Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

May 12, 2009

A bill before the House of Representatives -- HR 2159 -- would make it a crime to provide firearms to dangerous terrorists. It is about thirty years too late, and targeted at the wrong people.

The federal government has been arming and training terrorists for decades. The Islamic radicals who coalesced into Afghanistan?s Taliban regime and the al-Qaeda network received arms, money, and other material support from the CIA. They?re merely the latest in a long roster of Islamic radicals who have been clients of Washington.

Obviously, the world would be better off if Washington were to stop arming terrorists. But the purpose of HR 2159 is not to stop the government from arming terrorists. Rather, it?s to stop private gun sales to private citizens the government regards as terrorists.

And according to a recent Department of Homeland Security study, practically anybody whose political perspective is to the right of Fidel Castro would qualify.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
