Muslim Refugee Shoots National Guardsmen

You've probably already head of yesterday's ambush attack of two National Guardsmen in Washington D.C. Both victims--Sarah Beckstrom, 20, and Andrew Wolfe, 24--are in critical condition. The Muslim terrorist behind the attack is an Afghan named Rahmanullah Lakanwal who was admitted to the U.S. "through Operation Allies Welcome, the botched 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal plan that allowed roughly 90,000 Afghans to obtain Special Immigration Visas under the Biden Administration, sources said."  "Late on Wednesday night, the CIA director revealed Lakanwal had direct links to the agency from his work alongside US Special Forces in Afghanistan before the disastrous military withdrawal."  This attack was apparently his way of expressing gratitude that his asylum application had been approved on April 23 of this year. 

    The shooter had been resettled in Bellingham, Washington, "one of the cities earmarked for Afghan refugees, with about 800 resettled statewide in 2022, according to the Immigrant & Refugee Health Alliance.  U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, the top federal prosecutor for Washington D.C., "said the suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, allegedly drove cross-country from Washington state to target the guard members." "Per the New York Post: 

    The crazed shooter was allegedly lying in wait when he launched his vicious attack near the Farragut West Metro Station in Northwest DC — just blocks from the White House — shooting a female guard in the chest before firing a round into her head, law enforcement sources said.

    Lakanwal then allegedly fired at and struck the second guard — until a third soldier stationed nearby rushed to the area and took him down, sources said.

Pirro has stated that Lakanwal was armed with a Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum revolver. He is facing charges of assault with intent to kill and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence. 

    As a consequence of this attack, "[t]he U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said on Wednesday it had halted processing of all immigration requests relating to Afghan nationals indefinitely, 'pending further review of security and vetting protocols.'"

    I would be remiss if I didn't point out that Washington state law requires a background check and a 10 business day waiting period in order to purchase a handgun. At this point, it should be obvious that gun control laws don't work, they don't protect anyone, and should be struck from the books. If only we had some national law, perhaps a Constitutional amendment, prohibiting the government from interfering with our right to possess arms.
