I enjoy you watching you flail around accepting a candidate that is under a federal criminal investigation for giving away state secrets.

Ha! Accept Clinton? When did I do that? I've been advocating people vote Johnson regularly.

More parties can help fix things.

Thanks for being dumb though! Stay brave!

lol - Johnson - libertopians.

Even more retarded.

Again, not me, idiot. I just want more parties involved. CA will go Clinton for sure, so I can vote Johnson with no Trump risk.

But tell me more about who gets apoplectic about politics.

Why the hell would we stop a terrorist on the no fly list from purchasing an assault weapon?
Why force them to fly off to Pakistan to arm themselves when they could just stroll into their local gun shop here and buy a weapon of mass murder off the rack?
Do we really want to make it any more difficult for them terrorist?
Look at what they already go through.
FBI interrogation. Fight school. Body shaving. Building dangerous bombs in the bedroom.
Haven't terrorist put up with risking enough, already?
I say, stop them terrorist at the airport boarding gate, but put a smile on their face by handing them a gun.
A BIG gun.
A really BIG HUGE gun.
And maybe cab fare bach to their apartment.

It's unbelievable; for people that do not like Trump consume so much time in this forum addressing him, i think you guys are afraid he wins and thus you loose your establishment rights if you have some.

Yes, let's not discuss the crazy man aka one of the 2-3 people running to be our president. I'm sure we can find many better things to discuss. :thumbsup:

Of course the NRA won't support blocking terrorists from getting guns, the NRA is a terrorist organization with the intent of increasing gun violence for the sake of creating fear in the populace that they then use to convince the fearful to buy more guns.

So now the 'conservative' hero has just switched gears in his gun ownership stance. The only two candidates running support 'no fly list' = no gun purchase. The second amendment means shit to these cowards.

Whats the criteria for being put on a 'no fly' list?

How much time and money must you dish out to get off it?



It's clear they are taking away gun ownership via backdoor rape. Fucking assholes!

http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/15/politics/donald-trump-nra-meeting/index.html

Isnt it grand? Both candidates want to take away rights based on lists created by their potential govt. Dems filibustered yesterday to get a vote on this capability. I cant think of a more racist proposal to deny constitutional rights unless they flat passed a law stating nobody with muslim sounding name is allowed 2nd amendment rights.

I had a coworker that immigrated from Egypt/became a US citizen and was a Field Service Engineer, he was placed on the No-Fly list. He had to drive to/from projects for over 2 years before he could get his name taken off the list. He couldn't fly home for his grandmother's funeral. He had the same name as someone who was in a terrorist organization in Yemen. Funny thing is he even had a Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) card which requires requires criminal background check to acquire.

The no fly list is an abomination, a historical relic of the massive authoritarian propaganda campaign that facilitated the invasion of Iraq. Gitmo is the same thing.

The worst part is that people who really should know better seem fine with it.

What difference does this make to the discerning electorate who has been watching and listening to his words from the beginning? o_O

Why are people assuming being on a no-fly or terrorist watch list means never getting a gun vs a delay. Just pay a visit to local fed law enforcement office and get your case adjudicated.

Here are two examples of people I want to get further scrutiny before purchasing a gun

Person A - Social media posts of allegiance to ISIS
Person B - Social media posts of allegiance to the Klan

perhaps we should be more concerned about the ease with which individuals are placed on the no fly list rather than worry about potentially depriving an innocent American of a few months of new gun ownership in a good-faith attempt to, you know, not sell guns to terrorists?

It's kind of funny - when the shooting occurred in Orlando, people were posting on this forum that Trump just won that state. Trump took the anti-Muslim stance, Hillary took the stricter gun control regulations stance, you know, the one that the majority of Americans favor, but hasn't happened because NRA? I don't think Florida hurt Hillary - I think it hurt Trump, and now he's reacting to it to try to regain lost ground.

All it took was simple thinking for the public - "wait. So this guy's family emigrated to the United States while Saint Reagan was in office?" "So, these terrorists were born in the United States - they're not guys who came over here?"

Sept 11, 2001, the World Trade Center was demolished. The Pentagon was attacked. Thousands of people lost their lives. If in 2002, you rubbed a crystal ball and said, "I see an average of 7.2 people a year dying at the hands of terrorists carrying out their terrorism in the name of a Middle East organization over the next 15 years" You'd have been laughed at for being so optimistic. Yet, the number is 7.2 When you realize that's how insignificant the problem really is, listen to Trump's rhetoric, look what Hillary's asking for, realize that a majority of Americans support increased regulations of firearms, particularly in regard to background checks... Trump chose his side wrong and is backpedaling.

OH MY! Once again this post, and others like it goes to prove how effective the indoctrination of our youth, and of non-critically thinking adults has worked.
America is doomed. :'(

Looking at your previous post, the word irony immediately comes to mind.
