Farrakhan Condemns Gun Ownership in a ‘Volatile America’: ‘There Is No Need for the American People to Be Armed to the Teeth’

Jan. 28, 2013 6:21am Billy Hallowell

On Sunday, the Minister Louis Farrakhan continued his 52-week sermon series entitled, “The Time and What Must Be Done.” In his third installment, the Nation of Islam leader tackled gun control and his views on a “volatile” U.S. populace. He claimed that the American people are increasingly unhappy with their government and that they are simultaneously arming for war. In addition to making these observations and accusations, Farrakhan dismissed the modern-day application of the Second Amendment as well as the need — and right — for Americans to arm themselves.

“Look at the American peoples’ thoughts about Congress. What is the percentage of the American people that feel that the U.S. Congress is doing a good job. Eleven percent,” he said. “Then 89 percent of the American people are angry, disaffected, dissatisfied with their government — and you’re selling them weapons of war and the militias are multiplying.”

Considering Farrakhan’s recent comments about the American people — that they are “savage,” “brutal” and “uncivilized” — it’s no surprise that he is skeptical about guns and the notion that “angry” citizens could use them to wage “war.” After making these curious comments, the fiery faith leader delved into his intriguing views about gun control. Of particular note, he gave a “history” lesson that some gun enthusiasts will certainly take issue with.

“See, the right to bear arms was given at a time when there was no regulated militia to protect America,” he said. “But now you have police well-armed, you have state troopers well armed, you have the National Guard and you have federal troops.”

Farrakhan continued from there, claiming that “there is no need for the American people to be armed to the teeth if you have a responsible militia to protect the society of the United States.” He also noted his dismay over the number of weapons owned (his figure: 350 million) versus the number of Americans (nearly 314 million).

While one would assume that the gun control touting would continue from there, Farrakhan next attempted to tie together his discussion about firearms with a defense of leaders from nations like Libya and Syria — countries he believes the U.S. shouldn’t have “meddled” in. The rest of his diatribe, while somewhat confounding, can be read, below:

“Over 350 million guns are in the possession of the American people with a population that has not reached 350 million. And as anger toward the U.S. government increases, do you think that you too will do exactly what you accused Ghaddafi of Libya of doing? You said he killed his own people he’s unfit to rule. You say Assad is killing his own people — he’s unfit to rule.

But what was done by your meddling in the affairs of these nations? Well nobody has to meddle in the affairs of America, because the people are dissatisfied with their government.”

  “Eighty-nine percent of the American people are angry, disaffected, dissatisfied with their government — and you’re selling them weapons of war…”
  
  But the REAL reason he wants disarmament is because the vast, vast majority of guns are in the hands of 200 million Euro-Americans, and he knows that represents an overwhelming force if push comes to shove.
  
  Notice too that Biden advocated everyone buy a shotgun, instead of a semi-automatic rifle, in spite of the fact that a shot gun if used in mass shootings would be MUCH MORE devastating than a semi-auto rifle?
  
  Of course, his reasons for discouraging semi-auto purchases is because he knows the weapons give the citizenry the necessary firepower against possible government shoot and boot raids or out-and-out attacks on them, more so than shotguns would, which are short range weaponry.
  
  Citizens need to buy about ten million MORE semi-auto rifles in the following months, and if there’s a bill passed requiring registration, they should do as many are doing right which is to have sophisticated stashes that thwart infra-red or similar locators.
  
  Printed money is keeping this severely wounded world economy afloat for right now, but the bonds sold that represent a pool of funding will soon require a SUBSTANTIAL increase in the interest rates which will make the interest on the debt so great it will be almost as large as the entitlement expense in the budget.
  
  This is the calm before the storm.

  He remembers what happened to his buddy Gaddafi. Armed militias tracked his ass down and tortured him to death. Execution with a gun would have been too easy and unsatisfying for the rebels. The firearms only made finding the POS dictator possible. Fagakhan knows that the Americans who are armed to the teeth would probably give their guns a break once his guards were taken care of. I for one, would rejoice in the opportunity to show him the new meaning of being “armed to the teeth” by introducing the polluted hole he calls a mouth to my exceptionally American fists and elbows.

Not only does the people have to be armed to the teeth but have to have the resolve to use the force of arms if needed to protect ourselves from a tyrannical government and the goon squads that they may turn loose on innocent people.

If that does not convince every American that still has half a brain left that American’s need to arm themselves then noting will. The Nation of Islam is one of the most vile American hating organizations in the land and they want the citizens of America disarmed. Wake up Americans! There is a reason that the left wants you defenseless! For many years the Untied States has been free of attacks by outside forces because not only do we have a military but our citizens have the right to defend themselves.

I’m sure the Blaze won’t put this up—but I’ve been waiting on the Nation of Islam to come out in favor of disarming the American people because who Louis Farrakhan actually is talking about disarming is the WHITE population in America. I’ve been following Farrakhan since the earliest 90’s when I stumbled across a Nation of Islam Convention broadcasted on C-Span from Chicago—for some reason it has been scrubbed completely from C-Span archives,, wonder who was there that no one wants us to see—

An African-American population in America isn’t the only player in this scenario—They’ve done such a good job of isolating the white segment of America’s population that now we “old, Christian White Men” are the odd-man out in our own country.

Farrakhan has been on a crusade for the last two years warning “his people” about the “rise of the White Devils militias” as he would say—“Mothers, have your young warriors prepared, be prepared my Brothers, sisters and young bloods, be prepared because the “White Devil is armed and he is WELL ARMED”— If you listen real closely you will hear them slip and tell you their plans—Black, Hispanic all will slip once in awhile and tell you their goal White Races’ days on the planet are few and growing fewer each day…

What is this nonsense about “need” when it comes to guns? Do we ask what a person “needs” to practice their 1st amendment rights? You don’t “need” a church building to worship. You don’t “need” a microphone, a printer, a computer, etc. to get your ideas out to other people. Should we control those things too in case some church decides to start sacrificing young maidens to Satan or someone decides to stir up riots in the streets?

Funny how these muslim communist creeps surround themselves with guns for protection yet want to take your gun away so you don’t have the same protection. I guess they deem us a threat and consider the masses not worthy of the same rights.

Farrakhan,
The level of opposition seems to coincide to the severity of oppression. The African had no firearms, they became slaves. The Jew had firearms confiscated and the perceived threat to the ruling government mandated the Jews extermination.

The day you hand over your (equally matched/armed) ability to resist the government, is the day you allow the creation of a doorway to slavery and oppression. Be warned this doorway is purposely and relentlessly being created by obama’s regimen. He was placed in power for in his own words to “Fundamentally Change America”

Farrakhan, Are these signs of a Tyrant? Powers to:
Intercept and store all of our online internet and telephone communications.
“No free speech zones” You can be charged with a felony and serve a year in prison,
Declare state of emergency free from review from Congress for six months.
Stock pile billions of rounds of hollow point ammunition. (hollow point ammunition is illegal in war)
Assassinate U.S. citizens without trial at home and abroad.
Seize and control communication media.
Seize and control of all modes of transportation, aircraft, trains, highways, seaports.
Seize and control electric, gas, fuels.
Mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.

  Also, Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano announced that HLS has purchased 7000 Assault Weapons (fully automatic) as posted in the blaze Jan. 26. The ammunition and guns are not to protect us from the Chinese, Russians, Canadians, or Mexicans overrunning our borders, but they most certainly are meant to be used upon us Americans. We must remember that all bureaucrats, which includes law enforcement, are order takers. They do and keep their jobs by receiving and executing those orders. There is no room or purpose in bureaucrats for any compassion or reasonable discretion when dealing with citizens. Thus we continuously see cop shooting people’s beloved pet dogs during raids. We hear of cop pointing their lazar sights at infants in their cribs. Our government has and increasingly continues to become a desperate criminal enterprise. It is lawless, continuously participating in unconstitutional acts. Our congress has abandoned investigating many obvious infractions of law by the democrats and this administration, including the most flagrant infraction of Obama not qualifying to hold the office of the presidency. The democrat practice of using every school slaughter to demand gun control show how great the necessity of confiscating our guns and gun accessories is to them. They know that the only thing left to stop their goal to set up a totalitarian state is our guns.
  Americans must therefore, resist any and every encroachment upon out second amendment rights.
