Interpol chief: Citizens need guns

WASHINGTON – As the United Nations seeks to push its global anti-gun campaign – through a treaty U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry just signed – the chief of the International Criminal Police Organization, or Interpol, believes open societies can be protected from terrorists by citizens defending themselves with guns, according to a report from Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin.

The U.N. effort in the U.S. is expected to be dead on arrival at the U.S. Senate, which would have to ratify the treaty. The United States for years has refrained from signing it, until now.

Mindful of the recent terrorist attack at the Westgate Shopping Mall in Nairobi, Kenya, Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble said that armed citizens in open societies need to be able to defend themselves and others against terrorist attacks.

In the Sept. 21 shopping mall attack, considered to be a “soft target,” some 72 people were k**led, including five of the attackers from the Somali Islamist group al-Shabaab. While five of the dead were members of the Kenyan military, 61 were civilians.

Noble said in a report on ABC the attack on the mall marks an “evolution in terrorism.” Instead of targets like the Pentagon and other high-security locations, attackers have begun to focus on sites with little security that attract large numbers of people.

“Societies have to think about how they’re going to approach the problem (of terrorism),” Noble told ABC. “One is to say we want an armed citizenry, you can see the reason for that. Another is to say the enclaves are so secure that in order to get into the soft target you’re going to have to pass through extraordinary security.”

Such enclaves could include places where people generally gather, such as at malls, theaters, supermarkets, town squares and churches. But putting these locations under a high level of security would keep people from going to them.

“Ask yourself,” Noble said. “If that was Colorado, if that was Texas, would those guys have been able to spend hours, days, shooting people randomly? What I’m saying is it makes police around the world question their views on gun control.

“You have to ask yourself, ‘Is an armed citizenry more necessary now than it was in the past with an evolving threat of terrorism?’” Noble asked. “This is something that has to be discussed.”

Gun control in the U.S. has been a dominant issue following a series of mass shootings, including the movie theater in Aurora, Colo., where 12 people were k**led, and the grade school in Newtown, Conn., where 26 people, including 20 children were k**led.

In light of the terrorist threat worldwide, Noble questioned the idea of gun control.

He said that members of law enforcement since the Westgate Mall attack are very alarmed over the prospect of similar attacks and have issued a warning.

Al-Qaida, to which al-Shabaab belongs, recently issued a call for “brothers to strike soft targets, to do it in small groups,” as was the case at Westgate.

In the 70's a show called "all in the Family" had a character Archie bunker.,,,, the character was played by carrol O'Connor a flaming liberal i***t, and poked fun at all conservative thought because the character portrayed conservatives as imbecilic r****ts a-holes,,,period. However at that time hijackings were the rage and Archie did a commentary on the local news as part of the comedy, in it he said "Alls you do, is when the passengers shuffle by to pick up a bag lunch, youz passes out the pistols too" A big joke,,, then,,,, but look where we are now by hiding our heads in the sand and thinking we can pay someone else to protect us,,,,its time for action,,, and unfortunately the criminals and psychos have chosen the weapons. It is a gunfight to the death,,, and we cant wish it away

With our government knowing that gun control doesn't work to stop crime....we need to look at other reasons for disarmament, The government arms the terrorists while not trying to disarm the criminals, (American muslim training camps and Fast and Furious) It is obvious that THIS GOVERNMENT wants the law abiding citizens disarmed and helpless! These mass k*****gs are obviously done by agents of one of our government agencies, as the "controller or handler" is always released and covered up! And the government controlled media has a story all ready! There is only ONE REASON for it.....the government intends to take over the country without the v**ers consent!
