(CNSNews.com) – Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said Thursday that a gun is “an instrument of terrorism” and that “sensible gun control consistent with the 2nd Amendment” is “a matter of homeland security.”

“I believe that sensible gun control consistent with the 2nd Amendment and consistent with a responsible gun owner’s right to own a gun is a matter of homeland security,” Johnson told the Senate Judiciary Committee in response to a question from Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) on whether it was “a significant security vulnerability” that terrorists can get “powerful firearms” and whether this is being exploited by those who would harm us.

It is deranged to ignore the motive, and evil to twist it to support an agenda.

Jeh Johnson is deranged and evil. He is unfit for any public office.

Yes sir and his actions are being scrutinized quietly by those who are deciding or who have already decided his fate.

Jeh Johnson is a moslem brotherhood trial lawyer bureaucrat. What can be wrong with this? Whose side is he on?

And now we know Obama’s gun policy (e.g. his political scheme called Fast and Furious) has led to the deaths in Paris. He has their blood on his hands.

Says the administration that sold weapons to Mexican cartel criminals, assorted thugs and terrorists.
The Dept. of JustUs, ATF, DHS—they’ve pretty much used up any credibility they may have inherited.

Seems to me kicking out the Democrat administration is a much bigger matter of national security.

It is just rhetoric. “Sensible”-—is meaningless to irrational fascists who believe it is sensible to allow two males who love sodomizing each other to “marry”. it is “sensible” to tell young boys they should take “pride” in sodomizing others-—and little girls it is good to kill your own genetic offspring. They can promote Satanism, a religion, in OUR Justice System now.

Our Language and Constitution has been totally corrupted where Words/Language are meaningless. Our legal system is meaningless (and unconstitutional-—but what the heck!!!!!! Who cares??? Where is Cruz??? ON REALITY and TRUTH and SODOMY and True Christianity which created our Justice (virtue) System.

How can he sit back and allow Justice (virtue) to be stripped from Just Law (see tagline). It is irrational (and Marxism—Stalin’s Constitution-—NOT AMERICAN LAW or JUSTICE.

Without Truth in Words, there is no sanity—no ability to have a “Justice” System, since the Left has make Justice into Vice.

So many judges/lawyers/politicians need to be put into prison for Treason.

DHS Secretary: ‘Sensible Gun Control…Is a Matter of Homeland Security’

So this bastard wants to invoke broad new gun control laws.

But in the same breath he won't obey the law.

Eff you, "Jeh".

“In fact, I’m told that at least one al Qaeda member has pointed to the U.S. gun show loophole to encourage their sympathizers to acquire used firearms.”

So Jeh, you want to punish Americans because of our enemies? Do I have that right?

I am ashamed to admit the Jeh was from Indiana and does not understand Homeland Security, the 2nd Amendment nor Gun Control. In IN “flyover country”:

Homeland Security means Culture, Borders, Language.
Enforce immigration laws, deny (potential) terrorists entry, do NOT establish sanctuary cities where, nor allow those granted visas to overstay them.

2nd Amendment states simply “...the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” Applications for permission, fees and taxes, lists of applicants, etc. have changed this right into a privilege. It is NOT a matter of what tools you own, but what you CHOOSE to do with them that makes a difference.

Gun Control means citizens ARE the militia owning arms and as capable as the riflemen who won our independence from a tyrant King! The Apple Seed definition is best - a rifleman is skilled in arms and capable of controlled sustained fire hitting designated targets consistently at 500 yds with iron sights and a rack grade arm.

Oh, and:

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said Thursday that a gun is “an instrument of terrorism”

Well, if that is so, government needs to get rid of ALL THEIR GUNS for they would be in possession of instruments of terrorism.

Unless, of course, they intend to terrorize US.
