Why Would I Need a Gun in America ?

           I first heard about this case from my good friend and self described country curmudgeon, Gorges Smythe.    Gorges is a highly intelligent person who writes a common sense blog, called Gorges' Grouse.    He claims to be "a voice grumping in the wilderness" when I think he is a regional dispenser of common sense.  When you get a chance, please check out his blog. On many levels it's worth some time spent there.


           The twenty-eight year old man below is Yusuf Ibrahim.  I feel very sorry for anyone else who shares this name right now, as it is a fairly common Muslim name.   Yusuf had two male roommates with which he is reported to have shared a home.   According to the contents of a New Jersey State Police Press Release, Yusef Ibrahim is alleged to have shot both of the men, who were in their twenties, at close range.  Then he decapitated them, and removed their hands, and buried different body parts in different graves.  Of course, in America, at least for now, people are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.  Yusuf Ibrahim was apprehended while driving the white Mercedes Benz of one of the victims. Why would Yusuf do such a thing ?     Well, apparently his roommates were Coptic Christians.

        I deplore any type of violence against ANYONE.   Muslims should be free to worship as they wish. Jews should be free to worship as they choose, and Christians as they choose, and so long as Pagans don't indulge in human sacrifice, I am fine with them too.   Most of us start to have difficulties when any group thinks they have the moral obligation or the right to freely execute others, of their own, or of another faith.  I have trouble with the teachings of Hitler, and I have difficulties with people like Yusuf Ibrahim who mistakenly believe that their faith requires them to decapitate others.

        Could it be that Yusuf was emboldened by the encouragements to Muslims offered by President Obama ?    Could it be that extremist Muslims are feeling comfortable executing Christians because of the soft attitudes toward Bengazi on the part of the Obama Regime ?    Could it be that people like Yusuf Ibrahim were emboldened by the fact that an attack on a Muslim in the US gets coast to coast coverage, and this story hasn't seen a lot newsprint ?   Would it surprise anyone if terrorist Muslims felt encouraged in the present climate ?

          I don't know about anyone else, but if Muslims or anyone else are targeting Christians, I don't want the president going around talking about taking our guns or limiting our access to them.  If extreme Muslims are executing Christians in New Jersey and then decapitating and desecrating them, then I think I want to carry my weapon for self defensive purposes, wouldn't you ?


         With this in mind, lets contact our Congressmen and Senators and ask them not to restrict our access to firearms.  Meanwhile, lets hope our president doesn't find an angle by which to pardon our friend Yusuf below, or give him citizenship if he doesn't already have it, or perhaps a hundred thousand dollars in student loan money via FAFSA for a Phd in chemical engineering which he might not use for altruistic purposes !

          Americans need to have weapons because our own government won't or can't defend us.   Better a gun in our hand, than a SWAT team on the phone.

This is 28 year old Yusuf Ibrahim, who chose not to go to school, learn and trade and make a success of himself, but to decapitate other human beings and desecrate their bodies.

This is Yusuf with his new haircut and his orange clothing courtesy of the prison system in the State of New Jersey.

This is Yusuf in court with his attorney Elizabeth McPhillips.   This time he is answering to a robbery charge.
