DHS actually deleted from its database information which could have prevented both the San Bernardino and Orlando attacks, see http://video.foxnews.com/v/494198788...#sp=show-clips
THR has it figured out.More stringent gun control to protect us against terrorists? Doesn't make sense. Johnson is just following the Obama-Clinton game plan. Maybe they need to figure out how to do their jobs and new laws are not the answer. These people just want a Australia-England type gun environment in the US. It does not fit with the US heritage. Keep telling yourself, we are not sheep, we are the sheep herder.
The truth is that while we just lost 49 people to an act of terrorism (with some possible personal grudge as a motivation), since January of this year there were 280 homicides in Chicago. According to the Chicago Tribune, there were 64 in May alone.

We're all distracted and running around with our hair on fire over the threat of terrorism, but "regular" Americans commit many more acts of violence. Just something to keep it in perspective.
Deanimator said:Only if you consider sharia law "a personal grudge".
The GLARING difference is that, by and large, if I avoid the drug trade and those involved in it, I probably WON'T get shot, even in Chiraq. The only "justification" an islamist needs for shooting me is for me to not BE an islamist. If you're GAY? That makes it a matter of URGENT business to shoot... or behead, or defenestrate you.
The AMA is jumping into this also.
They will declare that gun violence is a public health emergency.
Get ready folks, it is coming at us from all sides.
It's all about Tyranny. This administration is a prime example of why the 2nd is in there to begin with.
This isn't and never was about "widespread sharia law". It's about animals who WANT widespread sharia law.Widespread Sharia law in the US ain't gonna happen.
It only took one to shoot up the Ft. Hood PAC and Pulse. It only took two to shoot up a Christmas party in San Bernardino.There are only about 3 million Muslims in the US.
And just how MANY people IS that?I think that poll is likely intentionally skewed to paint a more extremist & scary picture of Muslims, but even if it isn't, that's about one half of one per cent of the population of the US.
It's not a question of "may". It's a certainty of DOES. The question is when and where he'll choose to do it and whether I'll be there.And yes, an Islamic terrorist may want to kill you just for being you. Someone else may want to kill you for being near a Planned Parenthood. Another person may want to kill you for being a black Christian in a South Carolina church.
Deanimator said:Other than shills for the Muslim Brotherhood, NOBODY is buying the nonsense that an ONGOING AND GROWING THREAT GUIDED BY A COHERENT IDEOLOGICAL MOVEMENT is equivalent to random nuts with individual grudges. It's like equating 9/11 to the B-25 that crashed into the Empire State Building.
And that's COMPLETELY irrelevant to children, not born when the U.S. invaded Iraq, dismembered by the Tsarnaev brothers. It's not relevant to a bunch of gay men and lesbians in a disco either.Yep, there is a coherent effort to promote militant Islamic violence worldwide. We helped plant the seeds for it by invading a country that didn't have anything to do with 9/11, then leaving that huge space governed by divisive morons.
The people in the Ft. Hood PAC fell down because a sniveling coward shot them.Statistically though, my chances of being killed by a terrorist are much lower than my chances of being killed by falling down, or by a mistake from the doctor who would treat me for falling down.

The people in the Ft. Hood PAC fell down because a sniveling coward shot them.
The people in Boston fell down because their legs were blown off.
The people in Pulse fell down because a sniveling coward shot them.
And NONE of them were killed by a doctor. They were killed an IDEOLOGY, and ideology that the current junta is determined not to even RECOGNIZE, nevermind fight. They're FAR too obsessed with fighting lawful gun owners. But then they don't HATE the islamists...
And shockingly, none of it seems to have ANYTHING to do with the Book of Mormon.The Middle East, Africa, and Europe have all experienced acts of terrorism recently.
