Over 15o French citizens were brutally murdered in a co-ordinated attack today from ISIS, just days after the Islamic jihadist group massacred 43 in in Beirut.
Six months ago, The Islamic jihadist group ISIS listed Carlsbad as one of the 100 cities on their “target list” as well as naming San Diego-based active duty service members on that list.
You would think the knuckleheads who run ISIS would heed Admiral Yamamoto’s advice but alas, Bill Gore wasn’t San Diego County Sheriff in the 1940s. He is today and he is intentionally flouting the law by denying law-abiding, vetted, and trained citizens, their God given and constitutionally protected right to bear arms.
The Second Amendment is not just for self-defense; it’s for the common defense. Stated pragmatically, if you are shopping at the Carlsbad Outlet Stores, and a few Islamic terrorists run in, and start spraying the crowd with automatic weapons, a CCW holder (or many CCW holders), unholster their weapons and eliminate the threat. You could always call 9-1-1 (and you should) but the death toll could rise as you wait. Philosophically speaking, that’s what the Founders had in mind when they talked about a “well regulated militia” in the Second Amendment. The Founders believed that citizens should be armed (if they choose to be armed) to provide for the common defense.
The threat is real; ask a Parisian. Paris has suffered two attacks in ten months from Islamic terror groups, ISIS has threatened your neighbor San Diegans and your sheriff chose to leave you defenseless.
Am I being dramatic? I am because “Je Suis un San Diegan.” Aux armes, citoyens!
