I'm not trying to ban them, simply use common sense to regulate them. You gun nuts always go for the absolutes. There is nothing to reconcile. Again will bad people still get them, sure, nobody has ever argued that, yet gun nuts keep using it. It's a straw man argument, but the dumbing down of the US makes it compelling to the sub idiots (ie majority of the gun owners).
I answered your question, so now answer mine. Show me a country with strict gun control that has even a fraction of the gun violence the US has?
If I started tomorrow, I could be a gun owner here in less then a month.
Why are you still using first grade logic?
Mexico.
Your turn.
It's been well known by all strategist and military scholars since 300 BC that fighting a war like this is an auto loss. And, yet we keep doing it. Vietnam taught us nothing.
Agree.
FL33, you realize we trained Bib Laden and what became the command structure for both Al-Qaeda and the Taliban when they were fighting the USSR correct? We trained the people that helped attack us in Somalia, the USS Cole, and 9/11. So that is why I am saying our policy in the middle east is moronic. By the way, 9/11 was (allegedly) funded by several members of the Saudi royal family, you know our "ally."
So instead of learning the lesson of 1970s-80s, we then arm and probably some cases trained the remnants of Al-Qaeda in Iraq to fight Assad in Syria. You know them as ISIS.
And yes, I would be more than willing to accept 10,000 Syrian refugees, because I don't see a Jihadi under every burqa. I know I have far more to fear from right-wing extremist shitheads like VPM than I do one of the 6 million Muslims already living in the US.
Debatable whether we trained bin laden. Probably not. Assisted the mujadeen, yes.
Again...I hear your complaints. What's your solution? I don't pretend to know the solution to ME policy, so I'm open to ideas. Proxy wars don't work (we trained bin laden). Invasion doesn't work (see currently). Non intervention doesn't work (see France). So.......?
Re your last paragraph: the argument that you hate the christian religious extremists here currently, so you want to surround yourself with foriegn muslim religious extremists appeals to me in neither logic nor fact.
