Liberty Check
The Defense Secretary has authorized nearly 2,000 National Guard members to carry arms in Washington, D.C. if needed. This move is aimed at supporting efforts to address rising crime while respecting constitutional principles.
“At the direction of the Secretary of Defense, JTF-DC members supporting the mission to lower the crime rate in our nation’s capital will soon be on mission with their service-issued weapons, consistent with their mission and training,” a U.S. defense official stated.
- 2,000 National Guard troops may carry weapons in D.C. as required by their duty.
- The decision supports a renewed push for public safety rooted in rule of law.
- Constitutional protections and the need to reduce crime are at the forefront.
The administration’s actions reflect a commitment to principle-driven, limited government solutions for national challenges.
Our freedoms depend on staying vigilant.
