Legal Immigrant Speaks Against Gun Control During Public Hearing – Video

Adjust text size:


A Korean native dismisses gun availability as the cause behind an increase in the number of mass shootings in the US, in a public hearing on gun control.

The accompanying video includes his passionate speech against stricter gun regulations, as he supports the right to bear weapons.

According to The Blaze, Henson Ong was speaking in Hartford, Connecticut, on January 28. He makes an interesting argument when he brings up a decrease in gun availability in recent years.

“You could buy rifles at hardware stores, you could order them… your country was awash in readily available firearms and ammunition, and yet in your past you did not have mass school shootings.

“What changed? [...] It was not that the availability of guns suddenly exploded or increased, it actually was decreased. What changed was societal decay,” he expresses with conviction.

Do you think he has a point? Write your opinion on the issue of regulating gun ownership and use in the comment section below.

My question is why does this LEGAL IMMIGRANT know more about our Constitution and gun laws than those trying to amend them? He is spot on in his statements and documentation. He is spot on in his report of highest crime rates in areas of toughest gun control. That police chief from Baltimore tried to equate a woman with a gun to protect herself as being as dangerous as a woman in a home with repeated family violence. They're not even in the same league. The only way the gov't can begin to remove your rights, is by removing your ability to protect them.
