U.S. Muslim Writer Agitates for Citizens to Disarm -- JPFO Fires Back

[Ninja]

Junaid M. Afeef
Research Associate at the Institute for Social Policy & Understanding:

Today, only a handful of citizens outside of neo-nazi and white supremacist goups view gun ownership as a means of keeping the government in check. Even those citizens who continue to maintain such antiquated views must face the reality that the United States’ armed forces are too large and too powerful for the citizenry to make much difference. Quite frankly, the idea of the citizenry rising up against the U.S. government with their handguns and assault rifles, and facing the military with these personal arms is absurd. The Branch Davidian tragedy at Waco, Texas, was one such futile attempt.

The more important consideration is public safety. It is no longer safe for the public to carry guns. Gun violence is increasingly widespread in the United States.

So long as guns remain available to the general public, there will always be the threat of terrorists walking into a crowded restaurant, a busy coffee shop or a packed movie theater and opening fire upon unsuspecting civilians.
The Second Amendment is not worth such risks.

JPFO fires back:

Another “think tank,” this one called the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding (ISPU), has come out for total civilian disarmament and repeal of the Second Amendment.

What’s new about that? ISPU is openly pro-Muslim, and the ISPU writer is a criminal defense attorney who argues for repealing parts of the Bill of Rights.

I think it's sick that any American would listen to anything these people say.

I also think it's sick that any American would entertain the thought of giving up their 2nd Ammendment right to bear arms.

Preamble to the Bill of Rights:
"The conventions of a number of the States having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added."

Some say the thought of militia to protect citizens from government is antiquated. Antiquated...do they think the notion a government will abuse it's powers antiquated?

The liberals don't have the balls to try and change this Ammendment. Why don't they try? Because the American people would not stand for it. The majority of us know why we have the 2nd Ammendment and love the fact that we do. The founding fathers were genius. Their ideas are timeless and ever relevant. Anyone who disagrees with that is less than American. These are the principles on which the American people exist, to change them is to change us.

Why does the so called peoples party (Democrates) want to take power away from the people?
Answer: They are not the people's party. They are socialists. That means power for an elite few in the name of the people. The reality is, less power for the people in exchange for handouts.

"The 2nd Ammendment is the reset button on the Constitution."

Yea because if we ban weapons then bad guys won't ever be able to get them. What a moron. All he is trying to do is disarm the American public so such terrorists can have free reign in slaughtering law abiding citizens.
