Retiring Soetoro holdover Rasmussen takes parting shot at 2nd Amendment

[The Hill] The retiring head of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) warned ahead of his exit Friday about the ability for extremists in the U.S. to get lethal weapons.

In a final briefing with reporters ahead of his departure, NCTC Director Nicholas Rasmussen voiced concern about the ability to protect from mass casualty attacks.

"We find ourselves in a more dangerous situation because our population of violent extremists has no difficulty gaining access to weapons that are quite lethal," Rasmussen said, according to The Washington Post. "I wish that weren’t so."
Could he be making the connection between highly lucrative drug trafficking networks and gun running ?
Rasmussen, who served as the NCTC's director for three of his five years there, said he had no solutions to offer domestic law enforcement agencies working to prevent mass-casualty attacks, but said a link between the availability of guns and the potential for violence is a calculation for counterterrorism analysts.

#1 No mention of the Iranians or Hezbullah, but I'm sure Director Rasmussen had them in mind.

#2 Lethal weapons - cars. Under the 10th Amendment, that's a state responsibility.

#3 he had no solutions to offer domestic law enforcement agencies working to prevent mass-casualty attacks, but said a link between the availability of guns and the potential for violence is a calculation for counterterrorism analysts.

Guns have been widely available in this country for a long time. That's not the link he should worry about. How about the seeping in of corruption to the Feral government?

The 2nd Amendment stands between the people and tyranny but then I'm preaching to the choir. How about government-sponsored gun running, drug importation and opening the flood gates to illegal immigrants?

#4 Meant to put this with the second paragraph, How about government-sponsored gun running, drug importation and opening the flood gates to illegal immigrants?

#5 "We find ourselves in a more dangerous situation because our population of violent extremists has no difficulty gaining access to weapons that are quite lethal," Rasmussen said, according to The Washington Post. "I wish that weren’t so."

Project Cassandra would have worked to slow down the money to buy the weapons along with keeping a little bit of meth out of our country...but, you liberal f-ing idiots worked to dismantle it.

#6 Rasmussen, ... said a link between the availability of guns and the potential for violence is a calculation for counterterrorism analysts.

So the Vegas massacre was a CT OP gone bad.

#7 he had no solutions to offer domestic law enforcement agencies working to prevent mass-casualty attacks, but said a link between the cheapness of migration and the potential for violence is a calculation for counterterrorism analysts.

FIFY!
