Much more likely to get caught or have something go wrong and not achieve your goal I would think going that route.

And the U.S. responded by beefing up security at airports, making it extremely difficult for terrorist to replicate 9/11. Does that guarantee we won't be attacked somewhere down the line? No. But its much more difficult for terrorists to attack us on home soil now.

Well dammit a good gun control law may work on the next one. No, they don't understand what you said but what they want is all the guns melted down so Obama has an easier track to what they want to do to the country. Keep saying it because sometime one of them will see your point and then another and so on.

No it isn't, it has only shifted where the threat is.

One would think they would stop that crap now but they won't.

You have absolutely no clue as to what my method would be but you feel you can criticize it?

If it were still possible for terrorists to again attack us with our planes, they would have done it by now.

You don't think it would be a good idea to 100% eliminate guns from the Black Community ? Do they need the weapons for self defense ?

Well, let's hope they go up to the point where your average mass murderer can't afford to buy them from anyone. Period. Get it?
You are still saying "buy" weapons and I am still saying that he "stole" those weapons from his mother's house after shooting her in the face. The cost of weapons just isn't as important as most of you of the left lean think it is since many people will steal them.

Leaners keep telling me that having a weapon in my house is not going to protect me if someone wants to steal it when I am not at home. I will not keep my gun meant to be protection for my wife and I in a locked cabinet.

Might as well legalize flamethrowers and nerve agents. Psychopaths will find a way to harm us anyway, lets cut the crap and simplify things for them.
