    My lord your logic seems a little lacking as no group is completely safe to bring into this nation so therefore if we wish zero risk we should stop any foreigner from any nation and religion from emigrating to the US.

    We should bar the English from coming over here as Americans are killed from time to time by emigrated from England and we can not allow that to go on now can we?

    The poor woman below would likely to be alive today if we had only stop this man from moving to the US.

    That would really depend and vary, Say a thousand or so 4 to 5 times yearly. But a standard walk or bike path? don't know and can't say. Popular ones might have 100 people on them all the time all the daylight hours on weekends

    About as many people from that area do those kinds of things today as do people from here, they're just not called as such but are said to be "romantic triangles" etc. And up until the 1950's we believed that both those things were perfectly normal too. Examine the popular literature of the time, particularly detective novels

    If we allowed people to carry bazookas they could defend themselves.

    Support open carry now!

    As are the misinformed pretensions of those who substitute prejudice and bigotry for study and common sense.

    Wouldn't help, people still got to walk

    We could ban religion, I would support deporting EVERYBODY who thought religion is something people should fight over, I don't have any idea who would accept them though.

    If I remember correctly the laws in Texas once allow a man who caught his wife in bed with another man to killed both of them and walk away free in the 1940s or 1950.

    Sorry there was such a law and it did not change until 1972 repeat 1972.

    Good idea as for myself even those my bike was lighten up like a landing 747 a neighbor not a terrorist ran me down one night and this happen a few weeks after I went on blood thinners.

    In my younger days I was crazy enough to sky dive and fly a 300 pounds ultralight to ten thousands feet however the nearest I came to dying was on my bike that night.

    So let ban bikes as they are too dangerous with or without terrorists..:alcoholic:

    Nah, you need something to take out reinforced vehicles and large trucks. Bazookas for everyone! It's the only way to make America safe.

    Cities are badly designed. The real solution is to permanently separate the pedestrians from the vehicle traffic. Eliminate all regular traffic in areas with large populations of pedestrians. Only allow small electric vehicles and public transportation in those areas.

    Support Mandatory Carry.
    Open or Concealed.
    gun-free-zone.png



    Mandatory Carry is like required vaccinations
    Instead of "herd immunity" it's about "herd defense".
    Everyone carries to protect others as well as themselves.
    A means to dissuade terrorist as well as crazies.

    Why shoot, I was only referring to when I'm on foot. This weekend I'm mounting two M-134D's on my Huey for when I do my shopping on the other end of town and when I take my family on picnics.

    I am a veteran of an open gun shoot-em-up war, killing everything that moves. My wife and my children can do without it, me too. But I can send you over there to get your kicks if you want. And if you think guns are cool then I'd much rather that you are over there anyway. The more you are away from civilization the longer civilization will remain civilized.

    Then they'll simply change their tactics and do it in places where small crowds congregate? ( :roll: :wall: )

    Or maybe NO crowds. I'm still waiting for one of them to get the idea of killing people just going about their business with a high-powered rifle. There was a guy who did that just a few years ago in the DC area but he wanted money.

    Besides for us all to convert to Islam and make women wear tents I have no idea what ISIS wants. I am becoming increasingly convinced they don't either, It seems the American penchant to commit suicide and take several innocent people with you may be spreading

    They want one global religion, which is Islam, global Sharia law, and a return to the 7th century by the obliteration of all works of art, and the destruction of all technological advances. You really ought to watch Bitter Lake to see how ****ing mad they are.

    I am completely logical, just as your general chicken farmer is. In fact, this is so logical as to mess with the heads of those people who indulge in irrationality and illogic, thinking they are rational and logical.

    If you have no muslims, you have no radical islamic attacks to worry about. I know, the simplicity of this is just too complex for some minds to grasp. You sure cannot grasp it.

    It is no different in principle that a new virus appearing, which has a 100 percent kill rate, is incurable and no vaccines work. The first order of the day is to keep out people from the nations that are infected. While understanding not every person from that nation is infected, or a carrier. But you would never risk such a virulent virus from coming to our shores given the kill rate. Of course you can predict what the Left would do, and holler about. They would raise hell if we cut off all of the people from a nation that is infected, which to a sane mind only proves the utter stupidity involved in their thinking. If you do not know who a radical is or that he might be radicalized once he gets here, you stop them from coming, and any that came here, you load em up and send em back home. But only if you want to protect americans. And eliminate the risk as much as humanly possible. The Left could not give a sh*t about protecting americans, they only want to exercise their unicorn and rainbows fantasies. That is self evident from observation.

    Somewhere between your neighbor having a nuclear missile and taking guns away from law enforcement is some common ground. Unfortunately, the anti-second amendment crown can only think of things that only apply to law abiding citizens.

    I am pro second amendment. But the idea that every idiot who wants should be sporting a gun in public is insane. I wouldn't trust some of these people to feed my cats.

    In Vegas, their guns did them no good. And sooner or later, something will happen where there are a lot of armed citizens. Nobody will know who's the good guys and who's the bad guys, and everyone is going to be shooting at everyone else. Throw in the cops and god only knows what happens.

    Even cops who have been highly trained freak out when the real deal hits. And the "fog of war" is well known to any soldier who has seen battle. Just wait. This open carry insanity is going to result in a bloodbath. It is probably shear luck that the crowd in Vegas didn't start shooting among themselves.

    So should we take guns away from law enforcement?

    There are constitutional issues with banning religion, but not about banning people walking!


    So your two big suggestions on fighting terrorism is....don't. Build barriers instead and deport religious people...probably most of the country.

    For the life of me I can't understand why you aren't an anti-terrorism task force! I hope you get these ideas to whichever Democratic candidate is running in 2020. That will put old Drumpf in his place!
