(Breitbart) – During a July 16 appearance on
Al Jazeera’s America Tonight, Colonel Gary Anderson, USMC (Ret),
said the Chattanooga attack demonstrates that the “gun control mafia” has left
military personnel and citizens alike in a defenseless position.
Al Jazeera introduced the segment by pointing
out that “those who were at the [Chattanooga] recruiting station…were not
permitted firearms.” And they pointed out that “this is standard protocol, not
only at recruiting centers but in other [military] facilities as well.”
Col. Anderson responded by pointing out
that these claims are true–our men and women in uniform are largely
disarmed–and that “part of the problem in this country is we start to see these
incidents occur more and more often where people go after deliberate soft
targets…[because] they know the target can’t shoot back.”
He then went on to point out that the
disarming of our military on stateside bases and in stateside offices and
recruitment centers is indicative of larger problem, seen in the way the “gun
control mafia” is pushing to disarm the American people as whole.
Col. Anderson added:
We can arm every recruiter, and that will help
the recruiter stations in case they are attacked. We can arm every Naval
Reserve Center, every Army Reserve Center, but that’s not the issue. The issue
is, if [the recruiting stations and reserve centers] become hard targets, the
other people that own shops and so forth in that strip mall aren’t protected
themselves.
I think the problem is really this pervasive gun control mafia
that we have in this country, that basically advocates for taking guns away
from citizens who could potentially defend themselves, and leaving the only
guns in the hands of those who might do them harm.
He said that because of these anti-gun
policies, a military facility is not the only soft target. “It can be a grammar
school, as we’ve seen, it can be church, as we’ve seen so recently. You can’t
protect everyone unless you actually arm the citizenry themselves, or at least
allow them–and encourage them–to be armed.”
