Hi, everyone. Judge Andrew Napolitano here for Judging Freedom. Today is Monday, June 20, 2022, a federal holiday, Juneteenth. the more heartbreaking it is. And the more I point the finger at the government, I've been pointing my finger at the government for all of these mass shootings, because of its emasculation of our right to self-defense. The ancient right to self-defense is a natural personal right that comes from your humanity. The Second Amendment keeps the government from interfering with that ancient right, but the government interferes with it anyway. In Buffalo, New York, 10 people were slaughtered by a madman, a racist, who acted out on his racial hatred of people of color by killing them indiscriminately in an environment where he knew they couldn't be armed anywhere in the state of New York. In Ovalde, Texas,

where 19 little babies age 7 to 10 were slaughtered by a madman in a school where the teachers and administrators were emasculated because of a Texas rule that doesn't permit guns in government schools unless the government asks for exemption from the rule, which 137 school districts in Texas have asked for and all have received. It was easy in the gun-free school zone to go in there and for this madman to kill these babies like shooting fish in a barrel. It's absolutely horrific. Both of these mass murders are the fault of the government, in one case for not letting people carry arms to defend themselves. In another case for advertising a gun-free school zone. Now we find out more incompetence on the part of the Uvalde School District Police Department. For 77 minutes while the gunman was murdering babies. Not one of them tried to open the door to the school.

Not one of them tried to open the door. They didn't know if it was locked or if the lock didn't work. And it turns out that the lock did not work. And if they had attempted to open that door, they could have gotten in. Of course, these guys are so gutless, so incompetent. Who knows what they would have done when they got in there? Who knows when they would have decided to try and open the door? I shouldn't be so angry, but I am angry because babies are dead And lives are lost and hearts are broken And this is a pain that will live with the parents And the loved ones for the rest of their lives

And these babies, little angels in heaven Never had the chance at life that the rest of us do Well, they're in a better place Nevertheless, the incompetence of government, emasculating people from to know and I happen to like Governor Greg Abbott, who suffered, of course, a catastrophic accident when he was a young man, which has paralyzed him from the waist down. The person running against him is a left-wing lunatic, but he did make a point when he interrupted that press conference, which is everybody on this stage, and he was pointing to Governor Abbott, he was pointing to the mayor, he was pointing to the police chief, failed to protect those children. I don't know if Beto O'Rourke, when he said this, had any idea how bad the failure was.

And it's compounded by the lies that keep coming out of Uvalde. But the failure was catastrophic, and the more we learn, the more we know we cannot rely on the government to keep us safe. We must do it ourselves. Judge Napolitano for judging freedom.
