Liberal Sheriff Encourages Citizens to Carry Guns After Mass Shooting

 

The Sheriff of Ulster County, New York made a surprising suggestion to residents in his jurisdiction. On Thursday, Paul Van Blarcum posted a message on Facebook which read “In light of recent events that have occurred in the United States and around the world I want to encourage citizens of Ulster County who are licensed to carry a firearm to PLEASE DO SO. I urge you to responsibly take advantage of your legal right to carry a firearm.†

 

What’s so surprising about that? Blarcum is a Democrat. While most Democrats are calling for more firearm regulation, as they do after every mass shooting event, Blarcum sounded confident that ordinary citizens could make a difference. During a recent radio interview he clarified his statement. “I was reaching out to people who are already legally licensed to carry handguns, so it definitely wasn’t a second amendment issue. Just encouraging them to help; you know, we’re partners with the public in crime prevention. So these people are legally registered to carry, and I’m encouraging them if they’re comfortable to do that to carry.â€

 

He then added that “People get gun permits for various different reasons. I think the people that are out there that do carry concealed right now are probably as proficient with their weapons as police officers are.†For once it’s refreshing to see a politician recognize the rights of his voters, and not treat the citizenry like a bunch of helpless children.

As commentators have pointed out, this is a new era of terrorism in America. I think many people are shell-shocked right now, and are looking for answers.

After all the technology is used and the buttons are pushed, then when the planet won't be worth living on,

 

it will boil down to the basic rifleman to do and start it all over again.

 

It's to bad we all can't live together in PEACE while respecting each other for being DIFFERENT.

 

I want no enemies but ALL FRIENDS...

 

Live and let LIVE with RESPECT for Each Other - for the sake of ALL CHILDREN  - MFriends

Just caught on the morning NEWS - one of them flying DRONEs - someone had hooked

 

up a hand gun to and improvised it to shoot, YES while it was flying - it was also shooting too. 

 

WE now live in a pretty sick world, where technology has empowered fools who are cowards in

 

the first place, to do far more harm to good people than one could expect from such cowards...

 

WOW makes me wish I was born before the 1900's.
