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 |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
