has the right to restrict the right to keep and bear arms. In fact, the Fed has the obligation to protect this right. A better policy would be to institute nation wide "Alaska" carry; e.g. open or concealed carry with no permit or application process.
Hence a mile wide free fire zone South of the Border (like Pedro)
It is even simpler tan that, you just don't like it.
Outstanding thread, Jeff. Thanks
I have to tell you...the continuing discoveries regarding the bomb fatry they had in their garage, and the number of weapons and ammo they had accumulated points to something much bigger to me.
I believe these people were planning something bigger...or were a part of something bigger.
it is almost like they were planning a campaign, and were set up to arm more people.
I believe there is more to this than these two individuals and I hope loyal, honest FBI agents and other Law Enforcement personnel will chase this all the way down.
I get the feeling that they somehow felt that they had to act prematurely here. Just a feeling.
I also heard today that the city where they lived was one of the places Syrian refugees would be coming to. If this proves to be the case...it just adds to that prickly feeling along my spine.
All we can do is vote, educate, carry and be aware of a threat this nation has never experienced. Not even the indian wars can compare in my opinion of history studied and experienced first hand, both domestic and foreign.
Awareness , Colonel Coopers condition Yellow at a minimum
Reliable firearm
Quality Ammunition
Largest caliber you can hit the target with
The ability to comfortably carry it daily
Education & Training
Practice Practice Practice
If your blessed to currently live in a state that allows such.... toss a long gun in your vehicle with spare ammo as well. I do here in Texas.
Also ... many many active shooter videos, good and bad variants, on line as well as free training from most employers or local law enforcement. Embrace the opportunity to educate yourselves now folks. Situational awareness is key to you and yours safety. Don’t just brush it off, procrastinate or ignore the real valid threat to your life.....
Under this administration that profits from the death of its citizens and the demise of our nations infrastructure..... your on your own pretty much till a conservative constitutionalist is elected as a leader of this country.
My opinion .... Stay Safe !
THANK YOU for posting this!
I like it just fine.. for that part of the border on land.
Giving our river to Mexico? Naw, I don’t like that so much.
Do you?
