A DACA recipient now stands accused of torching churches and businesses across New York City, a reminder that the same open-border policies that flood sanctuary cities with unvetted migrants also erode the very neighborhoods where law-abiding citizens must increasingly rely on the Second Amendment for self-defense. While the media reflexively frames such violence as random or “mental-health related,” the pattern is unmistakable: progressive prosecutors and sanctuary rules create safe havens for repeat offenders and foreign nationals alike, leaving storefront owners and parishioners to weigh whether their local DA will even prosecute an arsonist before the next Molotov lands. For the 2A community this is not an abstraction; every torched church steeple and shattered storefront underscores why permitless carry and constitutional carry expansions matter—when government cannot or will not secure the public square, the right to keep and bear arms becomes the last functional deterrent between order and chaos.
