We all had to endure a very odd and long press conference held by the attorneys for the family of the two terrorists who killed 14 people, injured 21 others in a ruthless, maniacal, senseless attack in San Bernardino. The two take a ways? They want Americans to not rush to judgement regarding this brutality being a terrorist attack, and suggesting now is the time for us as a Christian nation to exercise forgiveness.
First, let there be no doubt...the bloody ruthless killing of 14 people, the injuring of 21 others was/is and always will be a terrorist attack, and if the woman terrorist's Facebook post is to believed, she is associated, be it directly or indirectly, with ISIS. Secondly, most of us could care less about your family's pain right at this moment. Our caring goes out to the families and friends of those 14 families who have lost a loved one just at the start of the Christmas Holidays. Our sympathies go out to the family and friends of those injured in this senseless,demonic attack of terrorism. You appearing on the news seeking sympathy and understanding for the terrorists families is, in my opinion, in very poor taste.
Let's move on to the press, and to President Obama who is going to speak to the nation tonight about Terrorism and gun control legislation...him and the press seem to be following two separate lines of reasoning that contradict each other.
On the one hand, we have both the press, and the Obama Administration chiding us to we careful not to punish five million peaceful Muslims (is this an oxymoron?) because of the terrorists actions of a few bad apples who have, are and will continue to attack us. On the other hand, they seem fine attacking our "Second Amendment Rights" because of the of a few.
If we are not supposed to group all Muslims together under the concept of shared or group guilt (much like Black Lives Matter does), if it is unfair to blame all Muslims for the actions of a few, then why is it affair to go after millions of law abiding American gun owners because of the actions of a few terrorists and mad men/women. Personal accountability on one hand, but group guilt and group punishment on the other?
Equality for all means no double standards and yet the press and our President are trying to have exactly that...DOUBLE STANDARDS. If America's gun owners under the concept of shared guilt are going to have our rights abridged, then under that same concept of shared guilt should not all Muslims have their rights abridged? Or instead, under the concept of PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, should we as Americans caution ourselves not to blame all Muslims for the actions of a few, while being secure under that same concept that our elected officials will not abridge our Second Amendment Rights because of the actions of a few bad apples?
