Every time some 3-year old gets his hands on a pistol and shoots and kills his brother or his mother, it’s always the same with the wussy left-wing second amendment haters: “We have to limit access to guns so this won’t happen.” But for every gun-wielding toddler who gets away with shooting his mother, there’s probably a dozen who are taken out by safety-minded responsible adult gun owners.
It’s the same with drones. I’m sure that now that “innocent” Americans have been killed by American drones raining death from the sky, the wacky left will call for limits on drones. First they’ll say the drones have to be registered. Then they’ll say no one can use a drone without taking a course in drone safety. Pretty soon only the terrorists will have drones.
Look. Drones don’t kill people. People kill people. Toddlers kill people. American presidents born in Kenya kill people.
You give a drone fleet to a president who didn’t grow up shooting squirrels with drones on his ranch, what do you think is going to happen? You can’t expect a community organizer to be able to handle that kind of fire-power. You need a real man who eats raw eggs for breakfast and doesn’t wear sissy suits.
What America needs is more drones, not fewer. If those “innocent” Americans hadn’t got themselves held hostage by terrorists in the first place, they wouldn’t have been in the line of fire. Know how they could have prevented themselves being taken hostage? By shooting those terrorists with drones of their own, that’s how.
I’ve said it before and I’m saying it again, right now. If my right to bear arms is ever going to mean anything, I have to have arms to bear. It’s just like the right to a lawyer.
I don’t have a predator drone. Why is that? It’s because I can’t afford one. So in respect of the second amendment, the government has to give me a free predator drone.
It doesn’t have to be a no-strings deal. I’m not crazy enough to think that will ever happen. I know there would be some obligations on my part. I’d have to take a course or two in how to aim the thing. I might have to time-share it with other poor people. But even if I only had it for 20 minutes a day, that and a free government shotgun or two, I promise you my neighborhood would be totally terrorist-free within a week.
Drones represent our future as Americans. It’s what we are, what we have to offer the world. We have the best weapons of anyone on this planet and in the history of the world. If we don’t use them to kill people, the terrorists will. Because you can’t have drones being built by arms manufacturers and not have them being bought and used.
It’s like dog food. Suppose there were suddenly no dogs in the world to eat dog food. Do you think dog food companies would let that put them out of business? Of course not. They would put new labels on their dog food cans and call the contents pâte de nez. Somebody has to buy what they sell. If not dog owners, then let it be the vast majority of the world that isn’t French.
Likewise, drones are going to be bought, sold and used. If we Americans don’t buy them and use them, look out, because here come the Angolans and the Azerbaijanis and the Albanians, not necessarily in that order.
There have been on the order of a thousand innocent civilians killed by predator drones since they began being used. We always knew collateral damage was going to happen. Now that a couple of those innocent civilians have been Americans, we need the spirit of George Custer more than ever to march with us into our future to the tune of the Garryowen, cause there’s still some injuns, I mean terrorists, left.
