DHS Secretary Sees All Americans As a Threat: ‘Gun Control Has To Be a Part of Homeland Security’

The agency’s source of power has always been fear.
And now is the time to capitalize upon it.
Homeland Security chief Jeh Johnson has seized upon the Orlando shooting and is… rather predictably… using the specter of terrorism as a pretext for instituting gun control on a wider scale. (Of course, he isn’t alone.)
Secretary Johnson told CBS News that:
Just days after the massacre in an Orlando nightclub left 49 people dead and 53 wounded, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson on Tuesday said that gun control is now a critical element of protecting the U. S. homeland and keeping Americans safe.
‘We have to face the fact that meaningful gun control has to be a part of homeland security,’ Johnson said in an interview on ‘CBS This Morning.’ ‘We need to do something to minimize the opportunity for terrorists to get a gun in this country.’
[…] ‘I thought frankly after Sandy Hook where you have schoolchildren murdered in a classroom that maybe finally this will be the tipping point and we were not able to move the needle in Congress, unfortunately,’ Johnson said.
