The Importance of Carrying a Gun

 I wanted to get to this piece yesterday, but events got in the way.  By "this piece" I mean Kurt Schlichter at Townhall.com in an article entitled We are Sitting Ducks and Our Leaders Do Not Care. Schlichter is warning, yet again, that our own borders are wide open. Indeed, our borders are so wide open that to use an analogy from Covid, keeping illegals out of America is like trying to stop mosquitoes with a chain link fence. It ain't happening.

Though around the world sociopaths stabbed some folks, the Day of Jihad fizzled in America – how many bummed patriots slammed in a mag hoping some mutant was going to choose his small town to prove Jason Aldean right? But it is only a matter of time. When you allow millions of military-aged males to come unvetted into your country, including many from bizarre hellholes where hatred for Americana is more common than food and indoor plumbing, there is a non-zero chance that some of them are part of sleeper cells waiting for the signal to murder Americans here at home.
Oh, now I’m just a pundit, albeit one who actually has a little experience doing things, and it is not beyond the realm of pundit possibility that a commentator may exaggerate for effect. So ignore what I say. Ignore this heartfelt warning that our country is vulnerable to a massive insider threat made up of illegal aliens who have walked across the open border and can, at the time of their own choosing, decide to slaughter mass numbers of Americans. Put aside that it has happened before, from 9/11 to San Bernardino to the Pulse nightclub, and for all we know, in Las Vegas, because the FBI is too busy arresting scary grandmas for praying outside abortion clinics to figure out what the hell happened there.
I had the opportunity to ask probably the most respected senior White House official of the Trump Administration, National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien, whether he thinks there’s a threat. Well, I’ll let him speak for himself:
"The border is open. Thousands of military-age males from adversary nations enter the United States without women or children every day. Suppose only one-tenth of one percent of the millions of people who have crossed into America illegally over the past three years have malign intentions against our country. In that case, we have a serious national security problem."

Meanwhile, the regime media and the Democrat Party are doing everything they can to neuter our ability to respond

Why? Because they want to murder you. Actually, your death is a fringe benefit. They believe there’s political gain to doing it. If they spill enough American blood, maybe we will withdraw from the world. Maybe we will roll up into a fetal position and allow them to run rampant across the rest of the globe until, after their jihad has put the rest of the world under the black flag, they can finally concentrate their forces upon us and purge us from the face of the Earth.

Does it seem so strange that this would be so, given what I have written in the past? Schlichter recommends that you buy a gun, if you haven't already, get some training, buy ammunition, and carry that gun wherever you go. The more of us who are armed, the safer we will all be. As he points out, the question is not if but when. As for those who think that carrying a gun is un-Christian, let me disabuse them of that notion. Christ was not a pacifist. Did He not send down the 10 Commandments, one of which is "Thou shall not murder?" But that implies that you should take steps to protect yourself and those in your care from being murdered. God hates Evil, and we should too!  Oh, and I'll add to pray.
