Why is NRA ok with guns for terrorists?
http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/02/opinions/wheeler-nra-guns-terrorists/index.html

Because the legislation really doesn't accomplish jack. While over 2,000 people on the watch list have bought a gun since 2004, not a single person has been identified using a gun in the commission of a crime.

Also:

The Feinstein amendment would also ban the sale of guns to anyone who is on the terrorist watch list. Now, being on the watch list sure sounds bad, but it doesn’t mean that a person has been convicted of anything. In fact, it is pretty easy to get on the watch list; you can be on it simply because the FBI wants to interview you about someone you might know. According to the TechDirt website, about 40 percent of the people on the watch list are considered to be under “reasonable suspicion” even though they have absolutely “no affiliation with known terrorist groups.”

And this:

While some people on “no-fly” lists are there because they are suspected of terrorist activity, you can also get added because you are a suspect in a criminal case, made controversial statements or tweets unrelated to terrorism, are the victim of a clerical error, or refused to become a government informant.

BTW, you do realize it is JUST AN OPINION, don't you?

Ummmm, no not really. It is a fact that GOP House members blocked a debate on a nearly ten year old bill that would block known terrorists from purchasing firearms. So much for Republicans pretending they give a rat's ass about fighting terror.

Nope, wrong ..... yet again. Refugees have no inherent right to enter this country. They are allowed to do so because of their exceptional status and compassion. Visas can be denied for a variety of non-criminal reasons to immigrants, students, or visitors.

However gun laws covering purchases by citizens apply just the same to legal immigrants with some additional requirements when people are exercising their Constitutional rights. Apples/oranges comparison.

The proposed law is a solution in search of a problem. It's obvious from the current no fly list that weapons being purchased by a small percentage of people aren't being used in criminal activity. The legislation is a knee jerk, feel good response that fails to provide any additional security

Since you are in denial of the Moslim terrorist doing their thing, I thought it best to give you some remedial education on terrorism and which terrorists are at the forefront. THAT BE MOSLIM TERRORISTS.

Admission of that will clear the 'guilty American' complex you are suffering from.

And suspected/known terrorists have an inherent right right to purchase firearms? I think you're going to need more straws.

However gun laws covering purchases by citizens apply just the same to legal immigrants with some additional requirements when people are exercising their Constitutional rights. Apples/oranges comparison.

The only apples/oranges in this comparison is the fact that the denial of the right to purchase a gun is based gathered intelligence, while denying the refugees of a temporary citizenship is based on phobias and political posturing.

You're right. Wouldn't want to overreact, it's not like these terrorists don't have a strong history of gun violence.

What a sad, sad state of affairs we have in our country. This man received an anti-Semitic death threat hours before he was killed by a recently radicalized Muslim. One can only speculate at this point on what prompted his radicalization, but the rampant hatred for Muslims in this country certainly played a role. Not to mention the whole Black Lives Matter movement, which you can say what you want, but I'm sure a Black wasn't the one who made the anti-Semitic threat. And I don't see Blacks jacking around Muslims too much. What will it take to end the Xenophobia in this counrty?

You know what a sad state of affairs is? Justifying this massacre by turning the shooter into a victim. That's as outrageous as Reverend Wright asserting that the US brought on the 9/11 attacks and was a case of chickens coming home to roost. You have a very sick mind.

Muslims in the United States are experiencing the greatest degree of religious liberty they have ever experienced. Certainly more than they ever experienced in their own countries with their internecine wars between the Sunni and Shiite sects.

Gomezz Adddams Thu Dec 03, 2015 7:50 pm

Interesting take on the San Bernardino terrorist attack:

As analysts hand-wring over why Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik chose colleagues as a target -- thus stoking assumptions of a "mixed" terrorism motive that included being sparked by some disagreement or grudge with Farook's co-workers -- the reason for the location of Wednesday's massacre could simply be linked to terrorists' focus on the holiday.

Al-Qaeda and ISIS have encouraged attacks on Christmas Day and at Christmas-themed events to take advantage of vulnerable crowds and to strike at the heart of a Christian holiday.

Are you kidding me? You're justifying their behavior on how he somehow was radicalized? You're blaming those that radicalized him? You're blaming the Black Lives Matter movement and saying that Blacks being persecuted somehow had something to do with this shooting?

That's rich.

"What will it take to end the Xenophobia in this country"?

I know what it will take. It will take idiots like you leaving the country.

This guy went to Sadia Arabia, met his new wife, and married her and returned in 9 days. She was given more strict scrutiny before entering this country than your Dear Leader wants to give the Syrian refugees he's trying to bring into this country.

But go ahead. Continue to blame the way white people treat other races in this country. That has EVERYTHING to do with this mass shooting.....

It'd sure be nice if you would just stick to what I say instead of always having to add your little spin. I'm not justifying anything. We have a toxic environment in this counrty, due extreme racial tension, that leads to violence. And any time anyone says anything, or asks a few questions, someone pulls the race baiting card. You can blame whomever you like but what I see right now today is a certain presidential candidate whose racial rhetoric gets more venomous by the day, while his poll numbers soar.

Over Thanksgiving I was sitting around with my BiL's talking about TV shows. I mentioned that I like watching "Empire". One BIL looked at me and said "Isn't that a bunch of blacks?". Everyone within earshot was immediately silent, and he was embarrassed. He should have been. He doesn't know a single black person and has no dealings with black people whatsoever. Bigotry plain and simple.
