(CNSNews.com) – Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said Thursday that a gun is “an instrument of terrorism” and that “sensible gun control consistent with the 2nd Amendment” is “a matter of homeland security.”

“I believe that sensible gun control consistent with the 2nd Amendment and consistent with a responsible gun owner’s right to own a gun is a matter of homeland security,” Johnson told the Senate Judiciary Committee in response to a question from Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) on whether it was “a significant security vulnerability” that terrorists can get “powerful firearms” and whether this is being exploited by those who would harm us.

These rats need to be smoked out, arrested and Loretta-ed.

Such utter crap. When on at least a couple of incidents, guns used in a crime have been traced back to our governemnts’ gun-running efforts. F@&^# Leahy

Control of treasonous Islamic terroristophiles
in the US government is sensible.

Who helped Hasan?

Why?

Why has there been no accountability? [/s]

[Tzimisce]

.....so DHS wants to flood our nation with untrackable, unregistered guns like they’re doing with Muslims who threaten our security?

[rockrr]

I would relish some common sense leftist control.

This a**hole can’t even spell his own name and he’s going to condemn our rights? **** off, Jay!

‘Sensible Gun Control…Is a Matter of Homeland Security’

Funny, I feel that way about Sensible Nuke Control, but of course, the Iran "deal" makes that impossible now.

Tell me again about Homeland Security.

This cannot be repeated enough, Jeh Johnson IS A MUSLIM !

[TalBlack]

Predictable and predicted back when the Orwellian sounding Dept of Homeland Security was proposed. We are nudging closer to the go signal. The left can be forgiven for thinking some unimaginably stupid “bold move” can be gotten away with; after all the left have been utterly un opposed for 8 years now...

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said Thursday that a gun is “an instrument of terrorism”

Does that mean all the police, law enforcement officers and our military are terrorists?

[Noumenon]

We need Islam control, just as we need noxious weed control.

Interestingly, all references to Jeh Johnson have been edited out of wikipedia, and it seems that any attempts to restore this are being removed (see the article's edit history).

Well, most leftists are against invasive species....

Is he a real muzzie or a calypso muzzie?

Especially if Slick slips back into the Rainbow Mosque.

[aloppoct]

love your post. Gun control to me means that we control the guns, not the government.

We saw yesterday that one of the rifles used in the Paris attack came from the Fast and Furious program. And these idiots DARE to use the word “sensible” with us??? JAIL THEM.
