Armed Citizens May Be the Solution to Terrorism, Says Interpol Secretary General

What do you do when terrorists turn from attacking well-protected government buildings and transportation centers in favor of anyplace that people may congregate? Specifically, how do you address bloody scenarios like the assault on the Westgate mall in Nairobi, Kenya by the Islamist group al-Shabaab, which killed at least 61 civilians? Well, the Secretary General of Interpol, the international police-coordination organization, says you either start providing "extraordinary security" perimeters around anything that might be a target, or else let people carry the means to defend themselves. Surprisingly, he seems to lean toward empowering individuals to take responsibility for their own defense.

Obama wants to disarm us in the face of terrorism, which he of course does not acknowledge.

He is not a leader.

He's reality denying liberal, (among other epithets) so I should not be surprised.
