Let's ban islam/muslims, liberals next.

So...... the democrats/liberal/socialists invite islamic terrorists into the United States. They then go onto committing mass murder.

And now the answer is to ban American "assault rifles".

Let's ban islam and muslims instead and work our way to banning liberal/socialists.



Dems renew push for gun control measures, aim for terror watch list

Barnini Chakraborty

By Barnini Chakraborty
·Published June 15, 2016

Congressional Democrats are renewing their push for gun control measures in the wake of the Orlando terror massacre, arguing the best way to prevent suspected terrorists from carrying out acts of violence is to legally limit their access to firearms.

Republicans have their own proposals for confronting the terror threat, and warn that certain gun control measures could make Americans less safe. House Speaker Paul Ryan on Tuesday touted proposals to improve refugee screening and other measures to deal with homegrown terrorism.

But while some Democrat-backed gun proposals have little chance of passing -- like a reinstated assault-weapons ban, a move President Obama endorsed Tuesday -- others could gain traction in Congress.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., specifically are pushing a proposal to the top of the Democratic agenda that would bar suspected terrorists from purchasing guns and explosives.

Projecting

Since the tyrants like to project behavioral characteristics on others, here's a little back. Feinstein & Schumer & their ilk (cast of thousands) had a not insignificant portion of their 'back-room' inner selves jumping for joy when they heard of the Orlando tragedy. Frankly, they eat this shit up.

It's going to come down to two camps:

Those that eat bacon and those that do not.

You'll find me with the bacon eaters camp.

There are some well articulated thoughts in this simple article - the Second Amendment did not kill those innocent people in Orlando - a screwed up Muslim terrorist did.

TERROR REACTION
Cal Thomas: Debate a logic-free zone
Cal Thomas
Published: Wednesday, June 22, 2016 at 5:30 a.m.

Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Massachusetts, recently disclosed that a congressional investigation has found at least 72 employees of the Department of Homeland Security listed on the U.S. terrorist watch list.

In other news, President Obama used a memorial service for the victims of the Orlando massacre to advocate for more gun control laws. Anyone else see a contradiction in these two items?

Interviewers frequently ask me why I don’t favor more gun control laws. My response: Name one law that deters someone intent on breaking the law. Murder has been prohibited since the beginning of civilization, but people still murder. One might as well outlaw human nature.

Only those predisposed to obey laws will obey them. Florida prohibits openly carrying firearms and many places advertise “gun-free zones,” which can be an open invitation to anyone intent on mass murder. The Orlando shooter, Omar Mateen, reportedly visited Pulse nightclub several times before breaking its gun-free zone policy. That night, he entered the club with an assault rifle and entered into a gun battle with the club’s security guard, an off-duty police officer. He then retreated to a bathroom, taking hostages. Had Mateen cased the place? Did he know the guard would be the only one standing in his way? It would appear so.

Despite the president’s claim to the contrary, it is reasonable to believe that even a small number of armed patrons might have limited the number of fatalities. And had the shooter known he would encounter armed patrons perhaps he might not have chosen that particular club as his target.

More gun laws are not the answer. Britain has some of the toughest gun laws in the world, but that did not stop a deranged man from shooting and stabbing to death Labour MP Jo Cox.

Omar Mateen was a radical Muslim who pledged his allegiance to ISIS. Why do so many of us find it hard to accept that Islamists want to kill us as part of a strategy to create a worldwide caliphate? And why is the president adopting their language by using the term ISIL, which stands for the “Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant,” a larger area of the Middle East that includes Lebanon, Jordan and Syria? The president uses their terminology, but refuses to say “Islamic terrorism,” while continuing to allow thousands of Syrian refugees into America when authorities say there are so many that they can’t conduct proper background checks.

The answer to the first question is political correctness. The owner of the gun store where Mateen purchased his rifle says he also asked about body armor. When Mateen left the store, someone contacted the FBI. The follow-up, however, proved insufficient.

James Kallstrom, a former FBI assistant director, recently spoke with Megyn Kelly on her Fox News show. Kallstrom told Kelly that orders have come down from the White House that the bureau cannot investigate “anything to do with Muslims” and agents are “petrified” of losing their jobs if they do.

Islamists could not have a better friend in the White House had they put one of their own there.


The media and liberal activists have returned to their default positions, of course. New York Times columnist Charles Blow blames conservative Christians and their biblical doctrines on marriage, sexuality, even evolution for fomenting “hate” against LGBT people, a hate that, supposedly, propelled Mateen toward mass homicide.

Truth is often a casualty in politics, but in a presidential election year it has become a mass casualty.

Standing the test

Happened to catch this piece from yesterday which cites the SFA appropriate roasting of Petraeus & McChrystal, as well as The Letter which continues to stand as a reference for many.

Quote:
After President Obama threatened wide-ranging “executive actions” a month after the Sandy Hook massacre, more than 1,100 Green Berets wrote him a public letter that outlined their position, and gently reminded the President that their duty was to defending the Constitution against all enemies, and that they owed no allegiance to any particular President.

It was not lost on Mr. Obama that the Green Berets specialize in fomenting insurrections and overthrowing governments, and the First Golfer has confined himself to making anti-gun speeches ever since.

And in other news...

Matt Damon, star of a series I highly enjoyed... is an idiot. (And a hypocrite).

Quote:
Hollywood actor Matt Damon used a press conference in Australia over the Fourth of July weekend to discuss his desire for a massive confiscation of U.S. guns.

“You guys did it here in one fell swoop [in 1996] and I wish that could happen in my country, but it’s such a personal issue for people that we cannot talk about it sensibly,” Mr. Damon said during a promotional engagement in Sydney for the movie “Jason Bourne.”

The action star went on to say people get too “emotional” when it comes to “not selling AK47s to people on terror watchlists.”

Mr. Damon also discussed the Dec. 12, 2012, massacre in Newtown, Connecticut, where 20-year-old Adam Lanza stole his mother’s legal weapons, killed her and then did the same to 20 children at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

“Obviously, mass shootings aren’t going to do it. There have been so many of them at this point. Sandy Hook, when those children were murdered, if that didn’t do it, you know, I just don’t know. Maybe we just need to evolve further before we can have that conversation, I don’t know,” Mr. Damon said, the Sydney Morning Herald reported Sunday.

Hey Matt Damon - we can't control our own borders and the movement of illegal aliens or the movement and possession of illegal drugs and you propose we round up all of our legal firearms? Leaving only law abiding folks defenseless? Good luck with that.

FBI: June Is 14th Consecutive Month of Record Background Checks
Breitbart
by AWR HAWKINS5 Jul 2016

New FBI figures show June 2016 is the 14th consecutive month of record background checks for gun sales.

The previous FBI record for June — set in June 2o15 — was 1,529,057. The number of background checks in June 2016 was 2,131,485.

According to the FBI figures, this means June 2016 saw more background checks than any June since background checks began in 1998. Breitbart News previously reported that the record-breaking streak began in May 2015, only to have May 2016 exceed the number of background checks performed a year earlier.

On June 27, Breitbart News used FBI figures to show that the number of background checks conducted during the Obama presidency is so high that it averages out to nearly 52,000 a day. That means, an average of 52,000 citizens a day go to a retail store to buy a gun, two guns, or even more.

If Damon truly believed his rhetoric...he wouldn't allow himself to profit from activities portraying the use of such evil instruments. He is yet another hypocritical talking head in Hollywood that feels his opinion matters.

If he wants to get some attention...then turn down movies that involve the use of weapons. Then...I will say he is a man that truly stands on his principles.

I would sincerely like to see Hollywood put their cockholsters in the same location as their spotlighting fucking social activism...

I want to see empty souls like Matt Damon, Sylvester Stallone, Mark Walhberg, Liam Neeson, Danny Glover, and George Clooney commit to never again appear in, direct, produce, support, or in any way enable a film that glorifies firearms in any way.

I also challenge hypocrites to give up armed protection services; people like Rosie O'Donald, Michael Moore, and all of the other hollyweird hypocrites that don't mind having armed guards protecting them and their parties and awards ceremonies, but don't seem to think "normal" aMEricans should have access to that same kind of personal protection.
...give up your guns fatty
...you too Rosie

I also challenge them to surrender any and all monies collected through profiteering on the shoulders of gun violence.
I'm sure all of the money that Sly made on the Rambo franchise could be put to good use making our communities safer.

But it wont happen...
...because all animals are equal but some are more equal than others.
