To President Obama, Vice president Biden:
I agree with your concern about our children, but how about our coming together to protect our foreign ambassadors such as Christopher Stevens and the other brave Americans who tried to save him in Benghazi when our government failed to do so. And also our other American diplomats and those American civilians recently kidnapped in Algeria by al-Qaida offshoots. Oh, and let’s not forget our border patrol agents, etc. They all could have been saved if there was an armed U.S. security person to confront any threats on these defenseless Americans. (Be they children or adults, they were all vulnerable Americans.) They all deserve to have a government that takes their job risks and their other security risks seriously, a government that will be there for them when they are dangerously threatened, even if some of those guns were provided by our government and made easily accessible to drug cartels, terrorists and/or deranged individuals.
It’s the mind and soul behind the gun that pulls the trigger.
