Frankly, this blood is on the president’s hands. He didn’t create the policy of disarming our military personnel when it’s obvious there are enemy agents in our country who have them in their sights, but he’s surely had lots of opportunities to revisit and remedy it – and he chose not to. To leave our military people, who by definition we trust with a weapon, without the ability to protect themselves is unconscionable. Heads ought to roll for this, and Obama ought to be made to offer a personal apology to our troops for his despicable inaction. |

Don't we have at least three cabinet-level agencies with the brief of finding, tracing and securing these sorts of individuals ? These agencies enjoy the intrusive capabilities of the Patriot Act, vast computer networks and access to mountains of metadata on almost every individual in america, tracking their movements, finances, social and political activities. Yet a radicalized arab individual that failed at least one background check, traveled extensively to a hostile region, managed to obtain a variety of firearms and not one of these billion-buck budget agencies managed to cry 'foul' ? Too busy watching america vets I suppose.

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
