Douglas Welborn: Gun control stops Americans from defending themselves

The Obama regime, Hillary Clinton and other leftists told us that young men are turning to terrorism because of a lack of jobs. The young terrorist in San Bernadino had a great job. He made over $70,000 a year. I guess the Obama regime was wrong. Now, according to the Obama regime and the left, it is global warming that is causing terrorism. I don’t believe that the drought caused this maniac to kill 14 people. Now the answer is, according to the Obama regime, more gun control.

All gun control does is deny the right of Americans to defend themselves from terrorism and crime. Remember when you vote, that politicians who vote for gun control are voting for the terrorists and criminals.
