The tragic shooting in Oregon has understandably left many American upset.
What aggravated their sadness on this day was that just hours later, without
all the facts, President Obama went on his traditional anti-gun rant. He didn’t
mention radical Islam, or the targeting of Christians (known facts already),
instead he went on an anti-gun rant that none of the existing laws would have
prevented, nor any proposed laws short of confiscation.
Luckily, there are still Americans willing to call to the President on his
behavior. And it’s especially gratifying when that individual is an authority.
According to the Conservative Tribune:
But former Florida congressman and retired Army Lt. Col. Allen B. West took
exception to Obama’s “gun safety” rant, and, noting that a good leader waits
for all of the facts before making proclamations, suggested he should be more
concerned with “human safety.”
Referencing the concerns of a college professor friend in Pittsburgh who is
compelled to go to work every day in a gun-free zone, West pointed out how
these zones do little more than disarm law-abiding citizens and give criminals
a distinct advantage over their potential victims.
West also dismissed Obama’s claimed passion about “gun safety,” asking “if
this is about new gun safety laws, then Mr. President, explain to us the
immense gun violence in your hometown of Chicago,” or in Washington, D.C., or
Baltimore, all of which have strict gun control laws.
He wondered why Obama consistently remains silent about the constant
shootings in his hometown and decried the fallacious comparison Obama routinely
makes between gun violence deaths and those caused by terrorism.
What is the President up to if he’s more interested in taking our guns than
he is in empowering us to protect ourselves. Surely he doesn’t want to
replicate what’s happening in Chicago, across the nation? Or maybe he does?
What do you think about Lt. Col West’s remarks? Was it appropriate for
Obama to jump into the debate without all the facts? Leave a comment with your
