Are they ‘Radical Islamic Terrorists’ or Not?

SECURE FREEDOM MINUTE

One of the defining themes of Donald Trump’s candidacy was his repudiation of the willful blindness of the Obama-Clinton administration about the nature of the Sharia-supremacist enemies we confront. Unlike Barack Obama, Mr. Trump made a point of repeatedly calling them “radical Islamic terrorists.”

The New York Times has reported, however, that the President’s new National Security Advisor told his first staff meeting last week that he rejected that characterization. If true, Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster seems unlikely to advance and execute the Trump strategy for Victory over Jihad.

Donald Trump’s voters rightly expect him to fulfill his pledge to “make America safe again” against radical Islamic terrorists. They will hold him accountable for his promise to eradicate such jihadists “from the face of the earth.” His team must, therefore, fully share his vision – and faithfully deliver on his commitments.

On a day when legislation benefiting women and black colleges and universities was signed with much pomp and circumstance, President Trump quietly followed through on his pledge to defend the Second Amendment by signing the repeal of Barack Obama’s Social Security gun ban. The U.S, House voted to repeal the ban on February 2 and the Senate voted to repeal it on February 15.

The ban was fashioned behind closed doors in the summer of 2015 and Breitbart News reported:

The specific details of the ban are unknown, as it is being put together “outside of public view.” But the LA Times reports that a ban on gun possession due to inability to handle finances would be sweeping; that it would cover those who are unable to manage their own affairs for a multitude of reasons–from “subnormal intelligence or mental illness” to “incompetency,” an unspecified “condition,” or “disease.”

The Times notes that the finances of roughly “4.2 million” Social Security beneficiaries are handled by someone else.

As bits and pieces of the ban continued to be revealed over the following months, it was evident that Social Security beneficiaries who required help managing their finances were in jeopardy of losing their Second Amendment rights. An overview of the ban–provided by the Social Security Administration (SSA)–showed it was structured so that persons under mental duress and requiring help with their finances could be investigated by the SSA, then turned over to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to be barred from gun purchases.
